Factorio Forums

short version: i basically need to replace 4k+ instances of one object within my factorio with another (yes it's a mod compatibility thing). I don't care if it's robots replacing them or some kind of savegame-editor, as long as it gets the job done. i'm deeply grateful for any help in advance.

Did you take a look on how migration .json files work? They would be perfect for this.

Upgrade planner can also help you do this. https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Klonan/upgrade-planner

i looked at that, but it won't let me assign upgrades unless the items are "of the same type". and even though my items in question are two electric poles, it doesn't seem to recognize them as same type since they're from two different mods.
