Intermediate products (gears, circuits, cables...) and optionally science packs can no longer be crafted by hand: you must automate them. Buildings stay hand-craftable. Adds a Burner assembling machine available from the very start so the game never soft-locks. Optional strict mode: only placeable things can be hand-crafted. Works with Space Age and modded recipes.
Small changes concerning balance, gameplay, or graphics.
