Hey,

if you could add a Readme.md with a "how to install" that would be great :)

For Windows Steam:

[CMD] + [R] then write %appdata%/Factorio/
In the folder scenarios comes the unzipped ZIP.
In the control.lua you determine which map should be loaded.
Then you start the game and select the scenario.
If you started the scenario, you can save it, now there is a new ZIP in the saves folder.

Or, if you don´t like editing text files, download one of the named releases and just launch it right away as a scenario.

A feedback, if the installation worked, would be nice? To enjoy the scenario with others, the operation of a headless server is recommended.

Is there any way to generate the save file using the command line instead of the Client? Seems that when I try from the command line, the center of the map is generated prior to the scenario loading using defaults. Tried both using the --map2scenario scenario option and the --start-server-load-scenario scenario option.

@klugemonkey I do not understand yet where the problem is. The start coordinates are x=0, y=0. I recommend to test it with the ComfyFactorio/maps/empty_map.lua.
