FACTORIO DOWNLOAD MANAGER UPDATE
If you want to have different versions of Factorio installed choose 'per Factorio version' and ModMyFactorio will update mods only to the latest Version available for its specific Factorio version.īecause this is the biggest release so far, I suspect there will be a few new bugs.

If you want to just always have the latest versions of Factorio and all mods, choose 'global' and ModMyFactory will always update to the very latest version of a mod. There are now two different modes available in the settings, 'per Factorio version' and 'global', that control how mods are updated. I have noticed that the server can sometimes be quite slow, so if ModMyFactory appears to take extremely long downloading/updating mods it's the servers fault. ModMyFactory will now create crash logs in %AppData%\ModMyFactory.'Latest' is now a valid Factorio version in links and will start the latest available Factorio version.Two different manager modes are now available.

The second part, it sounds like the app creates modpacks based on the filenames of the mods and then launches based on that? Is that why updating the mod will remove the mod from the pack? Since it changes the version (and name) of the mod? It sounds like getting the next version of your app out will be a pretty significant step toward getting what I am really hoping for then. I am not concerned about playing outdated versions of factorio, I always play the newest experimental, so it doesn't sound like the first issue will ever affect me. However, it will remove the updated mods from all modpacks. This will work (assuming the game only ever downloads the newest compatible version of a mod instead of the overal newest version if 0.13 would update to a mod version that was only compatible with 0.14 this would obviously break things but I hope the devs were smart enought to not do this). Thanks for your time and app! I love it so far

*Edit*: Also, if the app could support mod versioning, it would be really nice if you could have a checkbox on a mod or something that would say "load newest version available" so that you could maintain an active archive of mods in case you run into bugs or compatibility issues when updating them. I also have concerns about how well it would load up an older version of factorio if its not keeping mod versioning in mind as I update them manually. I run anywhere from 20-40 mods per pack, and it varies quite a lot between them. If I understand correctly I think that I can't *really* fully commit to this app until it can update mods for me. What sort of encryption is used by the app for the factorio login? (I have, and I imagine others will have, concerns about giving out login credentials to a third party app) Why does the program crash when I try to add a factorio version from folder instead of from zip? (I had to download a fresh standalone 圆4 0.14.12 to get the app to work) Why are the "download" and "from folder" buttons greyed out for the add mods dropdown? What would happen if I launched the game using your modmanager and then used the in game mod portal to 'update mods' ?ĭo I have to manually add mods to the program in order to keep up to date?
FACTORIO DOWNLOAD MANAGER HOW TO
I do have a few questions though if I may pick your brain! (I am also planning on a doing a short tutorial on my channel to teach people how to use this app since I think it is absolutely essential) I currently have no fewer than 5 separate factorio installs due to all the different configurations I do for youtube, twitch, solo play, multiplayer, etc. Hey Artentus, I really like what you've made so far and I am planning on starting to use it exclusively for my game management.

The manager has been pretty stable for the last few versions but better safe than sorry.ĭownloads for MMF2 will all be delivered through GitHub only as supplying them on the forum is a lot of manual work: The creation of backups is advised before using ModMyFactory, just in case.
