1) Sandbox Items- This will be an item, about the size of a burner mining drill, and will spawn in items of your choosing via the GUI. However, it will only spawn one type of item. There may be multiple types, of varying spawn rates. The items will be outputted the same way mining drills do, through one side.
CURRENTLY CHANGED TO BE AN ASSEMBLING MACHINE WITH SPEED OF 999, IT MUST BE CONNECTED TO A POWER UNIT, BUT DRAWS NO POWER
2) Sandbox Power- This will be a small generator thing that I will expect to be low cost, nothing will be needed to have it run, and I am hoping to have a range of something like 100.
3) Sandbox Ghost- A GUI button to turn off 'ghost mode'

Sandbox Items- Being worked on!

Sandbox Power- Not being worked on yet, I'll start work after I finish Sandbox Items

Thank you to Lumikins, https://forums.factorio.com/forum/mem ... ile&u=3727, for providing me with the solution to toggling 'ghost' mode!

Just extract the contained SandboxUnits folder into the mods folder, NO PER-REQUISITES!

[quote="dante123113"]I have no clue how to even begin to get the "ghost mode" toggle to function, maybe I'll try another day, sorry![/quote]You can enter god mod by setting game.player.character to nil (of course, if you want to switch back you'd want to save that variable elsewhere first, probably in the glob...). As for ghost mode (The difference being that the 'ghost' can't actually interact, just move!), you'd have to use the (real) method game.player.setcontroller({type=defines.controller.ghost}) (huh, for some reason that wasn't listed on the wiki, I had to go through the forum and find one of my old posts to confirm that it does actually exist, well and test it in Factorio lol).

Oh, and to go back into the regular "character" based mode you can just assign a player lua/entity (like the one you saved before right?) back to game.player.character (or use the more verbose game.player.setcontroller({type=defines.controller.character, character=your_player_entity}), but I've never actually seen anyone use that method )

I would imagine you'd just switch between character and god (what most people when when they say ghost) which means you wouldn't need to use setcontroller

P.S. your spoiler tag isn't actually working (it doesn't have a 'title' after the '=', be careful because sometimes characters in the title aren't recognized and it breaks lol)

edit: updated wiki with setcontroller and read a post in that old topic I found that reminded me that switching to god mode (and vice versa) doesn't transfer the inventories (you'd have to do so manually, probably with insert and game.player.getinventory(defines.inventory...).getcontents(), though there are a few items which can't be "copied" in that manner, like blueprints and modular armor, oh and you lose health information since you can check what it is before inserting (though you could set it while inserting lol)). Assuming of course that you'd want the old inventory.

[quote="FreeER"][quote="FreeER"] Glad you found it helpful [/quote]
[/quote] Thank you, I fixed the spoiler, didn't realize I needed a title! I'll try the things you suggested, and thank you for replying!
BTW, looks like spoilers inside of spoilers don't work. That sucks, it would be cool though!
