Hi!

Now that Factorio 0.17 has a pretty robust map editor, do we still need the mods that allow players to create items out of thin air?

Here I listed some creative mode mod features that I know of:
Summon items? Buildings? Check!
Research any technology? Check!
Infinite item source/sink? Check!
Infinite electricity? Check!
Infinite fluid source/sink? Check!
Instant mining/crafting? Check!
The map editor basically allows the level of experimenting we used to use creative mode mods and scenarios (such as mine) for. So is there any more need for them?
Is there anything the map editor didn't cover?

Thanks.

Creative mod still has many settings the editor doesn't cover.
