Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

General Questions

What is PirateSeal's QoL Modpack?

This is a carefully curated collection of Quality of Life mods for Factorio 2.0 that enhances gameplay without changing core mechanics. It's a zero-code dependency pack that automatically installs handpicked QoL mods.

Is this modpack compatible with Factorio 2.0?

Yes! This modpack is specifically designed for Factorio 2.0 and all included mods are fully compatible with the latest version.

Will this modpack affect my achievements?

Yes, like all modpacks, using this will disable Steam achievements. However, the mods included are focused on quality of life improvements rather than game-breaking changes.

Installation & Setup

How do I install this modpack?

1. Download the modpack from the Factorio Mod Portal
2. Place it in your Factorio mods folder
3. Enable the modpack in-game
4. All dependencies will be automatically downloaded and installed

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Factorio\mods\
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/factorio/mods/

Do I need to install each mod individually?

Can I use this modpack with existing saves?

Yes, you can add this modpack to existing saves. However, always backup your save files before adding new mods.

Compatibility & Issues

Is this modpack compatible with other mods?

The included mods are generally compatible with most other Factorio mods. However, conflicts may occur with mods that modify similar systems. Test compatibility in a separate save first.

What if one of the included mods has an issue?

Since this is a dependency-only modpack, issues are typically related to individual mods. Check the specific mod's page on the Factorio Mod Portal for updates or bug reports.

Can I disable specific mods from this pack?

Yes! After the modpack installs all dependencies, you can disable individual mods you don't want while keeping the others active.

The modpack won't enable - what's wrong?

Check that:
- You're running Factorio 2.0 or later
- You have sufficient disk space for all dependencies
- Your internet connection is stable (for downloading dependencies)
- No conflicting mods are already installed

Mod-Specific Questions

What does "zero-code" mean?

This modpack doesn't contain any code itself - it's purely a dependency pack that tells Factorio which QoL mods to install automatically.

Can I suggest mods to be added?

While this is a curated collection, feedback is welcome! However, new mods must meet the criteria of being quality-of-life focused without altering core game balance.

Updates & Maintenance

How often is this modpack updated?

The modpack is updated when significant improvements are made to included mods or when new essential QoL mods are discovered.

Will my saves work after updates?

Generally yes, but always backup saves before updating any mods. Check the changelog for any breaking changes.

How do I update the modpack?

Simply update it through the Factorio Mod Portal like any other mod. Dependencies will be updated automatically.
