Open Borders - Factorio Edition

This mod removes walls from the game by preventing their placement. They can still be crafted, but placing them is no longer possible.

Known Limitations

• Wall items remain in recipes and research (this is intentional for compatibility)
• Some mods that heavily modify wall behavior may not be fully compatible (why would you use this mod with such mods?)

FAQ

Why?

I walked into a wall one too many times on my way to the bathroom at 3 AM and decided to make this mod.

Does this mod work with other mods?

Yes, this mod should work with most mods that properly declare their wall entities.

A mod I use places walls automatically, will this mod break it?

By default, this mod dissociates the wall item from the wall entity. Since this might not be enough, it also imposes a restriction on wall placement which should never be fulfilled. This means that even if you try to place a wall, it will not be placed. Similar to how the game prevents you from placing assembling machines on water. There is a setting that skips the placement restrictions, allowing walls to be placed as normal from code and from the editor.

How do I reenable wall placement?

Simply disable the mod in the mod settings.

Something broke, what do I do?

If by that you mean that biters have taken control over your assembly lines and you don't even know which part of your factory is stills yours, then I suggest you gid good. Maybe try pointing the pointy end of the shooty thing at them and pulling the hingy thing on the other end. If all your hear is a click, take a bunch of bundled pointy things and stick the bundle into the non-pointy end of the shooty thing.

If it's another mod, then feel free to tell me and I will have a look at it. I can't promise anything.
