This mod allows players to export their research from one Factorio save game to another. This is primarily intended for "New Game Plus" scenarios, enabling you to start a new game without having to re-research every (prerequisite) technology.

Features

  • Selective Export: Choose exactly which technologies you want to carry over.
  • Infinite Tech Level Transfer: Correctly saves and loads levels for infinite technologies (like Mining Productivity), ensuring your hard-earned research levels are preserved.
  • Automatic Prerequisite Unlocks: Importing a technology automatically unlocks all of its prerequisites up the tech tree.

Usage:

  1. Open the mod GUI in the Top Bar (science icon).
  2. Click the Export button. The researched technologies for your current game will be processed into a JSON string. Copy it.
  3. In the Import Tab, click the "Import Export String".
  4. Paste the saved JSON string into the text box and click Load. This will fill out the import list. You can then adjust infinite tech levels or uncheck tech you don't want.
  5. Click OK to apply the import.

NB! Bugs:

  • Currently in 0.1.1 version, applying the import will sometimes unlock 'finite level range' tech even when they weren't checked in the import menu, e.g. "Laser Damage 1 to Laser Damage 6".
