About Handcraft Everything
From Factorio Mod PortalRemoves assembler restriction to all items. All items can be crafted in hand.
Handcraft Everything Tired of being told you need an assembler to make something? Handcraft Everything removes the crafting category restrictions and lets you build nearly any item by hand — as long as it makes sense.
🛠️ What This Mod Does ✅ Automatically makes all recipes hand-craftable (category crafting)
✅ Filters out recipes that:
Require fluids
Produce fluids
Use or produce non-carryable or hidden items
Are hardcoded to specific machines (fixed_recipe), like rocket silos
✅ Works with modded items and recipes
✅ Compatible with Space Age, Quality, and other major mods
🚫 What It Won’t Do ❌ Won’t let you hand-craft recipes that need fluid input/output (like water, oil, or steam)
❌ Won’t break fixed-machine recipes (e.g., rocket parts or biter hatching)
❌ Won’t change hidden or debug recipes
🤖 Mod Compatibility This mod is designed to intelligently detect recipe compatibility and works with most mods automatically.
Tested with:
Factorio 2.0
Space Age
Quality
Factorissimo 3
💡 Use Cases Play low-tech or minimalist runs where you avoid automation
Build entirely by hand in early game
Challenge runs or factoryless playthroughs
📦 Lightweight & Safe This mod only runs in data-final-fixes and does not add or remove items or recipes. It simply modifies recipe categories safely and dynamically.
