Factorio Forums

Imagine if you could see the factoriopedia without needing to load into a save.

It would make modding and mod management so much easier.
When I made my first mod I needed to check about 10 times to see if my mod actually worked at changing a recipe, before it finally worked.

The “proper” way to confirm that your Data updates have taken effect during Mod development is to use the --dump-data Command Line Parameter. This is slightly faster than starting-up the entire Game each time you make a change; although the resulting JSON file is a little big for casual perusal.

Good Luck!
