Recording as an Item, like the trailer

Hi everyone, very nice game, love it so much...

I'd like to know how to get the control of an entity or to not be my character to record stuff...

Exactly like the Factorio trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR01YdFtWFI

Is there a mod that I missed ? I've been trying to find with search, but I think I'm probably not using the right terms ?

Thanks a lot... !

Here is the mod they used: viewtopic.php?t=4273

Note that it is not supported on any version higher than 10.0.

Thanks a lot m8 !

All right then I'll need to continue searching somewhere if it's only working up to 0.10 :)

I'm a bit interested to this too, but how do you download that mod? The link just showed me another forum page without CSS. xD

So far, the best way I've found is to use the console to switch in GodMode, to do the recording I want... Then control back the character once done.

Be careful as it put your game as "can't achievement anymore"

Hit me up if you get more information ! :)

Use Creative Mode to switch to God Mode so you won't lose achievements (but no Steam achievements). :P

Don't save game after you done recording if you want to keep your achievements
