Clear Map

Hi everyone,
I'm at the point of wanting to redesign my initial factory (I'm just about to start blue science production and need a better layout).
Is there a command I can type in that will just remove all entities I have placed down in game (I know that's a big drastic but I'm OK with it).
As long as I'm still at the same level of science research I don't mind starting again, I can hopefully but some better thought into the layout then.
Thanks,
Zenith

Code: Select all
local s = game.local_player.surface
for chunk in s.get_chunks() do
entities = s.find_entities_filtered{area={{chunk.x*32, chunk.y*32}, {chunk.x*32+32, chunk.y*32+32}}, force=game.local_player.force}
for _, v in pairs(entities) do
if v.type ~= "player" then
v.destroy()
end
end
end

you can get the seed (IIRC) and map settings and then regenerate

That way you'd lose all your current research progress.

Thanks prg I'll give this a go when I can and let you know.
Yes, you're quite correct I could regenerate or simply start again but I wanted to continue from where I left of with my existing research. Basically, I want to collect a bunch of the core resources up, then remove any items I've placed down so I can start fresh
Cheers

Hi prg,
I tested this on a backup of my save and it didn't do anything. I stood in the middle of my factory with assembly machines and belts around me (within a couple of tiles) and run the command and nothing happened. Any ideas?
Thanks
Zenith

You need to use /c [stuff] to run commands since 0.11, did you just send it as a chat message?

not sure, I thought I did /c because that's what I've done with other commands, but I'll admit I'm coming back to factorio after quite a break from it so probably my fault. I'll test it again now and let you know

My apologies PRG this works perfectly and has removed all the furnaces etc.
The only issue I have now is that it's left behind things that were on the belts, they are now all just lying on the floor.
Is there a command to remove these as well (i'm going to go searching the forum at the same time as posting this, will update if I find anything)
Thanks,
zenith

v.destroy()
end
end
end
This kind of did what I wanted, it basically cleared out everything so I just have a blank map. It also cleared out the ore spawn and oil and everything but that's fine as I can just cheat to put some of that back in

Add name="item-on-ground" to the find_entities_filtered call.
