What's the CFAN?

The CFAN is a metadata respository and associated tools to allow you to find, install, and manage mods for Factorio. It provides 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.

CFAN is the first mod manager designed to fit the needs of modders as well those of the players:

  • it provides players with an easy-to-use tool that can find, install and update mods automatically, without worrying about missing files or misreading the installation instructions;
  • modders can support CFAN without having to change their workflow and distribution method: in fact, you will only need to upload files to factoriomods.com.
