IMHO it's worth to play it at least once.
It was quite refreshing experience for me.
Just enable all technologies at the start and try to build rocket defence as fast as possible.
To enable all techs, paste this into game console:

Code: Select all

/c for n,t in pairs(game.player.force.technologies) do t.researched=true end

p.s. you don't need to craft research lab once you got electricity

I like this cheat code better.

Code: Select all

/c game.player.insert{name="rocket-defense", count=1}

Just a side note, we have

Code: Select all

/c game.player.force.researchalltechnologies()

Since we're busy killing the challenge here
/c game.alwaysday = true
/c game.peacefulmode = true
/c game.killallenemies()
/c game.player.force.manualminingspeedmodifier = 200
/c game.player.force.manualcraftingspeedmodifier = 200
/c game.speed = 3
/c game.player.force.researchalltechnologies()
/c game.players[1].insert{item=destroyer-capsules, count=1000,}

Well, you can always type:
game.setgamestate{gamefinished=true, playerwon=true}

But I think xecutor suggests something else. He talks about situation where you don't have to put up temporary facilities, you can go with your best layout from the start.

You got it right
It's not about cheating. It's about efficient and close to optimal development.
And you need to think a little different from your normal game.

Just a side note, we have

Code: Select all

/c game.player.force.researchalltechnologies()

Opps. Somehow I missed this, thanks

But you need temporary facilities. Can't craft Steel or Plastic so even with all technologies you will have to start with steam power and Stone Furnaces.

At that point you might as well skip the running Factorio.exe bit altogether. Just open a text editor and type in

Code: Select all

You have won Factorio. You are the master of all things. Congradulations of the highest honour are yours.

Of course you need facilities for steel, oil, plastic etc. But factory designed without research in mind is quite different from your regular factory.
You have robotics right off the bat. With maxed speed and cargo, so rushing for robots might be a viable option. Or might be not. Try it!
