Sorry for my slow response.
Yes, I was thinking about the same thing at some point, although I didn't get around to doing anything with it.
In the startup settings for this mod there is an option that says "Enable" or something like that. If this is turned off, the mod will not do anything.
However I haven't updated to Factorio 1.1 yet so that might be another issue.
I'm always looking for new patterns to add, so if you have any suggestions feel free to let me know. Mazes, at least, I have already done some of -- back in 0.12 it was the only thing this mod had.
