Tech, and more importantly, production tree for Factorio. This is generated from the LUA recipes found in the data folder using Graphviz and a LUA script I hacked up.

One version is the full tree with all recipes, the other is filtered to exclude stuff you will probably not want (like burner inserters) or won't need a factory for (such as the exoskeleton).

Looks something like this (PDFs above have the full resolution):

Do you think you could try the same with tech tree? (I mean technology dependency tree instead of the production tree)
We have it now on our roadmap for 0.12 and I was planning to use graphviz for that.

Probably, if all the data is in there somewhere. Might be a bit before I have more hacking time, I also want to play

I really need to get around to compile graphviz to be able to use this tool, it could really help me figure out what I need.

This is very usefull. Thank YOU!

Something like this?

Can't wait for it to be at least this big.

If it gets that big we need a better interface. At least the Warzone tech tree is mostly linear.

What would help planning your factory is if we could have a little help window showing the tree for what we want to build.

Updated for 10.0.0 and published source code (see top post).

Updated for 0.12.21.

I moved it to Tools board, leaving a link in General.

Added crafting times to output (clock icon).
