You should replace the word "Befehl" by "Anweisung". "Befehl" is for soldiers. "Anweisung" is for urban people.

Anweisung an Rechenanlagen zur Ausführung einer bestimmten Operation

Fits pretty well for what it is. "Anweisung" is too close to "instruction"/"briefing" for my taste.

Yes, "Befehl" is used in the lingo of computer programming/data processing as well as in that of the military. It means an order that has to be strictly followed, and in the military you will be punished for disobeying an order -- under martial law, refusing to obey an order has often brought about capital punishment. Then again, I'd argue that there is no big difference between soldiers and computers. Both are expected to blindly follow orders, even wrong orders --but the decisions are made by the programmer/the soldiers superiors.

In my opinion, "Befehl" is rather strong. However, without any context where this word would be used, I find it hard to say which translation would be more fitting. (Sorry, I generally use the English locale with all software although German is my first language, so this is the first time I've seen that word in Factorio.)
