Factorio Mod Manager
What Factorio Mod Manager is
Factorio Mod Manager is a free native macOS application for organizing mods in Factorio 2.1, 2.0, and 1.1. It searches the Factorio mod portal and individual authors’ mods, with bulk installation and built-in access to mod sources. Each mod page can show Markdown descriptions, version history, and screenshots. The manager calculates required, recommended, and optional dependencies and identifies conflicts. You can keep separate mod profiles, switch between them without downloading files again, and import or export profiles as JSON or link lists. Installed mods can be checked for updates, with version changes displayed. Downloads use a cloud mirror, so a factorio.com login and password are not required. The interface supports Russian and English, switchable from the toolbar. It detects installed Factorio versions and supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. macOS 13.0 or newer is required. A ZIP release contains FMM.app, and macOS may warn that it is unsigned on first launch.
