Handcraft Everything
Tired of being told you need an assembler to make something?
Handcraft Everything removes the crafting category restrictions and lets you build nearly any item by hand — as long as it makes sense.
🛠️ What This Mod Does
✅ Automatically makes all recipes hand-craftable (category crafting)
✅ Filters out recipes that:
Require fluids
Produce fluids
Use or produce non-carryable or hidden items
Are hardcoded to specific machines (fixed_recipe), like rocket silos
✅ Works with modded items and recipes
✅ Compatible with Space Age, Quality, and other major mods
🚫 What It Won’t Do
❌ Won’t let you hand-craft recipes that need fluid input/output (like water, oil, or steam)
❌ Won’t break fixed-machine recipes (e.g., rocket parts or biter hatching)
❌ Won’t change hidden or debug recipes
🤖 Mod Compatibility
This mod is designed to intelligently detect recipe compatibility and works with most mods automatically.
Tested with:
Factorio 2.0
Space Age
Quality
Factorissimo 3
💡 Use Cases
Play low-tech or minimalist runs where you avoid automation
Build entirely by hand in early game
Challenge runs or factoryless playthroughs
📦 Lightweight & Safe
This mod only runs in data-final-fixes and does not add or remove items or recipes. It simply modifies recipe categories safely and dynamically.
