Failing to load map setting [Linux]

[notaduck]

Hi guys. I'm trying to setup a Factorio server on a CentOS 7 System. But it doesn't like when I try to specify a map-settings-file when I'm trying to generate a new game.
So if you have any idea what is going wrong here plz let me know!

Uh... did you somehow end up with a directory that happens to be named something like --map-gen-settings_1.2.3 in the mods directory that happens to contain an info.json that's not completely empty but is missing the version key?

Your map-gen-settings.json file looks fine, since it's an exact copy of the example file. But for some reason Factorio tries to load your map-gen-settings file as a mod, which is very strange.

Check that your data directory only contains two folders, base and core. Anything else in that directory should be files with .txt or .json ending. I suspect you accidentally created a folder named --map-gen-settings in there and Factorio tries to load it as a mod. If that folder is fine then check that your mod folder is empty or only contains valid mods and the mod-list.json file.

If you still can't get it to work then post the ls -la output of your mods and data directory.

I actually somehow ended up creating a --map-gen-settings file in the data folder
Thanks for the quick response to both of you!
