Is there a way to cheat power ?

Hello

So ive just imported my old (90hrs into) RSO/spaceX game into .15
It looks to be working. (without the mods) So i like to continue there :)

Problem is, im completely shafted for energy. 80% of my solar array is gone (i used modded mark 2 and 3 solars and accumulators)
And my few boilers are broken because of the new burners.

Sounds like a fun challenge to get Nuclear up, right ?
Well you would think so :) However ive upset the neighbours in the past somewhat (and i have a lot of em !)
Which i was keeping pacified with a liberate distribution of lazers :)

Since those are down, within 10 minutes they are crawling everywhere.

So is there a command to get them back online A.S.A.P ?

Easy and fast solution is to mod prototype files and give solar cell or steam engine a huge power output value. I recommend to make a copy of your factorio -folder and modify files of copied version.

More elegant solution is to write small mod which changes value instead of changing vanilla game files. There are much tutorials which show how to write a simple mod to change recipes or other properties.

Code: Select all

/c game.player.insert"electric-energy-interface"
It will give a cheat accumulator :)
