About Extra Utilities
From Factorio Mod PortalConsume your excess power to make simpler production lines! Also included: INSERTERS!
A mod that allows you to copy items out of a mysterious liquid, created out of a lot of Energy. Consume your excess power while reducing the production steps drastically (not recommended for large scale productions!)
I'm mostly a beginner when it comes to writing code or mods, so if you find any bugs or have suggestions to make this mod better or my code more efficent write it down in the Discussion.
FAQ
How can I copy Items?
First you have to scan a Item with an empty pattern in the scanner to get a pattern with the designated item. Next you can select the recipe for the item in the replicator and put the pattern in it. As soon as there is enough UU-Matter in it, it will create a copy of your item. (The Re-Inserter that you get with the automation science is desinged to be used with the replicator to make a continious production)
What is the Re-Inserter for?
Factorio does'nt allow a recipe consume count of 0, so your pattern will always end up in the output of the replicator. The Re-Inserter is basically a Filter inserter that puts its items to where they came from, to put the pattern in the input of the replicator.
