Installing and Using the RedMew Scenario

Some scenarios have more detailed information about setting them up or configuring them, see the Map Guides section of the sidebar before continuing with the generic RedMew installation. To install the RedMew scenario directly into something playable, download the latest release of RedMew_Full and take the next step based on your Operating System.

• Windows: extract the the zip file into %appdata%\Factorio\Scenarios\
• MacOS: extract the the zip file into ~/Library/Application Support/factorio/Scenarios/
• Linux: extract the the zip file into ~/.factorio/scenarios/

The folder structure after extraction should be scenarios/RedMew. If you are using the RedMew scenario for a public-facing multi-player server, please provide attribution back to github and keep links to the Discord, Patreon and website intact.

Note: these locations are based on the default configuration defined by factorio. If your installation is not default, these instructions may not apply.

Generating maps

The main method of generating the map of your choice is by opening map_layout.lua and removing the two dashes -- next to the map you want to play.

Previews of some maps are available in map_gen/data/.map_previews.

Custom Maps

For those willing to get in a little deeper and experiment, some map presets (and nearly all shapes) can also be combined with entity modules and/or misc modules to create unique variations such as diagonal_ribbon with glitter_ores. You can experiment with mixing as many modules as you want.

FactorioMapConverter (Windows only)

You can also generate your own maps from images. For more details see the Factorio Map Converter page.
