Alright, someone please help out a lost me. I just bought factorio, installed the mod, but it's not reading anything, it shows user login when I OCR the window, but no tutorials or mod scenarios. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Thanks. #Factorio #Gaming #AccessibleGaming.

Did you launch the game using the launcher inside the mod?

If you did, you'll get a terminal window with menu options for launching the game

in reply to Richie

Yeah, I have a space in my pc's username, and I can't change that, I have to re-install the whole windows, something I don't want to do.
in reply to Winter blue tardis🇧🇬🇭🇺

I've had no issue with that, but you can create a second user account on your machine instead of reinstalling everything.

I haven't had that issue myself though.

Run launcher.exe as admin the first time to get the configuration menu to load

in reply to Richie

Yeah, but I do what the instructions say, copy the foler into the data folder, but first, launcher wants to move to bin, so I move it, but then the only mod I see is base. So. I am not exactly sure what to do about it.
in reply to Winter blue tardis🇧🇬🇭🇺

You copy the files from the mod into the root of the Factorio folder.

It's actually easier if you grab the portable version of Factorio, then you can unpack it into your documents folder instead of installing it into program files.

Then copy the mod files into the root of there

in reply to Richie

Yeah, except I had to grab all the mods from the mods folder and copy them that way, but now it says this, even though I have the latest version from the repo.

That's telling you that you have downloaded version 2, which is the new release. I don't think that's accessible yet. You'll need to grab the older version 1 of Factorio
in reply to Richie

It can't be that old though, it tells me to create a map... What in the world of a mess is this...
in reply to Richie

I've been at this for 3 hours and a game shouldn't be so hard to fix, right? This is awful.
in reply to Winter blue tardis🇧🇬🇭🇺

You downloaded version 2, which has an entirely different gameplay.

Download version 1 and it'll work fine

in reply to Richie

YEs, I downloaded it, and it tells me to create a map when I start a new game. Wow this is messed up.
in reply to Winter blue tardis🇧🇬🇭🇺

I've not played it in a few months. They have a friendly support system on their Discord. I highly recommend that
in reply to Richie

I am not well with comms. I dislike discord. I don't have it on windows. I just don't get which contents I need to paste into the data folder, because there are folders in the folders. This is confusing. :(
in reply to Winter blue tardis🇧🇬🇭🇺

You paste the contents of the unpacked mod, files and folders into the root folder of Factorio
in reply to Richie

Well, I did that, and it's factorio access folder with some settings files and a mods folder. Except, now I go to launcher, and it's not letting me start at all.
in reply to Winter blue tardis🇧🇬🇭🇺

I don't know why not. The only place I know of to get help is Discord.

Sorry I can't be more help

in reply to Richie

That's okay. I just don't use discord. Well, at least there is someone I can give the game to play it. :)
