Character Control

Early access. This is an early version: expect bugs and balance changes. Please report problems on the mod
page (Discussion tab) with the Factorio log (%APPDATA%\Factorio\factorio-current.log).

Tune your character in Factorio 2.1: inventory size, hand mining and crafting speed, running speed, pickup, build
and reach distance. Change the values during the game from a small panel next to the inventory.

Features

• Inventory size (startup setting, vanilla 80, up to 2000) plus extra slots you can change during the game.
• Hand mining speed and hand crafting speed ×0.1 to ×100.
• Running speed ×0.1 to ×10.
• Item pickup distance, build distance and mining / reach distance: up to +100 tiles.
• Works on top of research bonuses (Toolbelt, Mining productivity, etc.): the mod only changes its own share.
• Characters from other mods get the same inventory size.

How to use

1. Open the character inventory (E). On the right there is a folded strip Character settings; click the
   arrow to unfold it.
2. Move a slider or type a number in the field and press Enter. The change applies at once.
3. Reset to vanilla puts every value back to 1× / +0.
4. The same values are in Settings → Mod settings → Map. The base inventory size is in Startup (needs a
   restart).
5. Multiplayer: only an admin can change the values; everyone sees the panel.

Notes

• Lowering extra slots drops the items of the removed slots on the ground next to the character. Do not make
  the startup inventory size smaller than what the character carries: items in the removed slots can be lost.
• Before removing the mod, press Reset to vanilla and save: the bonuses are stored in the force like research
  bonuses and stay in the save otherwise.
