Hi,

Trees are the worst enemy in this game.....

Is there a console command to delete trees within a specific radius? Or a mod? Or some really easy way that doesn't involve robots/capsules/any effort on my part?

There is a mod called explosive termites.

/c for _,entity in pairs(game.local_player.surface.find_entities_filtered{area={{game.local_player.position.x-100, game.local_player.position.y-100}, {game.local_player.position.x+100, game.local_player.position.y+100}}, name="Tree 7"}) do entity.destroy() end

Replace "Tree 7" by the name of the tree kind you want to delete (hover mouse over it, it appears in the right of the screen)
Do this for any kind of tree you have around.
Clears a square of 200x200 tiles centered on you.

I suggest instead of name="Tree 7" use type="tree", that will get all the trees and not just specific ones.

This is the topic I wanted to post this :

But well ...

Amazing thank you! Just what I was looking for.

@orzelek Thanks for the mod link. I had come across that one and considered it but it just doesn't sit well with me on the lore front. I know I'm a hypocrite as I'm cheating but if you're going to cheat, may as well do it properly! After a couple of hundred hours on a map I don't want clearing goddamn trees to be the thing that stops me playing. =)

Sorry for bad english
So, there is no working console command to delete ALL trees in Factorio 0.13.xx on internet that i could find. After some searching and testing subject, finally i found it This command delete all types of trees (not only one or two) in all of discovered area.

Code: Select all

/c local surface = game.player.surface
for c in surface.get_chunks() do
for key, entity in pairs(surface.find_entities_filtered({area={{c.x * 32, c.y * 32}, {c.x * 32 + 32, c.y * 32 + 32}}, type= "tree"})) do
entity.destroy()
end
end

This command delete all types of trees (not only one or two) in all of discovered area.

Works fine. Thank you.

Cluster grenades are your friend (but not once the pin is pulled). Invented by Star$s to make instant coffee stirrers out of 3.14159 hectares of forest...

THe FARL mod is also your friend! Drive through a forest and turn it into lovely fuel so that your train can... drive through more forest!

If you want to only delete trees in a given area from your character, use That will clear a 64x64 area centered on you. You can make the area smaller by decreasing the 32's to a lower number, or increase to a higher number.
