you can use like this:

\App\Models\User::factory()->count(2)->create();

just write the namespace of the model you want to use

You can override the newFactory method on this model:

/**
 * Create a new factory instance for the model.
 *
 * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory
 */
protected static function newFactory()
{
    return \Modules\Menu\Database\Factories\MenuFactory::new();
}

Or you can look into the documentation to see how to adjust how the factory is looked up based on the model.
