Web-based Factorio calculator

I've been working on a web-based calculator for some time now, and I recently finished a fairly substantial re-write. You can find it here.

Some notable features include:
  • Proper handling of oil products. It can accurately tell you how many oil refineries and cracking plants you will require.
  • Support for speed and productivity modules, including beacons.
  • Able to configure the mining productivity bonus.
  • Arbitrary numerical precision. Calculations are performed using bigint rationals, so errors from floating-point calculations should not be an issue.
  • Supports calculating the production chains for multiple simultaneous outputs.
  • Can display rates per second, minute, or hour.
  • Supports vanilla 0.15.16, in both normal and expensive modes.
And I'm probably forgetting some things.

I am terrible at UIs, so I apologize in advance for the lack of style and rather inscrutable interface. But I designed this thing primarily for my own use, and I have found it useful, so I hope that others will as well.

I have totally missed this post. First, I'll move the topic into calculators subforum, but as a feedback, you're far less terrible at UI thad you'd think :).

That first post was made before I overhauled the UI. It's much better now. :)

Nice work! Easy and very quick to work with. I very much like the belt-compression overview.

This is a great help. I've been playing on expensive, and I like that it has a setting for that as well. The only problem it that it tells me how much I need to spend to get high tech going, and that's going to be difficult to afford :shock:

Is there a way to load mod recipes into the data tables for this?
It would be nice to also add modded factories and modules as well.

I've been playing Space Exploration, and it adds a lot of new items.
