Really Fast Start

⚡ Really Fast Start

Really Fast Start gives you a powerful builder-focused start so you can skip the slow early grind and get straight into building your factory.

Spawn with Power Armor MK2, a filled equipment grid, personal roboports, exoskeletons, batteries, shields, repair packs, and 50 custom faster construction bots.

No slow walking. No waiting forever for early construction. No empty armor grid.

Just load in and start building.

⚙️ What It Does

Really Fast Start gives every new player a strong personal builder kit when they join the game.

The mod automatically gives you Power Armor MK2 and fills the armor grid with useful equipment so you can move quickly, build faster, and survive early threats without needing to grind through the slowest part of a new save.

It also includes Fast Start Construction Robots, a custom construction robot type made only for this mod. These bots are faster than normal construction robots, but they do not change vanilla robot speed globally.

That means your starter bots feel fast and useful, while normal construction robots and logistic robots stay balanced.

🤖 Fast Start Construction Robots

Really Fast Start includes its own custom construction robot.

These bots are made for the starter kit and are faster than normal construction robots.

This keeps the mod clean and avoids changing the whole game.

| Robot Type | Behaviour | | --------------------------------- | -------------------------------- | | Fast Start Construction Robot | Faster starter bot from this mod | | Vanilla Construction Robot | Unchanged | | Vanilla Logistic Robot | Unchanged |

Only the robots given by Really Fast Start are faster.

The mod does not apply a force-wide robot speed bonus. The mod does not edit vanilla construction robot speed. The mod does not edit vanilla logistic robot speed.

🛠️ Admin Command

If you need to give yourself the kit again, run:

/really-fast-start

Admins can also give the kit to another player:

/really-fast-start PlayerName

The old backup command also still works:

/fast-start-kit

This is useful for multiplayer servers, testing saves, blueprint worlds, or players who join later.

📌 Design Goal

Really Fast Start is made for players who enjoy Factorio but do not want to repeat the slowest part of the early game every new save.

It is especially useful for:

• Multiplayer servers
• Mod testing
• Blueprint testing
• Large base planning
• Restart-heavy playthroughs
• Players who prefer building over early walking and handcrafting

The aim is to give you a strong start without turning the game into full creative mode.

You still need to build your factory, automate production, research technology, expand properly, and defend your base.

This mod just gets you moving from the first minute.

🔗 Compatibility

Really Fast Start is designed to be simple, safe, and easy to use with other mods.

It should work with:

• Vanilla Factorio 2.0
• Space Age
• Multiplayer servers
• Most overhaul mods
• Mods that add higher-tier batteries
• Mods that add higher-tier roboport equipment

If MK3 batteries are not available, the mod automatically uses MK2 batteries instead.

If Personal Roboport MK2 is not available, the mod will use the available roboport equipment fallback.
