Pongles: Small changes

I am Pongles, I am a Canadian who instead of doing something of value does this.

== My Mods ==
I have a mod on the portal, I wouldn't recommend using it really, at least not at this stage. It's meant as a way for me to learn how to do all the different things available from the mod api.

Here it is: [https://mods.factorio.com/mod/cookies Cookies] (Edit: I never actually ended up following through)

Pongles: Fixed missed tilde to <code> conversion.

The [https://mods.factorio.com/ Factorio Mod Portal] is a free service run by Wube to allow the release and distribution of Factorio mods to players. Any user with a licensed copy of Factorio and an account on Factorio.com can upload their own mod creations with ease.

This page is meant to give mod creators a rundown on how to access and use the different features of the mod portal.

== Creating an Account ==

To create an account on the mod portal, you simply need to log into it with your Factorio.com account. In order to access the Portal's functionality, you must have a verified purchase (either done through the Factorio website, or through a linked Steam account), once you have that, you will have full access to downloading and submitting mods through the portal.

== Submitting your Mod ==

=== Verifying your mod is ready for upload ===

(See article: Mod:File_Structure)

In order to submit your mod to the Mod Portal, you should verify that it has the required folder structure and files.

The mod should be in a zip file, named with the syntax of <code>{mod-name}_{version_number}.zip</code>, and within the root directory of the mod, there should be a folder with the same name (minus the <code>.zip</code>).

Within that folder will be where all your mod's files and (other) folders will go, such as your <code>info.json</code>, <code>data.lua</code>, and <code>control.lua</code>. Your mod might have more files than that, such as a folder for prototypes, a <code>LICENSE</code> file, or a folder for locale but that is not the focus of this tutorial.

If you wish for your mod to have a thumbnail on the mod portal, then you should also include a <code>thumbnail.png</code> image as well.

Here is an example directory structure for a mod titled <code>myArmorMod</code> with a version number of <code>0.3.6</code>:

<pre>
myArmorMod_0.3.6.zip
|-myArmorMod_0.3.6/
|-control.lua
|-data.lua
|-info.json
|-thumbnail.png
</pre>

It is also recommended that you include a plaintext file called <code>LICENSE</code> to hold a copy of your mod's copyright license in case it gets distributed outside of the Mod Portal.

=== Uploading your mod ===

To upload your mod to the Mod Portal, go to [https://mods.factorio.com/mods/new Create New Mod] page (accessible through "Submit Mod" on every page). On this page, you will find:

{| class="wikitable"
! Section
! Info
|-
| Releases
| Opens a <code>file upload</code> dialog to select your mod's zip
|-
| Gallery
| Add images of your mod in action to show potential users ''(optional)''
|-
| Description

|-
| Category

|-
| License
| License of your mod's codebase, should be the same as what you have in your <code>LICENSE</code> file
|-
| Github path
| Location of the mod's github repo if it has one ``(optional)``
|}

Once you have properly filled out those sections, press "Submit" and congrats on releasing your mod! It should diseminate to the in-game Mod Portal after about 5 minutes.
