play in a single world, all contributing to the completion of the seed.
1. Acquire the Archipelago mod for this seed. It should be named `AP_*.zip`, where `*` is the seed number.
2. Copy the mod file into your Factorio `mods` folder, which by default is located at:
`C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\mods`

hosting your own. This includes cases where more than one person is playing Factorio, but
all on separate worlds.
