📋 About This Mod
Search your factory for items, fluids, entities, signals, tags and more with Shift + F. Displays a list of matching buildings: clicking on a result opens it in the map. Can search all planets/surfaces (Space Age, Space Exploration, etc). Alt + Shift + Click on anything (e.g. built entity, inventory item, recipe) to open the search with that item selected.
Factory Search adds a Shift+F search to find items, fluids, entities, signals, tags, and more across all surfaces. Clicking a result opens it on the map, and Alt+Shift+Click lets you search from any entity or inventory. A must-have utility for large bases, especially with Space Age or Space Exploration.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Search across all surfaces is a lifesaver for multi-planet bases.
- Click-to-map navigation saves tons of time hunting for specific buildings.
- Alt+Shift+Click makes searching from any entity or inventory super intuitive.
⚠️ Cons
- Zero endorsements might mean it's new or under-tested in the community.
- No explicit mention of compatibility with other UI mods, so conflicts are possible.
- Search performance on massive factories could be a concern, though not stated.
This is for Factorio players with sprawling bases who waste time hunting for specific items or buildings. It's especially useful for Space Age or Space Exploration players managing multiple surfaces. If you hate scrolling through the map to find that one assembler, this is for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use Shift+F to quickly search for any item or entity without opening the map.
- Try Alt+Shift+Click on a building to instantly search for similar entities or related items.
- When searching across planets, use the surface filter to narrow results if you know the location.
