I am using creeperhost as my dedicated server host. I have the server up and running and it works great. I am trying to figure out how to install mods on the server itself. I just purchased the game today and am 100% new to modding in Factorio. I tried installing mods from my server hosts install option that pulls straight from mods.factorio.com, and when I start the server up it gives me the following errors.

Code: Select all

So, I have been playing around with it a little bit, and it appears the mods arent working on the latest stable release. I loaded it on the earliest and got no errors. I have verified all of the mod versions that my host has are up to date and matching what is on mods.factorio.com.

With same data directory? It really looks like just corrupted mod files. Check

Code: Select all

unzip -qt /home/minecraft/.factorio/mods/Nanobots_1.0.0.zip

Actually, over the weekend, I ended up getting in touch with my host provider and they found an issue with their mods and resolved it. I was just about to manually add everything myself when they replied that they believe they fixed it and they did!
