What's the CFAN?

CFAN mod manager for Factorio

The CFAN is a metadata respository and associated tools to allow you to find, install, and manage mods for Factorio. It provides strong assurances that mods are installed in the way prescribed by their metadata files, for the correct version of Factorio, alongside their dependencies, and without any conflicting mods.

Unfortunately, currently factorio's API doesn't return dependencies field. CFAN stopped automatically installing dependencies.

CFAN is great for players and for authors:

The CKAN, which CFAN is fork of, has been inspired by the solid and proven metadata formats from both the Debian project and the CPAN, each of which manages tens of thousands of packages.

What's the status of the CFAN?

The CFAN is currently under active development. I very much welcome contributions, discussions, and especially pull-requests.

The CFAN spec

Currently it's undocumented.

CFAN for players

CFAN can download, install and update mods in just a few clicks. See the User guide to get started with CFAN.

CFAN for modders

If you are an author, the easiest way to make sure your mod has current version on CFAN is to upload it to factoriomods.com.

Check out the page about adding a mod to the CFAN on the wiki

Helping the development

The CFAN client is a C# application that targets Mono 4.2, and therefore it runs natively on all the major platforms
