IMPORTANT! If you still want achievements on steam please install through the method that doesn't require running the mod
Important Summary (ish)
- This mod doesn't overwrite the existing
enlocale and instead uses a different unsupported localeen-gb - Mod support is on a separate mod called mods-en-gb
- Includes Space Age, Quality and Elevated Rails DLC support inside as of version mod 0.2.0
Using on Factorio 2.1+ with en-gb 0.3.1+
- It is now possible in Factorio to load this mod and be able to select this Language as normal on the vanilla language selection screen
- If you still want vanilla achievements for steam with an unsupported language like this one, you are suggested to follow "via complete install" in Depricated
More info:
Inspired but not a derivative of https://mods.factorio.com/mod/BritishEnglishLocale but the thumbnail.png is from there
with file editing you may corrupt your game even though I wouldnt want it to currupt on your side, I do not take responsibility
Depricated Steps but still useful
How to Install (because of how the game manages unsupported languages)
via editing config.ini but when you switch language once you'll have to do again
- Find config.ini in User data directory
- Head to section
[general]and put the setting as:locale=en-gbas seen in the image
via adding a dedicated selector for en-gb
- Find mods folder in User data directory
- open the .zip (mod itself) and navigate to a folder called "basegame" which this folder is next to other files including info.json
- Navigate down it through basegame -> core -> locale -> en-gb -> info.json & copy this file
- Find your Factorio Application Directory
- navigate down data -> core -> locale & make a folder en-gb, in this folder paste the file you copied
- when you boot up the game it should now be select-able, this should not override unless you change your game install location
via complete install (with this you can actually run en-gb whilst not running the mod)
- Find mods folder in User data directory
- open the .zip (mod itself) and navigate to a folder called "basegame" which this folder is next to other files including info.json
- Copy
base&corefrom thebasegamefolder (If you have the DLC copy overelevated-rails,qualityandspace-ageas well) - Find your Factorio Application Directory
- go into the
datafolder - paste
- This should run, whenever this mod updates though I would recommend reinstalling to install en-gb updates if you use this way
