Factorio Forums

I found a weird glitch that might not be able to be fixed. In the mods section I tried to disable the Base Game 0.14.21 (Which was a stupid Idea) and now when I load the game it comes across an error about a nul file or something and the entire game suddenly freezes. I've tried deleting every trace file of the game and then re-downloading it but it when I do Steam Backup just re-downloads the game the exact way it was when I deleted it, so it just does the same thing. Is there any way that I can go into the files and maybe enable the Base Game 0.14.21 so I can get the game working again? I'd think this would already be patched but I think its because I installed a train mod that requires the base game for some reason and so it crashes before I load the game menu so I cant even enable the game. Not really sure but if anybody knows how to fix this PLEASE tell me.

WinKey-R (or the run menu, or the start menu) type in %appdata%/factorio/mods

delete the file called mod-list.json

Im using Mac which is different than Windows and Linux, do you know how to get to the folder in Finder on Mac?

~/Library/Application Support/factorio/mods

Wow I haven't been able to play Factorio in like forever because of that bug. Thanks man!
