Hello @ all,

I was always manually calculating the required fabs for a certain amount of units I want to produce per minute. Because I don't like Excel sheets and wanted to have a quick response I programmed a small comand line utility.

You can download it at github https://github.com/MaxSagebaum/Factorio ... tag/v0.2.1. In the folder binaries/linux64 is a executable that should work on all linux systems. I will try to provide a version that runs under windows on the next weekend.

A simple example and how to compile the tool by yourself is described in the readme file of the project.

For a fast inserter the output of the program is:

It can also produce dot files that can be rendered with graphviz

./build/FactorioViewer power-armor-mk2 -d -g > test2.dot

For large chains the output gets quite large:

The '-g' option can be used to summarize the nodes:

If you e.g. know how to produce electronic circuits then you can also define these as base ingredients:

It works already quite nicely but I want to improve on it after I finish my thesis.
One big thing on my TODO list ist to add language support and add the pictures to the dot output.

If you have any suggestions, bugs or other comments I am happy to hear about them.

Ok now there are also windows binaries included at: https://github.com/MaxSagebaum/Factorio ... tag/v0.2.1 in binaries/win32 (Visual Studio Express lets you only build 32 bit binaries)

If you get an error like "could not load vcruntime140.dill" you have to install the c++ redistributable package. You can download it at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... x?id=48145. Make sure to select the x86 (32-bit) binaries even if you have 64-bti system.
If you wonder that the programs does nothing. It is a command line application. So if you just double click it, a command window opens and is closed directly after the program finishes.

In order to get a terminal at the correct location:

Code: Select all

Open the folder with the executable in the explorer.
Click once in the navigation bar so that the folder text is selected. Press 'ctrl+c' in order to copy it.
Press the windows button and enter 'cmd' press 'enter'.
A command prompt should be open now.
Enter there 'cd ' (do not forget the space) and right click in the window and select paste. After that press 'enter'.(Windows 10 users might be able to just press 'ctrl+v' in order to paste.(I still run windows 7))
You should be now in the directory where the 'FactorioViewer.exe' is located. (Type 'dir' + enter to see the files in the directory)
Type 'FactorioViewer.exe fast-inserter' + enter to get your fist output.
The default width of the terminal in windows 7 is just 80 character. You can increase that by installing a proper bash or by right clicking on the top bar of the command line and going to 'Properties->Layout->Screen Buffer Size->Width'

Hope you have fun with the tool
