Audio Formats?
Audio Formats?
Just wanted to ask which audio formats for sound effects are valid. I looked at the base mod and could only see .OGG files. now I wanted to know if other formats are allowed too and if yes which formats
I'm currently working on a tool that will allow everyone to create mods for Factorio without having to learn any of the complicated stuff.

Re: Audio Formats?
I recommend using OGG as audio format for modding purposes.
OGG has the big advantage that it can have the same quality as a high quality MP3 file while OGG uses a way smaller bitrate.

Re: Audio Formats?
Seems like this shows up in some search results and I just documented this, so here is the answer:
Support sound file formats are .ogg, .wav and .voc.
Support sound file formats are .ogg, .wav and .voc.

In the meantime we dropped support for .voc.

Re: Audio Formats?
Thanks, I start from play_sound of runtime doc, then realize I needed to add my audio file in data stage. Since `play_sound` need a `path` I was using `__mymod__` directly and the game just quitBilka wrote: Tue Jun 03, 2025 5:01 pm On the sound type: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/typ ... l#filename
. Then I define my sound in data.lua but I didn't expect filename doc would contain the file supported format, I was searching at the top of sound doc, wiki or in concept or auxiliary topic. My source audio file are in mp3 but I was expecting it would not be supported and.... never ever hear about .voc
