Idea: Robot platform. Built from engines, cogs, and steel, and circuits. Armor + platform + weapon produces the specific bot.

Could you elaborate a bit more on what you are trying to achieve? This: https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Mylon/Bluebuild Auto-demo would be trivial if I could do player.mine(target). Instead I have to get the mined_item, the item inventory, if type = "item-entity" I need to get the item too...

The API to simulate mining exists, but it's a lot more effort than it's worth. I've already partially recreated it but I've run into some bugs with my implementation. items on ground are not mined. So mined products, pickup products, and inventory all must be handled separately. Sounds have to be ca...

Some features I'd like: * Victory turrets. After clearing a nest, either a new robot (turret placement robot) or any particular robot converts into a turret to stay behind and kill any other creeps that try to reestablish the base. This automates holding territory instead of perpetually clearing the...

Can you merge chemical processing plant with electrolyzer? They both do functionally the same thing: take input pipes and send outputs pipes. Like assemblers, chemical plants are pretty generic and should be interchangeable. Finding out I crafted or placed the wrong plant is annoying and it's one mo...

Handyhands only automatically crafts stuff for you. You already can already queue up an hour worth of handcrafting if you really wanted to. Handy Hands just saves you that planning step. Still, inserters can be made faster than the gears they're made out of. Which seems kinda silly and it reduces th...

I couldn't wait for low level personal robots, so I made this: https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Mylon/Bluebuild

Let us call the function to act as if one entity just mined another, including the transfer of inventory, transfer of mining products, etc.

(Preface: all of this applies before blueprints are used) All of the inserters craft nearly instantly. With a mod like HandyHands, there really is no need to make an inserter production chain for building. Also, a single assembly plant 2 assembler can sustain building for a good long while. Maybe th...

Yay patch! <3

Back to Multiplayer we go!

One train car is about equal to a steel chest.

Trains feel inferior to upgraded conveyor belts.

Can you make Radarplus for RSO (or something similar) a default feature of RSO? Radars need a huge buff to be viable.

Also I remember seeing somewhere a mod to place rails quickly. That also would be super handy for this.
