# Entity Symmetry

A mod for the game Factorio, places rotated/mirrored entities around specified points.

The purpose of this mod is to speed up development of blueprints, particularly

for rail junctions.

## Usage

Craft a "Symmetry Center" item. Place it in the world as a "Symmetry Center"

entity. Place some entities nearby and see them duplicated around the center.

Remove those entities and the duplicates will be removed. Creation and removal

use construction ghosts and deconstruction marks by default. Enabling direct

creation and removal (cheating) requires enabling a new map setting and player

setting.

## Configuration

The Symmetry Center entity is a constant combinator. Setting signals within it

will control its behavior as follows:

- **C**

Move the center of symmetry to a corner/edge of the tile. 0 = north edge, 1 =

northeast corner, ..., 6 = west edge, 7 = northwest corner.

- **D**

Set the max distance from the center to copy entities. Default is 64. Negative

numbers are circular distance, positive square.

- **R**

Rail entities are always placed on a 2x2 grid. This setting controls whether

other entities honor that grid. -1 is never. 1 is always. 0 is not until a

rail entity is placed then it automatically becomes 1.

- **S**

Type of Symmetry. 0 = None. Positive = rotation, 4 and 2 are useful, other

numbers are just pretty. Negative = mirror, -1 = east/west, -2 = north/south,

-4 and -8 are diagonal, add together for multiple mirrors.

- **item**

Positive signal will copy only the signaled item(s). Negative signal will

exclude the signaled item(s) from copying.
