From Factorio Mod Portal

Adds English, GB (en-gb) to the game as a seperate, selectable language, Some mods are supported with: mods-en-gb


#IMPORTANT! If you still want achievements on steam please install through the method that doesn't require running the mod #Important Summary (ish)

  • This mod doesn't overwrite the existing en locale and instead uses a different unsupported locale en-gb
  • Mod support is on a separate mod called mods-en-gb
  • Includes Space Age, Quality and Elevated Rails DLC support inside as of version mod 0.2.0

#Using on Factorio 2.1+ with en-gb 0.3.1+

  • It is now possible in Factorio to load this mod and be able to select this Language as normal on the vanilla language selection screen
  • If you still want vanilla achievements for steam with an unsupported language like this one, you are suggested to follow "via complete install" in Depricated

#More info: Inspired but not a derivative of https://mods.factorio.com/mod/BritishEnglishLocale but the thumbnail.png is from there with file editing you may corrupt your game even though I wouldnt want it to currupt on your side, I do not take responsibility


#Depricated Steps but still useful


#How to Install (because of how the game manages unsupported languages) ##via editing config.ini but when you switch language once you'll have to do again

  • Find config.ini in User data directory
  • Head to section [general] and put the setting as: locale=en-gb as seen in the image

##via adding a dedicated selector for en-gb

  • Find mods folder in User data directory
  • open the .zip (mod itself) and navigate to a folder called "basegame" which this folder is next to other files including info.json
  • Navigate down it through basegame -> core -> locale -> en-gb -> info.json & copy this file
  • Find your Factorio Application Directory
  • navigate down data -> core -> locale & make a folder en-gb, in this folder paste the file you copied
  • when you boot up the game it should now be select-able, this should not override unless you change your game install location

##via complete install (with this you can actually run en-gb whilst not running the mod)

  • Find mods folder in User data directory
  • open the .zip (mod itself) and navigate to a folder called "basegame" which this folder is next to other files including info.json
  • Copy base & core from the basegame folder (If you have the DLC copy over elevated-rails , quality and space-age as well)
  • Find your Factorio Application Directory
  • go into the data folder
  • paste
  • This should run, whenever this mod updates though I would recommend reinstalling to install en-gb updates if you use this way
