How to make it work

This mod cannot include the music files, so you need to copy or link them yourself from your Factorio install:

Linux

  1. After downloading it, unzip this mod's zip file.
  2. From the root folder of this mod, create a symlink to the space-age music folder: (Replace <factorio folder> with the path to your factorio folder)
    rm -r space-age-sound-ambient-folder && ln -s <factorio folder>/data/space-age/sound/ambient space-age-sound-ambient-folder
  3. (PS: You do not need to re-zip the mod)

Windows

  1. After downloading it, unzip this mod's zip file.
  2. Copy the entire contents of the <factorio folder>/data/space-age/sound/ambient folder into this mod's space-age-sound-ambient-folder folder.
  3. (PS: You do not need to re-zip the mod)

What the mod does

This lets you enjoy the Space Age soundtrack right here on Nauvis, and without the "space-age" mod enabled. Great for overhaul mods like Pyanodons.

More specifically, this does 3 things:

  • Recreates the music track definitions for all tracks from Space Age.
  • Adds all tracks in the game into a single tracklist that is used for every location (Including tracks from other mods).
  • Re-enables the "interlude" system of the base game, which is unused in Space Age due to some locations not having enough interlude songs (Which is not a problem when all the songs are in a single tracklist).

In total the tracklist consists of 62 main tracks and 27 interludes. Interludes always play in-between main tracks.

Pro-tip: Add a keyboard shortcut for the "play next track" command!


This is my own implementation of World Wide Music, which sadly stopped working after 2.0.59. Thank you for the inspiration.
