Factorio Mods vs Farming Simulator ModHub

Factorio Mods is the Mod Portal and in-game system for finding and managing mods for Factorio. The portal lets users search by title, internal name, summary, or username, then narrow results by categories and tags. Authors can upload mods, while users can access previous versions and discussion threads. In Factorio, the Mods menu handles downloading, installing, checking for updates, and enabling or disabling mods; it also obtains required dependencies.

When joining a modded multiplayer game, Factorio can download and enable the server's mods at their exact versions. Mods can change gameplay, for example by adding machines or informative GUIs. They are written in a modified version of Lua 5.2 and follow a required structure. The Mod Portal API supports browsing and downloading available mods, with basic endpoints that do not require authentication. Factorio runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and mods are distributed through the in-game manager. The listed plan is free. Uploading requires a licensed Factorio copy and a Factorio.com account; portal functionality requires a verified purchase.

Farming Simulator ModHub is a platform for user-generated content made with the GIANTS SDK. Its catalog covers two games and organizes mods into categories such as maps, gameplay, packages, vehicles, loaders, trailers, harvesting and placeables. Visitors can browse recent or top-downloaded items, prefabs and crossplay content, or use search. A crossplay filter is available for Farming Simulator 25 mods. Individual mod pages provide a download link and identify the filename, size, version and release date; some also list other mods that must be installed. Users can upload their own SDK-created content after registering with an email address and password, and the SDK includes an editor for creating and sharing content. ModHub is free, with featured and user-favourite items marked free. Platform availability depends on the mod: Vouilly Normandy lists PC/Mac, PS5 and XBS. User-created content remains its creators’ property, and GIANTS disclaims responsibility for that content and any damage it may cause.
