total ingredient calculator

Post by inefficient »

Hey folks,

I spend a few hours to make a total ingredient calculator. Happy to share the result:

You can just use the constant combinator and add whatever you want and it calculates all the ingredients that are required throughout the entire crafting tree. It has a module in there that corrects for crafts that result in multiple items automatically. For example, if you were to request 8 uranium fuel cells, it will give you the ingredients for one craft, because one craft results in 10 cells. If you request 11, it gives the ingredients for 2 crafts and so forth. The book contains a lobotomized version of the machine that illustrates the logic that I use.

It should work, checked it against some published websites (https://kirkmcdonald.github.io/calc.htm ... ircuit:f:1).

Planning to use this now to make a programmable make me anything machine...

Enjoy!

Can analyse all things now. If you want to have an assembler in there that is not the foundry, just replace the foundry with your assembler of interest, reconnect it, and put in the recipes that cannot be crafted in the assembling machine into the combinator to the left.
