Atmos Auto Fire

Factorio 2.1 mod that automatically fires the shotgun in the player's hands.

The character itself pulls the trigger: the mod sets the character's shooting state at the chosen target, so spread, range, cooldown, ammo use, and research bonuses are exactly those of the held gun.

Behavior

• Active while the selected weapon name contains shotgun and the shortcut is on.
• A target is picked every 5 ticks; the trigger is held every tick while that target stays valid and in range.
• While a target is held, it overrides manual aiming. With no target, manual shooting works as usual.

Allow / forbid lists

Allow rows are checked from top to bottom. Each row can be:

• ★ All enemies
• An entity type (spawners, combat robots, units, worm/turret type, spider units, segmented units)
• A specific game entity (choose-elem picker)

Each allow row has a range slider and an m / % switch:

• m — absolute meters
• % — percent of the held weapon's firing range

Forbid entries are never selected as targets and also block the line of fire.

Default allow order:

1. All at 10% range
2. Spawners
3. Combat robots
4. Worms behemoth → small
5. Spitters behemoth → small
6. Biters behemoth → small
7. All at 100% range

Default forbid: gun turret, laser turret, flamethrower turret.

Avoid-own-buildings line-of-fire check is on by default: a target is skipped while the shot cone toward it crosses an own or allied building (or a forbidden entity).

The "Show debug overlay" checkbox draws ranges, candidates with their allow row, shot cones, and blocking buildings.

Controls

• Top bar: shotgun button opens or closes the settings window.
• Shortcut bar: toggles auto-fire. Default key CONTROL + ALT + G.
