Description

TeleportFavorites

*Instant teleportation to your favorite map locations in Factorio 2.0+*

TeleportFavorites adds a favorites bar, map tag editor, and teleport history with shortcuts. Favorites, tags, and history stay per surface (Nauvis, Vulcanus, Gleba, etc, modded worlds too), and tag editing respects multiplayer ownership.


Quick start

*👋 Shortest path from install to your first teleport.*

  1. Enable the mod and load a save.
  2. Look at the top of the screen for the favorites bar.
  3. Right-click the map to open the tag editor, set an icon or text, star it if you want it on the bar, and confirm.
  4. Left-click a filled slot to teleport, or use Ctrl+1 through Ctrl+0 for slots 1–10 only.
  5. Open teleport history from the bar or with Ctrl+Shift+T; use Ctrl+Minus / Ctrl+Equals to step through entries.

Details below: Getting Started, Map Tags, Teleport History, Sequential History Mode.

  • 🗺️ Map tag editor — Right-click the map to create, edit, favorite, or delete tags with icons and text
  • 📜 Teleport history — Scrollable list, keyboard navigation, destination-only (Standard) or full-hop (Sequential) recording. Switch modes with the history mode button on the favorites bar (next to the history button); hover for in-game tooltips
  • 🔀 Drag and drop — Shift+left-click to drag slots on the bar

  • 🤝 Multiplayer-safe — Tag ownership by player name; only the creator or admins can edit or move a tag
  • 🌍 Surface-aware — Favorites, tags, and history are stored per surface
  • 🌐 Locales — Uses your game language where translations exist

Getting Started

📌 After installing the mod, look at the top of your screen for the favorites bar.

Favorites bar actions

  • Teleport to a favorite — Left-click a slot
  • Edit a favorite / open tag editor — Right-click a slot
  • Lock / unlock a slot — Ctrl+left-click
  • Start drag and drop — Shift+left-click, then click the destination slot
  • Toggle bar visibility — Click the eye button
  • Open teleport history — Click the history button, or Ctrl+Shift+T

Empty slots stay available until you fill them.

Clicks: Right-click opens this mod’s tag editor; left-click on the map is vanilla editor. To teleport with this mod, left-click a filled bar slot (or use hotkeys).


Map Tags

Creating and editing

  1. Right-click anywhere on the map to open the tag editor
  2. Choose an icon and/or enter text (at least one is required)
  3. Click the star to add the tag to your favorites bar
  4. Click Confirm to save

You can also right-click a favorite on the bar or an existing map tag to edit it.

When using TeleportFavorites, think right-click — it opens this mod’s tag editor, not the vanilla map tag UI. Left-click on the map stays vanilla; the only mod-specific left-click for “go there” is a filled slot on the favorites bar (or hotkeys).

Teleporting

  • From the favorites bar: Left-click a filled slot
  • From the tag editor: Use the teleport button
  • Hotkeys: Ctrl+1 through Ctrl+0 teleport to favorites 1–10

You cannot teleport while you or your vehicle are moving — come to a full stop first.

Ownership and permissions

  • Only the tag creator (or a server admin) can edit or move the tag
  • Anyone can favorite a tag and teleport to it
  • Ownership is tracked by player name for multiplayer consistency

Teleport History

⏮️ TeleportFavorites records teleport destinations (in Standard mode) so you can return to them later. Sequential mode instead records full hops (departure and destination); see Sequential History Mode.

What gets recorded

  • Teleports from the favorites bar (click or hotkey)
  • Teleports from the tag editor teleport button

What does not get recorded

  • Moving through history itself (previous / next)
  • Teleports from other mods or the console

Using history

  • Open the history window from the favorites bar or Ctrl+Shift+T
  • Click an entry to teleport there; the window can stay open for several jumps in a row
  • History is per player and per surface
  • Up to 128 entries; oldest entries drop off when the limit is exceeded

Keyboard shortcuts

  • Toggle history window — Ctrl+Shift+T
  • Previous entry — Ctrl+Minus
  • Next entry — Ctrl+Equals
  • First (oldest) entry — Ctrl+Shift+Minus
  • Last (newest) entry — Ctrl+Shift+Equals
  • Clear all history — Ctrl+Shift+Backspace (history window must be open)

Sequential History Mode (experimental)

In Standard mode, history is destination-only: each entry is where you arrived. In Sequential mode, history is full-hop: each teleport can add where you left from and where you went as separate steps so “Previous” can return you to your pre-teleport feet position. The mod portal summary calls this destination-only vs full-hop behavior.

Problem: 🤔 You teleport to a favorite, build elsewhere, then teleport again. In Standard mode, Previous might take you to an older destination, not the tile you stood on before the last jump.

Solution: Sequential mode pushes departure then destination onto the history stack when you teleport (subject to filtering below).

How it works

When you teleport in Sequential mode, two entries are added: first your departure position, then the destination. Ctrl+Minus once retu
