I have no idea how to mod or anything but how easy would it be to make a mod that would automatically put a factory on repeat each time you built one?
The developers have mentioned that they're probably going to have an option so factories will be on auto build. Some players want auto build by default, some don't. I look forward to when factories are on auto build by default. In the meantime, I'd love it if you figure out how to have a mod that does this.
There are quite a few resources around here that could help out someone interested in modding. We also hang out on the irc pretty often if you have any specific questions. Would you like me to find the threads with help for beginners and post them here?
