Tips and Tricks item for "Open Factoriopedia"
Posted: Tue Aug 25, 2026 4:48 pm
TL;DR
A Tips and Tricks item in the "base" mod to show opening Factoriopedia using the keybind while hovering an object.What?
This new entry in Tips and Tricks would be at the top level below "Entity pipette" and "Additional info (Alt-mode)".The simulation would have a few different types of buildings on the board, and the player cursor should hover each of them in turn and "Open Factoriopedia" to display the differing examples of information in their respective pages:
- A recipe or item from the character inventory
- A furnace
- A lab
- An inserter
- A gun
- A module
- A beacon
- A vehicle
- An enemy nest
Why?
The only place that Factoriopedia is referenced from Tips and Tricks is the "Quality factoriopedia" item if you have the Space Age DLC.A lot of new players may miss this feature if they haven't followed the FFFs, or they might see the Factoriopedia button in the side menu, but not realise that there is a keybind to open it from the world.
