Factorio Forums

After playing factorio for more than 300 hours without having launched a single rocket I got bored because of the ongoing manual placements of items.

I want to start over again and am looking for a kind of all enabled mode where all research is done and I can quickly start with building using blueprints and robots.

Anyone good ideas for mods or add-ons that can enable this ?

It would also be usefull to have an option to add items to the inventory without having to produce them ...

Mods: "Creative Mode" or similar.
Built-In: Play -> Scenario -> Sandbox
Existing Map: "/editor" command

Console commands will let you do that.

specifically this one to research all tech:
/c game.player.force.research_all_technologies()

and this one that lets you create items for free:
/c game.player.cheat_mode=true

Ever since they were streamlined to act as if you had a free, personal roboport at all times, I've fallen absolutely in love with Construction Drones.
