Created Page; Added Basic Outline
New page
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 `LICENSE` 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"

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.
