Factorio Forums

Please stop calling game mods "modules." Mods is short for modifications, not modules. It makes searching for things about Factorio Modules difficult.

I don't really see people calling mods "modules" and searching the forum for it didn't show it either. The only exception to this is DyTech, where it makes sense because it's a modular mod and therefore it consists of many modules.

I was about to answer you, but because of Rahjital answer it will be easier for me :

Problem: There are threads that mention "modules" but don't talk about the in-game "module" items.

Solution: Create a thread that mentions "modules" but doesn't talk about the in-game "module" items.
