How do you reset if you see something to fox and want to restart after a small change ?

I do not see why resetting is so important. In any case it takes an hour or couple before a large factory develops steady production state after transition. But probably it is possible to clear all items in certain area with a command. At least all enemies or entities can be cleared.

But maybe it could give better starting point to competition or other comparison when factory begins from empty state. I do not resist new mode even I probably would never use it. I just thought that would it be possible to get something with self imposed rules. It is more flexible and fast way to test ideas than wait mods or changes in base game.

Example : you build during one hour, you kick the "start making things" button, and ... you realize you accidentally connected your sulfuric acid and water networks. Have fun redoing everything !

It's reset of items and liquids, not entities.

It looks like Space Chem, all production was programmed before.

It is part of the game. It happens also if you make a new production area and connect fluids when everything is ready. If you try to avoid it by connecting fluids early it needs one mistake in building to make a mess. But typically it needs couple of minutes to take away contaminated tubes and build news by bots. I hope that devs will give some easy ways to clean contaminated tube networks when they make final polishing for the game. Current rebuilding does not give any interesting element into the game. It is just lazy programming which leads to annoying situations.

bobucles Idea is great!

Even tho i lost all hope, maybe we can expand the idea anyway!
