✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (28,731) shows real demand for automation.
- The ctrl+click workflow is fast once you get the hang of it.
- Ghost creation means you can plan layouts without committing resources.
⚠️ Cons
- Zero endorsements might signal reliability issues or lack of community trust.
- Last updated in 2021, so it may not work with the latest Factorio versions.
- Limited to belts and pipes—no support for other entities like inserters or splitters.
This is for Factorio players who hate manually dragging belts across long distances and want to quickly sketch out bus lines or pipe networks. It's also handy for blueprint planners who want to prototype layouts faster. If you're a vanilla purist, you might skip it, but if you're into QoL mods, this is worth a shot.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the starting and ending belts placed before using the ctrl+click combo.
- Use this mod to quickly lay out long stretches of belt for your main bus, then upgrade to red or blue belts later.
- If the mod doesn't work, check that you're running a compatible Factorio version (pre-2021).
