Overview

EasyCreative allows for more convenient creation and usage of testing and design worlds, by allowing the rapid and simple preparation of the world itself and making it more convenient to build test designs. Together, these changes allow for something akin to Minecraft creative mode in a "superflat" world.

Base Usage

Simply run /initPlayer, /initMap, or /initCreative (which combines the two) in your chat box. This command will not count as cheating or disable achievements.

Map initialization will clear a large area of all features - biters, rocks, trees, water, ore, and more - leaving a large empty area of grass perfect for building.

Player initialization will do many things, including unlocking all recipes, giving many commonly used items (eg belts, pipes, assemblers, power poles, and more), granting significant speed bonuses, preparing the hotbar, and enabling cheat_mode to be able to craft any item from nothing.

Additionally, EasyCreative will make creative-mode players function like Minecraft creative mode, where they will not have to craft more units of items they place, nor will they receive extra ones from mining; they can place infinite entities from a single item, and mine infinite without making a mess of their inventory. Placed lueprints are also immediately converted to real entities, and the deconstruction planner outright deletes entities. This allows for the rapid copying, deletion, or importing of any section of any construction.

Additional Tools

There are further commands to mark entities for continuous automatic refilling (of whatever was in them at the time of the command) - /refill - and to either fill a cargo wagon with the specified item or empty it completely, via /fillTrain [item] and /emptyTrain. There is also a selection tool which can rapidly empty inventories and belts.

Configuration Settings

This mod contains several config options to modify values and behaviors - such as for balance or server safety concerns, or simply personal taste - to your preferences. Note that several settings may have bounds imposed on their values, either logically or explicitly; these can usually be seen in the actual settings files or ingame. These are listed in order found in the source code, which is generally the order in which they were added; They may be present in a different order ingame or in the configuration files.
The settings for the mod, when installed, can be found ingame, in the mod settings menu.
