Missing file for prototype construction

Post by chemnachao »

Hello

I downloaded lots of mods but since the download of this one "angels-ores", I can no more launch Factorio, the loading of the game stop at the creation of the prototype after the loading of the mods

I have the following error message :

"Error in assignID, item-subgroup with name 'angels-ores does not exist."

I tried to find a solution but both on this forum and on You Tube's tuto the access to the subfolder "Mods" in the file "Factorio" is needed but I don't have this subfolder so I don't know where my mods are stored =P
I tried also to remove the local content of the game from Steam and to uninstall it, but it doesn't work

So if someone can help me, I will be very happy ^^

I understood from your reply that I will find the mods I installed in the subfolder "Save" from the file "Factorio" but I only have three subfolders, "bin", "data" and "doc-html" however in "data" I found the subfolders "base" and "core" where there are in each one the subfolder "prototypes" link to my problem but I don't know how to handle with it =P

P.S: If you can do an answer in french I will be very gratefull ;)

Better forum search for modders: Enclose your search term in quotes, eg. "font_color" or "custom-input" - it prevents the forum search from splitting on hypens and underscores, resulting in much more accurate results.

In file manager, type: %appdata%\Factorio
