✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Jump straight into bot logistics without the usual early-game grind.
- The options switch lets you tweak how early or cheap logistics become.
- Solid endorsement count (6.2k) shows the community digs it.
⚠️ Cons
- Only updated in late 2024, so it might not be compatible with the latest Factorio versions.
- Starting with bots could trivialize early resource gathering for purists.
- As a tweak mod, it doesn't add new content beyond the early-game boost.
This is for Factorio players who are tired of hand-feeding assemblers and want to automate with bots from the get-go. It's also great for veterans starting new playthroughs who want to skip the early logistic research slog.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use the options switch to adjust when logistics research becomes available—set it to 'cheaper' if you want a smoother early game.
- Your starting bots are limited, so prioritize building more roboports and charging stations to keep them operational.
- Pair this with a quick-start mod for even more early-game convenience, but be aware of potential balance changes.
