Looking for a magical chest mod

Post by mrt144 »

Basically I want a chest that creates a steady supply of iron ore/copper ore/coal/stone/water/oil and a reciprocal chest destroys whatever enters.

I want to test ideas without having to build mining infrastructure and while i know infinte ores exists...i want even simpler. Something that just provides resource signal.

This is in the base game already. Search for "infinity chest".

Factorio includes hidden entities producing or removing items, fluids, power and heat.
Creative Items makes them available in normal games.
If you only want to remove items without feeling too cheaty try Void Chest + and Flare Stack.

One console command is enough
/c game.player.insert{name=item_name, count=1}

Don't do that in a game where you want achievements, though:)
the commands:
/c game.player.insert{name="infinity-chest", count=1}
/c game.player.insert{name=infinity-pipe, count=1}

Is this code right too?

Code: Select all

/c game.player.insert{{name="infinity-chest", count=1}, {name=infinity-pipe, count=1}}

Nope.
this one will insert a stack of each:
/c game.player.insert "infinity-chest" ; game.player.insert "infinity-pipe"
if you want a precise item count, this:
/c game.player.insert{name="infinity-chest", count = 20} ; game.player.insert{name="infinity-pipe", count= 20}

I definitely don't care about that at this point. I seriously just want to test things modularly without having to muck up a real game so when I finally get around to doing something real I can skip doinking around with efficiency ideas that start to overwhelm me and get in the way of actually building ;)

I did jsut discover that modules and beacons feels like cheating for the purpose of the 1000 SPM challenge, like...I get it because of UPS but just testing out a pretty basic Red Beaker modularly designed factory that thing was pumping out 350/SPM over 10 minute load with full prod 3 modules and 8 beaconed speed 3 modules at every step of production from smelt to train load . I was like...ummmm....that's kind of gross. I'll see how it goes with the next one.

FWIW I did use the method suggested and it is perfect for my purposes.

The 'city block' thing got me thinking about how maybe i need some kinda organizing mechanism to keep me on track and now I feel like I'm desiging little microchips with specific purposes. I dig it!
