Scenarios in Factorio are special scripts or modifications that change the way the game is played. They are used to create unique challenges or alter the standard rules of the game, offering players new experiences. For example, a scenario might introduce various objectives to accomplish, change the way players interact with the environment, or impose certain time constraints. In this guide, you will learn how to step by step change the scenario on your Factorio server.
