About Sandbox Builder

From Factorio Mod Portal

Quickly build, deconstruct, upgrade entities, and manage modules with no distance limit, just like in a sandbox. These operations can also be performed directly from remote view.

Sandbox Builder

Build, deconstruct, upgrade, and swap modules without construction robots, with no distance or surface restrictions. Designed for everything from early-game convenience to late-game megabase construction.

Construction and deconstruction are also supported in remote view. This mod was primarily developed to make factory design feel like playing in a sandbox.

How to Use

Installing the mod adds a button to the shortcut bar in the bottom-right corner. Turning it on enables automatic construction, deconstruction, and upgrades. You can turn it on or off at any time.

Construction

  • Automatically builds placed ghosts when the required items are available in your inventory.
  • Supports both normal placement and placement by holding Shift while clicking.
  • Supports ghost placement in remote view.
  • Works across surfaces with no distance limit. Space platforms are excluded.

Deconstruction

  • Immediately deconstructs entities marked for deconstruction.
  • Removes trees and rocks. Cliffs are also removed by consuming cliff explosives when available.
  • Returns recovered items to your inventory. Deconstruction waits if the items cannot be stored.
  • Supports deconstruction in remote view.
  • Works across surfaces with no distance limit. Space platforms are excluded.
  • Deconstructing objects on another surface transfers the recovered items between surfaces through your inventory. This is intended behavior.

Upgrades

  • Supports entity upgrades requested through the upgrade planner, as well as module insertion, removal, and replacement requests.

Sandbox Builder

建設ロボットなしで、建設、解体、アップグレード、モジュールの交換を距離やサーフェスの制限無く行います。 ゲーム序盤のユーティリティ改善から、ゲーム終盤の大型工場の建設まで対応しています。

リモートビューからの建設、撤去作業にも対応しています。 主に、工場の設計をサンドボックス感覚で行えるようにするために開発しました。

使用方法

MODを導入すると右下にボタンが追加され、これをONにすることで自動建設・撤去・アップグレードが開始されます。 任意にON/OFFを切り替えることが可能です。

建設

  • 必要なアイテムがインベントリに揃っている場合、配置されたゴーストに対して自動で建設を行います。
  • 通常の配置とShiftキーを押しながらのクリックによる配置の両方に対応しています。
  • リモートビューからのゴースト配置にも対応します。
  • 距離は無制限で別サーフェスの配置にも対応しますが、宇宙プラットフォームは対応しません。

撤去

  • 解体マークが付いた施設を即座に撤去します。
  • 木や岩、崖用爆弾があれば消費して崖も撤去します。
  • 回収品はインベントリに戻します。収納できない場合は撤去を待機します。
  • リモートビューからの解体にも対応します。
  • 距離は無制限で別サーフェスの撤去にも対応しますが、宇宙プラットフォームは対応しません。
  • 別サーフェスの物を撤去した時、インベントリを経由してアイテムのサーフェス間の移動が起きてしまいますが仕様です。

アップグレード

  • アップグレードプランナーによる施設の更新と、モジュールの投入・撤去・交換要求に対応します。
