Automatically upgrade belts/splitters/undergroundies?

[jasonwhitener]

I tried this mod, https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Mylon/BeltUpgrader , but it crashed the game. An earlier version of it worked, but it only seemed to do the belts and nothing else.

Is there another mod or technique for upgrading all belts/splitters/undergrounds to blue? I'm trying to find ways to minimize mouse clicks, due to hand/wrist issues.

thanks,
Jason

I'm on mobile so I can't check but look for something with "upgrade planner" in the name.

Thanks, I'll check that out.

It won't show up if you search "upgrade planner".

upgrade planner is soooo much better than beltupgrader. The latter requires the bots to remove all the materials on the belts first and it shuts your factory down step by step. Klonan's works instantly with the stuff in your inventory so just set up auto-trash to get rid of the old stuff. He also added a blueprint changer so you can change entities on existing blueprints.

Add another recommendation for Upgrade Planner, it's very very well done. It feels a little like cheating how easy it makes doing upgrades, but it's so worth it to me.

Is upgrade planner working with the latest 0.15.9 beta? Using steam, I just usually set the beta to the highest level. I couldn't find any version requirements for upgrade planner. Is there a page that tells us which version of factorio matches a version of upgrade planner?

I am not sure if it is version conflict or if I don't know how to use upgrade planner yet, but it does nothing for me. I create a new planner and tell it something simple, like yellow belts to red belts. I give it a name and save it, then craft the yellow block. Selecting a few red belts, with a roboport in range, and nothing happens.

You must also create an "upgrade planner blueprint" and then highlight an area of your factory that you want upgraded.

Thanks. I got it working now and it is exactly what I needed. My wrists and hands thank all of you.

I know it is kind'of' "cheating", but people with disabilities sure appreciate it. Thanks again. The factorio community rocks.

It is kind of cheating, and there is a fun twitch-factor to mass upgrading a complex system of belts, splitters and undergrounds. I'd say it's fun for the first 1000 tiles, and a semi-enjoyable skill-building chore for maybe 10,000 tiles. Beyond that, if you are still enjoying it, I think you might have a dopamine imbalance of some kind.

This mod is not complete. But you can upgrade belts with one click.

You can test this mod, but make backup before.
