Changelog

Version: 0.3.3
Date: 2026-09-26
  Info:
    - First release of the Factorio 2.0 rewrite on the mod portal. The mod is no longer deprecated.

Version: 0.3.2
Date: 2026-09-26
  Graphics:
    - New icons built on Factorio's own item-request marker: the tool and the shortcut both show it on a square of blueprint paper, the shortcut on the blue button style vanilla uses for its blueprint shortcuts.
    - New thumbnail: BP inside Factorio's item-request marker, on blueprint paper.

Version: 0.3.1
Date: 2026-09-26
  Features:
    - Drag the primer tool over a row of machines of one kind to prime them all at once. The window reads "Prime 6 × Stone furnace", shows what robots will bring for the whole group, and Request tops up and fuels each machine on its own numbers.
    - After such a drag, Blueprint takes the whole dragged area, belts and inserters included, with every machine of that kind primed.
  Changes:
    - Only machines light up while dragging the primer tool.
    - A drag over mixed kinds primes the kind nearest the middle, outlines those machines, marks the skipped ones in red, and says so.

Version: 0.3.0
Date: 2026-09-26
  Features:
    - Copying or blueprinting a primed built machine keeps its priming. Vanilla carried only fuel still waiting for robots; the copy now gets the full ingredient amounts and fuel, as long as the source's ingredients have not all arrived yet.
    - Shift+click settings paste copies priming. Pasting from a primed machine gives the destination the same recipe, craft count and fuel, topped up for what it already holds and with its own fuel estimate.
    - Unresearched recipes can be picked. The recipe picker shows them on a red slot, and a chosen one carries vanilla's "not unlocked" sign; Blueprint always works, and Request works everywhere except a built furnace, which only accepts ingredients for researched recipes.
  Changes:
    - The recipe row opens the mod's own picker instead of vanilla's recipe chooser, so unresearched recipes can be marked.
    - A drag over several machines outlines the one it primes (the one nearest the middle) and says that priming works one machine at a time.
    - The primer tool leaves the cursor once it has picked a machine and the priming window opens. A pick that finds nothing primable keeps it in hand to try again.
    - Requires Factorio 2.0.74 or newer, whose blueprint API keeps train couplings when a copy is rewritten.

Version: 0.2.0
Date: 2026-09-25
  Features:
    - Rewritten for Factorio 2.0. Priming now works on one machine at a time instead of a whole blueprint: point the primer tool at a furnace or assembler, ghost or built, and a window opens for that machine alone.
    - Partial item requests. Ask for exactly the ingredients a chosen number of crafts needs, down to a partial stack, not a whole one.
    - A fuel estimate for burner machines, computed from the recipe, the machine's crafting speed and energy usage, and the chosen fuel's value, so a steel furnace correctly asks for less coal than a stone one.
    - Boilers, burner mining drills, burner inserters and locomotives get a fuel-only window: pick a fuel and a count up to what the fuel slots hold.
    - Primed blueprints: take a copy of the primed machine, recipe and request into a fresh blueprint to stamp down a row of identically-primed furnaces or assemblers.
    - The shortcut-bar button puts the primer tool in your cursor; ALT + P over a machine opens its priming window directly.
  Compatibility:
    - A 1.1 save that had 0.1.1 keeps working when opened in 2.0. The old whole-blueprint window and its top-bar button are removed on load.
    - Works with or without Space Age and Quality. Quality recipes request quality ingredients, biochambers get nutrients, and a biochamber cracking oil gets a fuel-only window that keeps its recipe.

Version: 0.1.1
Date: 2024-08-10
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed a bad copy-paste in the 0.1.0 priming code.

Version: 0.1.0
Date: 2024-08-09
  Features:
    - Initial 1.1 release. Primed a whole blueprint in one pass: every assembler in it got a recipe from one shared picker, and every burner got fuel.
