- with or without productivity3 modules.
- I don't care about the cost of the factory.
- I don't care about the transportation cost of resources.
- I don't care about power, solar is free...

updated the file with oil data.
Did you know that launching 1 rocket with everywhere productivity modules 3 consumes 14190.2 crude oil.

the interface takes some getting used to (esp. the oil processing part) but it does work and is extremely handy for double checking calculations. it's the only factorio calculator that i've seen get calcs right when factoring in productivity modules.

It works since V0.12, you have to build the production line and the system is responsible for the calculation.

updated:
there was a pair a parenthesis missing. You need even less crude oil: 12521.7

That sounds better. My own calculator comes out to roughly 12.5K of crude oil per rocket.

My first try to blueprint a modular rocket base. My goal is to place a few of them on the map.
Later you could add a resources base to be the middle man between all the rocket bases and the mining operations.
In:
- water pipe
- oil train
- coal train
- copper ore train
- 2x iron ore train
Out:
- 3.5-4 min / rocket
Current bottleneck:
- Blue circuit production
note: I'm thinking about the 0.15 version: oil tanker train(in my head), 8>6 red circuit ratio(finished)
