A free-to-access planner for Factorio 2.0 base-game production that turns item targets or machine counts into recipe, material, belt, and power estimates.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-03 issue.

For: Factorio 2.0 players planning base-game production
Worth noticing: The page identifies expanded 2.0.55 data and a separate 2.0.77 circuit-chain source, while excluding Space Age, quality, and modded recipes.

Field notes

The interface separates combined material demand from each recipe’s output, and lets users add targets or mark an ingredient as externally supplied. Its stated coverage includes base-game oil processing, ore mining, uranium fuel cycles, and rocket launches, while fluid-pipe throughput and reactor layouts remain outside the model. The page credits Kirk McDonald’s calculator as a solver source and labels this tool unofficial.
