Change log 0.1.2
Fix crash on wrong order.
Fix crash on fail to insert entities after MPF is mined.
Fix the inaccurate monitoring.
Entities will be checked when place MPF. So you can not duplicate buildings by mining the machines before /P.

Change log 0.1.1
Fixed some bug.
Now the MPF is a logistic-container with buffer mode (green box), meaning that you could link wire to get its inventory in signal.
You may get trouble when you try to deliever staff with robots though, because your MPF is too large to be covered by your robotport..

MegaPackFactory (MPF) - Automated Factory Compressor

Description:

Ever dreamt of compacting your sprawling factories into a neat, manageable, and ultra-efficient pack? The MegaPackFactory (MPF) mod is here to turn that dream into reality!

With MPF, you can mark an area, monitor the production and consumption rates, and then compress the entire area into a single MegaPackFactory entity. This compact entity mimics the exact production, consumption, and even the aesthetics of the original sprawling area, but in a much tidier and performance-friendly way.

Here's how it works:

Mark an Area:

Use commands /M1, /M2, or /M3 to mark an area of 50x50, 100x100, or 200x200 tiles around you, which will be tiled with stone bricks to clearly delineate the bounds.
Start Monitoring:

Enter /S to start monitoring the marked area. The mod will keep track of all your production, consumption, and the entities involved.
End Monitoring:

Once you're satisfied, enter /E to end the monitoring phase. The mod will calculate the average net production and consumption per minute over the monitoring period.
Place the MegaPackFactory:

Finally, enter /P to compress the entire area into a single MPF entity. All the original entities within the marked area will be destroyed, and a new MPF entity will be placed which replicates the net production and consumption of the original area.
Visual Feedback:

During the monitoring phase, flying texts will notify you each time a production cycle is completed in any entity, providing a cool visual feedback of your factory's heartbeat.
Expandability:

Designed with compatibility and expandability in mind, MPF works harmoniously with other mods and can handle a variety of custom entities and recipes from other mods.
Revolutionize the way you manage your factories, make them portable, organized, and highly efficient with the MegaPackFactory mod. Say goodbye to the sprawling chaos, and embrace the compact, neat, and visually appealing MegaPackFactory experience!
