Before 2.0 there was some hidden interaction with control settings that allowed you to drag and rapid fire nests manually.

Now it's gone, but also nests received huge buff to their health so that they are dying in 2 hits, taking double the clicks.

It shouldn't be a macro it should be in a base.

Or just expand your defense perimeter and research so they operate automatically? Factorio doesn't optimize manual actions when they can be automated.

You can rebind "use item" to "ctrl + mouse wheel up" , then when you have an artillery remote in hand, you can use the hotkey to spam artillery

Eh, that's the creation of things to automate things. And the belt dragging logic is needed for dragging ghosts too so it's already there.

Fucking THIS, not the pseudo-hardcorness of not optimizing tasks that ""should"" be automatic, I just wanna shoot artillery and hear shots and explosions.

The guy above posted a good suggestion about changing SECONDARY keybind to CTRL+SCROLLWHEEL, but it's still the same kind of non-intuitive and jank as before, as the mouse macro.

I think the guy who posted agaisnt this just never did it in game.
