hi! first time posting here
So i have a huge map that some friends and i made over the course of some months and we want to create a poster out of it, but we dont know how to do it....
Can anyone help us and tell us / guide us on how to make it ?
I know that we need to use mods in order to make it... but i dont understand nothing about console commands and stuff like that i only know how to intall mods
Thanks!

I wanted to reply that you don't need any mods, you just start the game with the option to make a screenshot. So I looked up the right syntax for it....
Couldn't find it. It's not listed in the help output. Maybe I'm confusing it with the --generate-map-preview option. But you might want to request such a feature. Would be nice to give factorio a savegame and output name and optionally image size, center+zoom factor or corner coordinates and you get a screenshot.

I used to use
game.takescreenshot, but it does not work anymore.

It's just /screenshot, wiki lists it. /screenshot [x resolution] [y resolution] [zoom]

From what I remember screenshot size is limited by what GPU reports as biggest available texture size.
To go bigger you'd need to make tiles and stich them later.

Would this help?

It has a non-mod method if you’d rather, too.
