Factorio Mods

A database for Factorio mods.

Planned features

• Integration with Github
  • Automatically scrap the releases from mods hosted in Github instead of adding the releases manually and hosting them on AWS.
  • Automatically use the Github README file as mod description and use the first pharagraph as summary
• Read dependencies from the info.json file in the zipped
  • Actually add inter-mod dependencies, for now it just saves information about the Factorio version required
• Fork Factorio Mod Manager or convince someone that actually knows Java to register a factoriomod:// protocol to automatically download and install the mods by clicking "install" on the web app
• Add bookmarks functionality for users to save mods and access them easily
• Track mods downloads and visits, for stats, and for later history checking by users
• Add a more automated way to authorize developers, instead of receiving PMs in the forum
• Support for multiple authors
• Support for mod forking detection
• I noticed a few devs use AdFly to get a little support, maybe I could add a pop up on the first download and ask the user if he wants to activate an "dev-support-download toggle" to turn all downloads into AdFly links for the dev. And maybe a custom YouTube video link, also for support.
• Feature to create modpacks. Just select the mods you want and then it's gonna create a joined zip with all the mods. Or maybe just a page with the list of the mods and their downloads buttons, a big zipped file sounds like an expensive bandwidth bill. It could just download everything with one click, that would be better.
