✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Three sizes give flexibility for labeling everything from small chests to large factory sections.
- Map marker integration is a nice touch for keeping your map organized without extra mods.
- 33,901 downloads show it's been tried by a lot of players, even if endorsements are low.
⚠️ Cons
- Zero endorsements might signal issues or just a niche appeal—worth checking the forum thread.
- Blueprint support is limited: you can use plates in blueprints, but you can't update them, which could be annoying for iterative builds.
- Compatibility with other mods that alter icons or map markers isn't guaranteed, so test before adding to a heavy modlist.
This is for Factorio players who like clean, visual organization—think base builders who want to label storage areas, production lines, or outposts. It's also handy for multiplayer servers where clear signage helps teammates navigate. If you rely heavily on blueprints and frequently update them, the limitation might frustrate you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use the small plates for chests and the big ones for major production blocks to keep your base readable.
- Enable the map marker option for important locations like mining outposts or defense walls to navigate faster.
- If you use blueprints, place plates after finalizing the design to avoid the update limitation.
