Magic Science Chest: Improved
A free passive-provider chest supplies science packs after your force has produced enough of each pack.
Factorio 2.1 · Version 1.0.2
Fork changes
- Corrects science-pack filters and refreshes the progress window when the available pack list changes.
- Caches science-pack discovery and avoids rewriting unchanged chest filters or rebuilding identical progress views.
- Rediscovers existing chests when switching from the original mod and refreshes their filters after configuration changes.
- Restores native refill for saves affected by an earlier fork release that left chests disabled.
- Updates production-statistics access, prototype fields and GUI handling for Factorio 2.1.
Science still comes from the original native refill mechanism. The production threshold defaults to 100 of each pack; unlocked packs are supplied as full stacks. Each pack unlocks independently when its own threshold is reached.
Installation
Requires Factorio 2.1.23+. Disable magic-science-chest before enabling this fork. Existing chest names are retained, so the fork can rediscover them. Space Age is optional.
