Satisfactory Factory Planning Utility
This is a command line utility written in Rust that helps you plan factories in Satisfactory.
Tell it what you want to create and at what rates, and it will tell you what machines and input resources you need in order to create those products at those rates.
Additionally, tell it what resources you have access to, and it will adjust its output to compensate. If you provide information on what rate you produce those resources, it can tell you how much you can make with those resources, and which resource is the bottleneck to your production.
Installation
Download the latest release zip, unzip satisfactory_factory_planner.exe and recipes.json to a folder, and run the executable from a command line.

Example Usages
-
satisfactory_factory_planner.exe "iron ingot: 120"- Figure out how much iron ore & how many smelters you need to produce 120 iron ingots per minute -
[.exe] cable- Plan a basic factory that produces 30 cables / minute (if no output rate and no input ingredient rates are provided, the rate produced by 1 machine is assumed) -
[.exe] "modular frame: 10" "copper ingot, reinforced iron plate"- Plan a factory that produces 10 modular frames / minute, taking into account that you already have infrastructure to produce copper ingots and reinforced iron plates -
[.exe] "encased industrial beam" "steel ingot: 60, concrete: 90"- Figure out how many encased industrial beams you can produce, if you are producing 60 steel ingots and 90 concrete per minute -
[.exe] "motor: 5" "iron ingot: 60"- Determine if you are able to produce 5 motors / minute, given you have access to only 60 iron ingots / minute. If not, the reported output quantity will be lower. (in this case, you will see a result for a factory that only produces ~2.67 motors / minute) -
[.exe] "motor: 5, heavy modular frame: 10, cable: 50, plastic: 50"- See what kind of factory would be needed to produce the ingredients for a single manufaturer every minute
Further Usage Details
By default, the program will choose the first applicable recipe from recipes.json for each of the products it utilizes, and will use those to plan your factory. If you would like it to use alternative recipes, you can list the recipes in the file for a given product with --list-recipes, and then select that recipe's index for use in planning with --recipes.
Updating Recipes
The included recipes.json file was generated using the pair utility Satisfactory Recipe Importer, using the Docs.json file included with Update 8 of Satisfactory. For future updates, you may need to re-run the utility to get up-to-date recipes.

Other Notes
The recipe information the program draws from is contained inside recipes.json. Currently, the file contains all recipes availabe within the game as of Update 8. This includes all alternative recipes. Additional recipes, if you like, can be added by modifying recipes.json. This is left as an exercise to the user :).
If the game updates with new recipes, you can try running the Satisfactory Recipe Importer to automatically generate a new recipes.json file for the updated version of the game.
I hope you enjoy using my program!~ ❤️
