ExpGaming Scenario Repository
Explosive Gaming
Explosive Gaming (often ExpGaming) is a server hosting community with a strong focus on Factorio and games with similar themes. We are best known for our weekly reset Factorio server with a vanilla+ scenario. Although our servers tend to attract the more experienced players, our servers are open to everyone. You can find us through our website, discord, or the public server list with the name ExpGaming.
Use and Installation

Download our git repository for the stable release. For the latest features you can download our dev branch. See releases for other major releases.
-
Extract the downloaded zip file into your Factorio scenario directory:
- Windows:
%appdata%\Factorio\scenarios - Linux:
~/.factorio/scenarios
- Windows:
-
Within the scenario you can find
./config/_file_loader.luawhich contains a list of all the modules which will be loaded by the scenario. Comment out (or remove) features you do not want. Be aware modules may load other modules as dependencies even when removed from the list. -
More advanced users can adjust other configs files within
./configbut please be aware some files will require a basic understanding of lua. -
Once you have made your config changes: open Factorio, select either single or multiplayer, select (host) new game, and finally select our scenario which will be called
scenario-masterorscenario-devunder user scenarios. -
You will now be asked to generate your map and the scenario will load all selected modules. If any module does not load as expected please check
factorio-current.login your Factorio directory for errors and report them to our issues page.
