Factory Search


Search your factory for items, fluids, entities, signals, tags and more with Shift + F. Displays a list of matching buildings: clicking on a result opens it in the map. Supports Space Exploration (works across all surfaces). Control + Shift + Click on almost anything (e.g. built entity, inventory item, recipe) to open the search with that item selected. Similar to BeastFinder and Where is it Made?

i [Declined] BiterFinder

2 years ago

Love the mod!
But what I really need is to be able to search for existing biters, mostly the worms.
I'm playing space exploration and this would be usefull when trying to 100% clear a planet to then trim the surface.
Those worms are so hard to find sometimes...

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. Because this is such a niche feature (only useful with Space Exploration, and even then, only needed until you get an auto-targeting glaive), I've decided not to implement it into Factory Search. Also because there's already a mod that does it: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/hostile-finder. I saw another mod recently released that also searches for biter bases but I can't seem to find it now.

Worth noting that SE now tells you where the remaining worms/nests are :)
