v2.0.0-beta.6

Instructions

First uninstall/disable Area Actions from SMM if you had installed the 1.6.x version from there. Then extract the release zip from here to your_game_install_location\FactoryGame\Mods\AreaActions. Make sure the folder is named AreaActions (not AreaActions_version), and that all the mod files are in that folder, and not nested one folder deeper.

Differences to AA 1.6.x

• Area Actions is no longer an equipment, but a tab in the build menu
• Selection modes and actions can be bound to the hotbar
• Copying and filling are placed as holograms rather than number inputs (the old UI still exists if needed)
• Blueprints

Changelog

• Fixed a crash when hovering a blueprint button in the menu

Known Issues

• Key down events for binding to hotbar don't work until you switch to another category (Selection/Actions/Blueprints) and back
• Items are not taken (they were in the previous betas)
• Hologram UI is displayed above everything
