Overview

This mod adds a resizable display that can generate every possible factory. This was originally inspired by the Library of Babel and was made for this YouTube video where I go more in depth about how it works:

This is a mod that should really only be used in isolation as it is more of an experiment than actual content for the game.

How To Use

Display

  1. Place the Library Display entities at the corners of a rectangular shape. (You may need to increase the max display size setting if your desired size is large)
  2. Use the menu in the top left to generate a random factory.
  3. See if you find any interesting factories! You likely will not since the search space is extremely large, but what you see is a combination of entities that has likely never been seen before!

Search

  1. Place the display entities in the desired size.
  2. Place the Library Search entities in the same dimensions.
  3. Place any entities you would like included in your generated factories within the search display bounds.
  4. Use the menu in the top left to generate factories with your included search entities!
