Hi !
At first look, you have made many mistakes :
- In your "info" file : Your extention is wrong : you make a .lua, but you need a .json;
- Inside the info file, you forgot to indicate the game version and the dependencies;
- In your /local/en folder, you have a local.cfg, rename it to config.cfg
It's just a rapid look, try to fix that et feed back ^^
For your info file :
Code: Select all
{
"name": "ez_electric_furnace",
"version": "0.1",
"title": "EZ Electric Furnace",
"author": "Gurekaperson",
"contact": "",
"homepage": "",
"factorio_version": "0.16",
"dependencies": ["base >= 0.16"],
"description": "adds an easy electric furnace."
}

Maybe his "local.cfg" work, but in this tutorial
https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Modd ... sir#Locale, he says to name the file like that !
In the mod folder, create a folder called locale, then create another folder inside that called en, then a file called config.cfg.

The name doesn't matter, the tutorial is just an example, you also don't have to follow the folder structure etc.

The file needs to be a zip not a rar...

I found an old version of my mod on a dropbox! How do I close this thread?
