Early bots to save my hands

The good news: I'm not sure I've ever loved a game as much as Factorio. The bad news: all this clicking is murder on my wrist tendinitis. I'm 200+ hours into my first playthrough because I'm pretty sure the early game won't be possible without my beloved bots.
So I'm looking for an early bots mod that will be as OP as possible, to save as much clicking as possible. I'm fine if it disables achievements, hopefully the intent is clear to be physically able to play the game rather than be cheaty.
I'm looking on the mod portal at Nanobots, Speedy Bot Start...any other recommendations? Ordinarily I'd just jump in and try a few but that means more clicking...ouch. Thanks all!

Open the console and paste this into it:
Code: Select all
/c
game.player.insert{name="power-armor-mk2", count = 1}
game.player.insert{name="fusion-reactor-equipment", count = 3}
game.player.insert{name="battery-mk2-equipment", count = 8}
game.player.insert{name="personal-roboport-mk2-equipment", count = 9}
game.player.insert{name="construction-robot", count = 225}
It gives you 9 mk2 roboports, 225 robots and the energy you need to use them.
Disables achievements, which you said is ok. And you don't need to click anything

I really like Construction Drones. They're pretty OP, such that the first personal bots you get aren't as good as they are. However, once you get some upgrades construction bots beat out drones.
I don't think I'd ever start a game again without day-one bots/drones/etc.

Open the console and paste this into it:
I'm biased towards my own mods:
Eradicator's /sudo
Spawns a preconfigured charged armor with roboports directly into the armor slot ;).
Gives you 200 construction robots.

Personally I find TinyStart ideal for this without being op - and it's configurable up to 2 Mk2 roboports.

Or maybe try
Kruise Kontrol which can make your character automatically build nearby ghosts. No bots involved - it just does the clicking for you. You still need to stand nearby etc as if you did it yourself.
