A complete list of the entities eligible for upgrade by a blank planner is found in Valid entities. The list of entity types that can be affected by a blank planner are as follows:Įntities of the above types will be upgraded to the next highest tier where one exists. When a blank upgrade planner is used it operates on a specific list of entities considered automatically upgradable to the next highest tier.

#Factorio update update#
The planner can optionally be edited to provide a custom list of update rules that control which entities will be updated and what to. The update is immediate and cannot be undone, except by applying another upgrade planner with filters set to change back the affected entities.Ī new upgrade planner is blank, meaning it lacks any configuration and will operate on a pre-defined set of upgrade rules.If a blank planner is used an automatic set of common upgrades is applied, as described in the next section. The entities in the blueprint will immediately update according to the filters in the planner.The upgrade planner can be applied by clicking Left mouse button on the grey upgrade planner slot in the top right corner of the blueprint.With a planner held in the hand, the edit window for a blueprint should be opened by clicking Right mouse button on it.It is not currently possible to use an upgrade planner in the blueprint library. The blueprint to be updated must reside in an inventory.As upgrade planners can also downgrade entities this further provides a way for a player to adjust late-game blueprints to make them suitable for re-use in subsequent games. This allows the player to keep using the same blueprints as they research progressively better entities. Upgrade planners can also be used to change the contents of a blueprint. Pending upgrade operations can be cancelled by holding Shift while click-dragging the upgrade planner over the affected area. Any ghost eligible for update will immediately change to the new entity. Upgrade planners can also affect ghost entities. The planner can be used anywhere on the map where the player has radar coverage (map view). These update operations will be performed by construction robots. Once Left mouse button is released yellow circles will appear over any existing structures that are now queued for update. A tooltip appears indicating which entities will be changed and to what. With a planner held in the hand the player can click-drag it ( Left mouse button is held down while moving the mouse) over existing structures to mark them for upgrade. It must be placed in the inventory before a filter can be applied and before it can be pinned to a quickbar slot. It can be used immediately or placed in the inventory. This will result in a blank upgrade planner appearing in the hand. 2.1 Using a blank upgrade planner (unfiltered)īasic operation Getting an upgrade plannerĪ blank planner can be obtained by clicking the green upgrade planner icon ( ) on the shortcut bar (available once construction robotics has been researched in at least one game.).Upgrade planners, just like blueprints, can be stored in a blueprint book or blueprint library to prevent them occupying inventory space or for organization or sharing purposes. This can include downgrading higher tier, later-game entities to lower tier equivalents. Alternatively they can be configured (filtered) to make specific replacements. Upgrade planners can be used blank (unfiltered) to automatically apply a limited set of common upgrades. Using an upgrade planner in the game world is similar to the operation of the deconstruction planner and blueprint, in that the player drags a rectangular area in which the upgrade planner will function and this results in orders being queued for construction robots. While most commonly used to upgrade entities to their higher tier equivalents - for example to replace transport belts with fast transport belts or fast inserters with stack inserters - the upgrade planner is able to change a wide range of entities including transport belts, underground belts, splitters, inserters, assembling machines, chests, power poles, rail signals, modules, furnaces and more.
It can also modify the contents of a blueprint.
It can be used on both placed structures and ghosts. The upgrade planner is a tool for mass updating entities to alternative entities of the same size and type.
