You still probably also want to use load/save for running segments.
#Factorio radar mod#
Strategically placing radar + creative mod electrical energy source (the last tab on crafting when using creative mod) + 1 power pole allows you to use map mode (m) when editing everything. With all the cloned areas, it can be difficult to manage them on one map unless you use the console zoom out. I use /c =0.1 to zoom out when managing all of this. In general, I find having all three very useful as they all have different benefits (/editor, CM, editor extensions) These can be used when working in reverse from a goal, to get a sense of end run scale of certain speed running puzzles.Įditor extensions is another good mod, and has speed inserters which are useful. It also has useful loaders (dupe chest + super loader). Switching between instant blueprint and turning it off when experimenting with bots is useful. I use the lab tile over a large swath of chunks to do this.Ĭreative mode also has useful cheats (icon -> cheats -> team/personal cheats), such as resetting technology and instant research to switch to different phases of the tech tree. You can also place different factories on the same map to keep different ideas organized. Without clone, this is near impossible to manage because you are constantly refactoring blueprints early on which can't be done through the blueprint interface. Each has an incremental copy of the blueprint that get applied in sequence in order to be optimal for bots. This technique works especially well for runs with imported blueprint layouts.įor example, I'm working on rocket rush and I have about 12 copies of the set of ore patches / water I'll be building around. Also, you need to factor in what you'll have in chests / belts / inventory. Obviously important to keep in mind what you'll have available for layout at that point in the run. Using the creative mod is good as well as it provides so many useful tools for experimenting and editing. One in particular is really heavily useful, and it's hard to imagine not using it for designing a run and that is the clone tool in /editor.īy using clone, you can copy / paste areas of a map and this allows you to segment your runs when designing the layout and keep it all together one map.

If there are mods or techniques you use, please share!Ĭonsole commands below are accessed via using tilde ~ You can learn more about them here. In order to cut down on notifications, I'll periodically edit this post with a timestamp rather than adding message if I come up with new ideas. I thought I'd share some useful tips here for designing a speedrun.
