Nice. I can't test it in-game yet, but from the code, one suggestion: a value of "default" is nice to have, which just gives whatever you have in the base game. If one of those kits matches that, renaming it to be obvious that "this is what you start with" instead.

Thanks for the advice, I will include it in the next update together with some improvements in quickbar.

I have problem with this mod.
Factorio version: 0.17.63 (linux)
Mod version: 1.1.0

In game UPS raises to 180 instead of basic 60, so game speed raises. Its very uncomfortable to play with that speed

Hi! Did you try slowing down the game? The mod sets the speed to 3, try lowering it to 1 which is the default speed. To do this you have to modify line 7 of globals.lua. I will also be uploading a new version where through the guide you can configure the speed with which you want the game to begin. In your case, being a game already started you should modify the globals.lua file as indicated above. Please let me know if it works.

Hi everyone!

v1.2.0 is released. It includes a Game Speed selector to the gui.

Any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks and enjoy!

The GitHub Link still (or again?) leads to a 404 error page.
However I found this: https://github.com/yanbec/factorio-starter-pack
Is this you or a fork?

Also according to the source code, the medium kit and onwards should contain personal roboports in the armor. For me at least this is not the case as I start empty. This might be a mod incompatibility though and I therefore attached my modlist: EDIT: I just tired without any other mods and the inventory grid of the armor is still epmty.
