TL;DR

Option to draw things on Map ( other things than MapMarkers )
Box, Circle, Line, Triangle etc.

What ?

You can create objects like Circle / Box / Line / Triangle etc. on Map
so You can draw Your factory on map and You can plan everything better
There should be also ALT Mode so u can see everything in "Game View" - because normaly u draw on map and see everything on Map only

Why ?

Because Factorio is about Production right?...
Sure... You can build BUS 4 and dont f* care about everything but... BUS 4 is rly poor strategy...
Actualy whole BUS Strategy is... well... trash xD at least not good for MASS PRODUCTION

and i care about MASS Production :3... more and more resources burned every second <3

For that u need HUGE and very good organized Factory...
ur factory should also looks rly cool and amazing <3

And by "Cool" i mean as smallest and fastest its possible <3 Factorio have many mods that help You with building Huge Factories and im using them...
But there is no MOD or i don't know mod that allows You to draw on Map...

Here is example of rly cool mod: Factory Planner Factorio need more stuff like Factory Planner :c...

So... fCAD is like AutoCAD...
but for Factorio

You can use Map View to draw and plan Your factory much better...
At this moment im using some Blueprint books like for example:
But You can't draw on Map with Blueprints... i can use Circle Book to place Ghosts and see how Circle should look like
However if You want Triangle or Line... its much harder than Circles or Boxes

Things like this are not very easy to build without designed tools for that :c... ( its Old Map - but i wanted to show example "WHY" xD ) and if You look closely... i failed... Because Human eye is... just an Eye
