# Editor Extensions

Extends the Factorio map editor with new features, testing tools, and quality

of life changes. Also adds a separate editor lab that can be used to design

blueprints separately from your main factory.

## Installation

[Download on the Mod Portal.](https://mods.factorio.com/mod/EditorExtensions)

## Features

### Map editor conveniences

Enter the map editor by pressing the shortcut button, or by using `Control +

Alt + E`:

The mod will rearrange the top-left mod GUIs so that they remain visible while

inside the editor. If you have cheat mode enabled, your inventory and cursor

will be synced between the map editor and regular play.

### Personal or shared testing lab

![](screenshots/testing-lab.png)

Enable the testing lab in the per-player mod settings to teleport to an

isolated testing space when entering the map editor. This testing lab will run

alongside your actual factory, and you can freely design and test within the

lab without cheating in your actual game.

### Testing tools

![](screenshots/testing-tools.png)

The mod adds a variety of supercharged entities, items, and equipment for

testing your factories. Spawn or void items with the infinity chest, spawn or

void fluids with the infinity pipe, saturate or void your transport belts with

the infinity loader, and more.

The tools are only available when inside the map editor or when cheat mode is

enabled.

### Cheat mode

You can use the testing tools outside of the map editor by entering cheat mode

with the `/cheat` command. `/cheat all` will provide you with basic testing

items in your inventory, and give you a power armor kitted out with

supercharged equipment. You are essentially invincible, you run super fast, and

you have a personal roboport that can instantly construct or deconstruct.

### Testing scenario and debug world

![](scenarios/testing/image.png)

The mod adds a new scenario specialized for testing. This scenario generates a

blank world filled with lab tiles, researches all technologies, enables cheat

mode, provides you with testing items and equipment, and sets up a super

roboport with super robots that can build or destroy anything you want. The

scenario also massively increases the speed at which construction orders are

dispatched.
