What's new in 0.10.0

Fetching takes only from the chests your radars see right now. She remembers them, going over the radar-covered chunks every 30 seconds a slice at a time; a chest no radar sees waits until one does.
Her to-get list: what neither those chests nor her hands can get goes on it, with why. She tries again every 5 minutes when she is free. Her panel's Bring tab shows it; "to-get list", "forget T3".
She watches your logistic network: the items of your request group named "Nixie", and what your robots lack for ghosts. Something missing for 5 minutes, she asks once whether to get it; yes, and she brings it into a storage chest of that network. "what is missing", "watch group <name>", "ask after 10 minutes".
Clearing an area: her planner's remove drag, "clear L5" or "clear here". She shows what she would take up (belts, pipes and power passing through, rails, stations, roboports, radars and do-not-touch stay), then on yes takes it up: robots first inside their network, by hand outside it.

Install

Put nixie-player_0.10.0.zip in Factorio's mods folder, as it is (do not unzip it): %APPDATA%\Factorio\mods on Windows, ~/.factorio/mods on Linux. Updating? Delete the older nixie-player_*.zip there first.
Start Factorio; Nixie appears in the mod list. Load a save or start a new game.
The first time, a short guide opens at the top left and ticks each step as you do it.

First words

Type in chat: nixie, call · nixie, come · nixie, bring 50 iron plates · nixie, help. She always says what she understood and waits for yes before she moves your things.
On a brand-new save: nixie, mine iron ore near me, then yes. She starts from nothing, as you do.
Her panel: Ctrl+Alt+N. Point at a place: Ctrl+N. Stop her: Ctrl+Shift+N, or nixie, stop, from anyone.
Your friends in your game are guests until you let them in: nixie, let anna in (or her panel's Friends tab).

Older versions

For a save that needs an older one. Each is rebuilt from its release tag: the same files that were released.

Version	Date	Mod	Friends' kit	What it brought
0.9.0	2026-10-14	nixie-player_0.9.0.zip	nixie-friends-kit_0.9.0.zip	Nixie is a helper now: she comes to you, follows you, stops, appears and leaves, fetches what you ask for, builds the ghosts and clears the area you point at. Designing factories (layouts, sushi loops, chains, Factory Planner plans, templates, test-runs, ideas, standing jobs, rail extensions) is set aside. "go away": she puts what she carries back into chests, then leaves.
0.8.0	2026-10-14	nixie-player_0.8.0.zip	nixie-friends-kit_0.8.0.zip	Repairs: "what's wrong with P3" names an inserter too slow for what its machine eats or makes (the next faster one you can make), a belt that brings too little, too little power; "fix P3" (then yes) and she swaps the inserters herself. A block that scores below its best proposes its fixes. Room for a whole layout: "find room for 1 automation science pack a second" works out its footprint without drawing it, then offers free ground near its ore, water and power, as places.
0.7.0	2026-10-14	nixie-player_0.7.0.zip	nixie-friends-kit_0.7.0.zip	Robots build first: pieces of an approved plan inside a construction network with robots are left to them, and what their network lacks she brings to its storage chest. The rest she builds herself, and so does anything the robots stall on for a minute. "build by hand" keeps the robots out (a switch on the Build tab). Your own ghosts: drag her planner over ghosts you placed, or say "build the ghosts in L3", and they become a plan she builds on your yes. Yours are never taken away.
0.6.0	2026-10-14	nixie-player_0.6.0.zip	nixie-friends-kit_0.6.0.zip	Factory Planner plans: export a factory in Factory Planner, paste the string in her panel's new Factory plans tab (or say "factory plan <string>"). She counts it with each line's machine, modules and beacons and shows it the way Factory Planner does. Draw turns a line into ghosts for your yes or no; "draw line 3 of FP1 at L4", "draw FP1 at L4". Layouts with fluids: machines turned so their pipes keep clear of the inserters, every pipe laid around what is in the way with fluids kept apart, steam from burner boilers.
0.5.0	2026-10-14	nixie-player_0.5.0.zip	nixie-friends-kit_0.5.0.zip	Fetching looks again further out when nothing is found: a chest built far away lately was not looked in for 5 minutes. Standing jobs she does by herself when she has nothing else to do: "keep L3 fuelled" (burners filled when one has under 3 minutes of fuel), "keep 200 iron plates in L4", "keep L5 rebuilt" (what dies there is put back; what you take down stays down). A Jobs tab: pause, remove. Your orders always come first.
0.4.0	2026-10-14	nixie-player_0.4.0.zip	nixie-friends-kit_0.4.0.zip	Your rail grid, read: junctions, stretches, stops, where the track ends or has gaps. "Make the coal patch a cybersyn provider": track from your own rail book to the patch, a ring to turn round, the provider station (your blueprint with the item set), a refueler, two depots — plans of one group, "yes G1".
0.3.3	2026-10-13	nixie-player_0.3.3.zip	nixie-friends-kit_0.3.3.zip	What she is doing, in words, on her panel: which chest she walks to and what for, what she hand-crafts, mines, smelts and places. A Log tab: her decisions and why (which chest and why others were skipped, crafting by hand, the way she walks, why a task ended).
0.3.2	2026-10-13	nixie-player_0.3.2.zip	nixie-friends-kit_0.3.2.zip	Jobs that are not running can be removed: every job waiting its turn has a Remove button on her panel, and a plan waiting its turn can be deleted (it comes off her list too). In words: "cancel Q3" for a waiting job, "no P5" or "delete P5" for a plan.
0.3.1	2026-10-13	nixie-player_0.3.1.zip	nixie-friends-kit_0.3.1.zip	The Bring tab's item picker no longer closes the moment it opens. She understands the names the game shows ("burner assembling machine mk 2"), in your language.
0.3.0	2026-10-13	nixie-player_0.3.0.zip	nixie-friends-kit_0.3.0.zip	Templates: a mining outpost on free ground (burner drills where no power is near), a row of machines, edits, measuring. On a brand-new save she starts from nothing: mines, smelts and crafts by hand.
0.2.0	2026-10-13	nixie-player_0.2.0.zip	nixie-friends-kit_0.2.0.zip	Her panel as a streamlined popup, and words in chat ("nixie, bring 50 iron plates") that say what she understood. Friends: the host lets players in as friend or builder.
0.1.0	2026-10-13	nixie-player_0.1.0.zip	—	First version: her eyes, her body, places, fetching from allowed chests, her library and plans with your yes.
