Mining without holding down button?

[MrCollyer]

Im getting tired of holding down RMB to mine. is there a way to toggle it on?

It's kind of funny the whole game happens to be built around not doing things manually and just letting a machines do it.

they are called mining drills, happy building!

build a mining machine and feed it some wood or coal.

Serious? Factorio ist a game about Automation. Only in the first 10 minutes you have to make something manually. :-)

If there was a prize for "not getting it", you would get it.

Think for a moment about the ethymology of the name of the game. Then look at the bottom of your screen to see a mining drill in there. If there isn't, you probably have the raw materials to make one. If you don't, god help you...

You might want to play the Tutorial. (First Campaign)

Other than cutting a few trees, you shouldn't need to really do any mining at all.

Make sure you use the iron you start with to make a mining pick as well, otherwise it will take far too long to mine what little you do need (including the trees).

Note that you can use logs as fuel as well as coal, if you have trees in abundance, otherwise save your logs for early game power poles.

Personally, other than trees, for early game I would just plunk your burner mining drill down with a wooden crate right on the output. Wait for it to mine some for you, pick it up, and plunk it down again on the next material you need until you have enough to build another 2 or 3 drills.

Voila, you just got into the fully automated stage of the game and all you ever need to cut manually is a few trees.

Maybe there weren't deathworlds back in 2016. When minimizing pollution, manual mining is the only thing that's 0 pollution. If only this Windows tool worked for right clicking. https://wellnomics.com/ergotips/mouse-click-lock/
