[SOLVED] Mod will not work

[Staplergun]

I created a mod but when I place it in the game file, the game launches but does not detect the mod. It has all the correct files needed.
If I go into the modlist.json file and place it in there as an entry, the game edits it out and resaves it.

Please attach the mod to this thread so we can have a look at the code to see what's wrong.

First idea is, you forgot

Code: Select all

"factorio_version":"0.16"

in info.json

No actually, I did the zipped file wrong. I was zipping the outer shell folder instead of the folder one layer up from the data, so it was two layers deep and had no idea what was in it. I just got it to appear in my game client for the first time and I'm really excited about it.

I looked over other peoples mods and copied explicit formats that work but removed all data pertaining to the design to create a "Test mod" effectively with a fake renamed entity from base. I appreciate you taking the time to answer, and if I have any further issues I will come reply to this thread.

Ok thanks for the update.

If you like you can change the title of your first post to
