🚀 Key Features (Quality of Life)

⚙️ Settings Hub

A draggable settings menu for quick access to runtime options. Close with Escape or SHIFT+E.

📦 Even Distribution

Automatically distribute items evenly among multiple entities. Perfect for early-game fueling or inventory management.

🏃 Squeak Through

Walk between pipes, solar panels, and other structures that usually block your path. No more getting stuck in your own design!

🏗️ Auto Deconstruct

Miners that have exhausted their resources are automatically marked for deconstruction. Keeps your factory clean and your logistics bots busy.

🛠️ Inventory Repair

If you have repair packs in your inventory, damaged placeable entity items in your inventory will be automatically repaired over time.

⏱️ Time Controls

A sleek GUI in the top-left corner allows you to adjust game speed on the fly. Great for waiting out long research or speeding up travel.

🔤 Auto Alt Mode

Automatically enables Alt mode (entity info overlays) when you join a game—whether starting fresh, loading a save, or connecting to multiplayer. No more pressing Alt every time!

📋 Auto Inventory Sort

Automatically sorts chests, cargo wagons, and vehicles when opened. Manual sort (SHIFT+I) for open containers.

🔢 Held Item Count

Shows the count of your held item in inventory and vehicle trunk in the center of the screen.

🔦 Player Searchlight

Your character automatically faces the selected entity for orientation when building or inspecting.

⚠️ Cheat Features (Optional & Configurable)

These features are disabled by default and can be enabled via the Cheat Mode toggle in startup settings.

⚡ Crafting & Mining Speed

Modify your character's manual crafting and mining speeds. Speed up those early-game hand-crafting sessions!

🎒 Inventory Expansion

Add a significant number of bonus slots to your character's inventory capacity.

📏 Stack Size Manager

Customize item stack sizes. Support for both multipliers (e.g., 10x stacks) and absolute values.

🧪 Productivity Overhaul

Unlock productivity modules for all recipes (including those that normally don't allow it) and set a custom productivity cap.

🏹 Advanced Reach

Massive bonuses to interaction, building, and loot pickup distance beyond the standard QoL reach.
