rocketcal.cc: calculate the rocket launches needed to build a space platform blueprint!

[cellularmitosis]

Hey!

I wrote a little tool which calculates the rocket launches required to build a space platform.

Check it out! https://rocketcal.cc

Let me know what you think, or if you encounter any bugs.

Works great! ... it will be nice if we can have constant combinator with that what we need for the launches.
Dont know if you remove the 110 platform you have from the starter paket (100 set and 10 in storage) from the blueprint.
Or you have 110 to much in space (thats at least 2 rockets)
EDIT: I see you do calculate it correct!!!
I love it!

Hey I was thinking the same thing! Thanks for the suggestion.

I found a bug
(1) nuclear-reactor (1.0 kg)
it has 1000kg not 1

Oh thanks so much! I'll take a look

Thanks again, I found and fixed the bug. I've credited you in the changelog!

I had a bug in how I parse the item weight values from the game files data/base/prototypes/item.lua and data/space-age/prototypes/item.lua.

The items which affected spaceship blueprints were probably just nuclear-reactor and fussion-reactor, but in total there were 12 incorrectly parsed weight values, here's the complete diff:

This affected 33 out of the 159 blueprints which have been uploaded so far.

All of the cached rocket manifests have been regenerated (i.e. corrected).

Thx for all your hard work!

[cellularmitosis]

I added support for quality

The moduls for the assembler & Co are missing ...

Fixed! Thanks again for the bug report!

[cellularmitosis]

Also added "2x" icons for Retina/HiDPI displays.

Works great! ... it will be nice if we can have constant combinator with that what we need for the launches.

Heya! I just added not only a constant combinator, but also a "silo loader' which counts items. Here's the demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo1hlx9st48

If you just wonder why you website yesterday dies ... it was me (shame on me)
It had an infinity chest in the blueprint because i forgot to delete it first.
After i press sumit the website write an error, entity infinity chest not found and then it dont react anymore.

Sorry!

[DOSorDIE]

I love the new feature!!!
To even make it easier when we can remove the "full rocket" things and build it reverse.
So it need this and that ... 123 belts, 54 inserter, usw ...
so it remove all things that fill a full rocket ... so 23 belts and 4 inserter
send that manually up put the blueprint on and then acitivate the autobuild on the platform to send only the full rockets ...
so it will be even easier to build the space ship.
Dont know how complicate it is to manipulate the blueprints ... so its just an idea.

I believe there is a bug in this particular manifest: https://rocketcal.cc/5497a8fa235e476f17721f86989c1dc4

Particularly, launch #32 comes up to 960kg when loaded (light by 40 kg). The planner says 1000kg launch weight.
The manifest also does not include 2x rare gun turrets in the manual launches (is present in the combined manifest). I'd bet it is being counted for the weight of launch #32.

Happy to provide the original blueprint string, if that helps.
Thank you for this wonderful tool.

Ah sorry I didn't see this earlier, I'll take a look.

Haha, no worries, I'll take a look at that as well.

I implemented this, yay! But in the opposite order -- you do the full launches on auto first, then finish up with the remaining manual launches.

Found the bug! I'll push up the fix momentarily
