Factorio 2.0/2.1 update to the original mod by Nexela, who has seemingly left Factorio modding.

For the Complete Picker experience, check out the Picker Complete Feature Pack, which includes additional Picker-related standalone mods, such as Even Pickier Dollies, Belt Visualizer, Cursor Enhancements, and more!

Major Features

  • Planner Menu: Hotkey to display a menu with every available blueprint, deconstruction planner, upgrade planner, or selection tool in the game (including those added by mods). Left click on a planner to select it from the menu; Right click to disable it from appearing in the Planner Cycler.
  • Planner Cycler: Hotkey to cycle through every available blueprint, deconstruction, upgrade planner, or selection tool in the game (including those added by mods, excluding those that were right-clicked from the Planner Menu). Setting to remember the last selected planner (either from the Menu or the Cycler) and continue cycling from there, or to begin from the first planner each time (only applies when cursor is not already a planner)
  • Planner Zapper: Setting to zap planners that are dropped from the cursor (when pressing Z, not Q; assuming default hotkeys)
  • Automatic Ghost Reviver: Settings to automatically place ghost entities and tiles when player hovers over the ghost entity with the item in hand. Additional setting for ghost upgrades, as well as to ignore quality restrictions (if disabled, correct quality of machine is required to auto-revive)
  • Automatic Module Inserter: When auto-reviving machines with module requests, automatically inserts the requested modules, if available in player inventory. (code adapted from Building Ghosts Inserts Modules by protocol_1903) Also allows using the picker hotkey to auto-insert modules when hovering the cursor over an already-built entity.
  • Belt Reverser: Hotkey to reverse an entire line of belt. Adapted several bugfixes and functionality from Belt Reverser 2.1, but internal functionality is suppressed if their version (or any of the other belt reverser forks) is detected.
  • Belt Brush: Increasing/Decreasing Tile Size when holding any belt switches to Belt Brush mode, allows placing several rows of belt down at once.
    Hotkey to enable Belt Balancer, with several options from any number of inputs to any number of outputs.
    Hotkey to enable Belt Brush Corners, to easily turn entire rows of belts at once.
    Adapted several bugfixes and functionality from Belt Brush 2, but internal functionality is suppressed if their version is detected.
  • Automatic Inventory Sort: Setting to automatically sort every chest, vehicle, and spidertron when opened by the player. Recommended to disable when playing with particularly large containers, such as AAI Warehouses.
  • Manual Inventory Sort: Hotkey to manually sort the currently opened inventory. This can be used instead of the above feature when playing with particularly large containers.
  • Chest Limiter: Setting to automatically limit the number of available slots on a held container before placing it down.
  • Copy/Paste Chest Contents: Hotkey to copy contents from one container, and paste them onto another one. Includes setting to copy/paste across surfaces (disabled by default)

Minor Features

  • Start with Alt Mode Enabled: Setting to automatically enable alt mode when starting a new game or joining a multiplayer game.
  • Start with preset Player Character Color: Setting to automatically set the character color when starting a new game or joining a multiplayer game. Also applies when newly added to existing save.
  • Start with preset Player Chat Color: Same as above, but automatically sets the chat color instead.
  • Player Searchlight: Setting to allow stationary player rotating to face the cursor when hovering over an entity. (seeking searchlight)
  • Held Item Count: Setting to show the total number of the currently held item. Works with Blueprints and Belt Brush/Balancer/Corners.
    Adapted several bugfixes and functionality from Yemto's Item Count, but internal functionality is suppressed if Yemto's is detected.
  • Wire Cycler: Hotkey to cycle between Red/Green Wire (and Copper Wire, with setting).
    Integrated and adapted from Wire Shortcuts X
  • Quality Item Scrolling: Hotkeys to scroll through available qualities for the currently held item, similar to the base game quality scrolling hotkeys, but only if they are in the player inventory, skipping over any qualities that are unavailable, and looping around after hitting the minimum and maximum qualities. Does not scroll through ghost entities (use the vanilla hotkeys for that). Tested with:
  • Renamer: Hotkey to enable renaming of entities that support backer names, including: Roboports, Labs, Train stations, Locomotives, and Radars
    Integrated and adapted from Renamer by GotLag
