About Dynamic Custom Start
From Factorio Mod PortalGenerates an Item Vault at the start of the game where starting items can be selected based on the specified settings values. Note: This is designed to give a jump start of selected items (regardless of mods installed), once the item vault window is closed it can never be opened again.
Dynamic Custom Start ##
Instead of having to try and use the limited options of quick start mods available that aren't aware of other mods that add items to your game that you have running, this mod generates an Item Vault pop-up initially on player spawn where you can select items to add to your inventory to kick-start your game.
Note: It inserts into player inventory and will not spill extra onto the ground. How you play is your own business and which items and the amount of them (or stacks of them) that you add to your game is up to you. There are two limitations defined in settings. The max time (in minutes) that the Item Vault window will spawn (this was intended for multiplayer game integrity but is untested). The max amount of unique item selections you can make, a value of 1 to 300.

FAQ
###Q: How can I reopen the Item Vault window? ###
- A: You can't. It gets triggered on player creation, once closed, it should never open again.
###Q: The item I wanted to start with doesn't appear in the Item Vault? ###
- A: I'm not an expert coder (especially of Factorio), but any registered item by mods or vanilla that can be placed in inventory should show up.
