Key notes:

  1. This mod is clearly cheating and will make the early (and mid) game much easier.
  2. The basis of this mod is not mine. I reused the idea and the sprites from others (see section "Origins" below)
  3. I have built this mod for myself, and I play very rarely. Please don't ask for frequent features, language support, or for version upgrades. But feel free to fork it and publish your own. Just credit my predecessors and me.

Synoposis:

  • A) You love Factorio, but you, like me, really hate the mining part? Then this cheat is for you: 4x iron ore, 4x copper ore, 1x coal, 1x stone
  • B) You love Factorio, but you also hate the smelting parts? Then this cheat is for you: 4x iron plates, 4x copper plates, 1x steel, 1x stone bricks
  • C) You love Factorio, but since you are anyhow already cheating, you might as well get other intermediate products too: 4x green circuits, 2x red circuits, 1x blue processing units, 1x engine units, 2x plastic
  • D) NOT YET DONE: You love Factorio, but the other cheats were made for Nauvis only? Then this cheat might be for you (but warning: it really breaks progression)
  • E) Well, I couldn't figure out quality. But doesn't matter: the bus is a nice idea, but you're a cheater and destined for promethean hell, so why not just unlock infinite pipes, infinity chests and infinity cargo wagons?

Origins & changelog: ##

This mod is extended version of two previous mods. Thanks to both!
1) Originally "Initial Bus Cheat" by DellAquila (MayorAquila)
==> had the two options: A and B, but it could be only one and only decided in the beginning via settings. There was a decay option
2) The "Multiple Bus Cheat for Factorio 2" by Mxlppxl
==> made it for Factorio 2.0, modified to have the circuits/units
3) My version (sabrewulf) * multiple different cheat busses, all can be built in parallel * cleanup code and object names. I'm not experienced in LUA, but even I could see that it was rather messy. I'm a fan of tighter spacing with higher legibility * intermediate products version * ungrade to turbo loaders in case you need to saturate the green belts too * unlock debugging infinity items for full flexibility/cheatability

To do (though probably not):

  • Add Pumpjacks: Crude Oil for the first, consider Petrol, Lube, etc. for the second. Would make infinity pipes
  • Implement Space Age planet versions, but I haven't progressed there yet
  • Unlock with technologies
  • Quality
