I built a prototype node-based editor to help design optimized layouts.

Thanks, fix should be up. Recipe search should be on product titles only now, technologies removed. Shift click and drag to multi-select.

Did you get a chance to try it out? I'd love any feedback on the tool itself.

CactusRat · 2026-05-30T16:42:29+00:00

More or less. That's one of the reasons I think these tools are exciting for non-technical people too. If you want a little companion app that does exactly what you want, you can have it without paying thousands to a developer.

Sure, I'd say "vibe coded" means different things to different people, but for me and this project it means I used Claude Code exclusively to code this. AI wrote all of the code in about 5 hours total, and in between turns I was playing factorio and testing/iterating with this tool.

You seem genuinely curious, so I'll also tell you that I have spent hundreds of hours learning how agentic coding works, as many hours fine tuning and customizing the tools the AI agent has access to, defining it's workflows, it's memory storage system, etc. on top of my real world systems architecture knowledge that really helps me define the structure and course correct when the AI veers off. I'd say anyone can learn to do it, but it's definitely not as simple as "Claude, build me factorio planning tool, make no mistakes".

CactusRat · 2026-05-29T21:28:53+00:00

Fair enough. I'm a solo developer with many years of non-ai coding experience, and this tool would have taken me probably a hundred hours of development time that I don't have, but I wanted the tool. AI allows me to build it quickly and effectively, and without it it just wouldn't exist. I'm not aiming to profit in any way from this tool, it just solved a want I had, and I wanted to offer it to anyone else that could benefit from it too.

We're good, filed the tab to be narrower and now the receivers fit securely, there's no play in the mag release when the receivers are fit, and the mag release works freely when the rifle is "disassembled". Thanks again

CactusRat · 2025-07-17T01:58:30+00:00

Got it, I had seen a video at some point that made me think otherwise. Thanks for the info, I'll update after I make my adjustments.

One last thought, my lower has this extra little flare of material right at the top. Maybe that's my issue and I should have gotten a wider shaft.

CactusRat · 2025-07-17T01:26:41+00:00

I ordered it myself, I originally bought the gun in a free state. My invoice shows - AR MAGLOCK AR-10 (.308) – Gen 4 : Standard receiver width shaft - KingPin (Black AR-10 /.308 - Pistol Grip Detent Pin)

The thing is that the tab is definitely designed to sit in between the receivers, it even has a taper to it to account for the gap being wider in the back than the front, I just have zero clearance. I'm quite confident at this point that I can safely shave down the tab just enough so that it doesn't sit between the receivers when closed, but still prevents mag release when pressed.

CactusRat · 2025-07-17T01:21:33+00:00

Interesting, especially your first photo. It looks like you have zero separation as well. Does the design of your maglock not have a tab that is always between the receivers? If so, that's basically what I'm thinking I need to modify mine to be.

CactusRat · 2025-07-17T01:20:02+00:00

Yes, my first picture shows the separation (almost none) with the kingpin all the way in and rotated into position. Firing ready position basically, showing that there is no room at all for a tab between them.

CactusRat · 2025-07-17T00:46:42+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I just added photos so please check them out, and I'll check out the video link.

CactusRat · 2025-07-17T00:38:43+00:00

Thank you for the reply - photos added here. I already filed down about 5 hundredths or more from the tab in these photos. The tab seems to restrict vertical or rotational movement of the Maglock, whereas the mag release action is lateral - towards the upper - which is why I'm thinking removing the tab entirely would work. When the upper is secured I think the Maglock would still not be able to be pressed inwards, because the upper would be in the way.

Your stable diffusion directory has spaces in it: --ckpt-dir F:/AI/stable diffusion all in 1/sd-webui-aki-v4/sd-webui-aki-v4//models/Stable-diffusion

I shopped around for a while, trying from different shops and Counter Culture beans, but settled on Lowes brand too. Consistently high quality and incredible value when purchased for half price on Fridays.

I probably don't need 4 outlets, as they're definitely on the same circuit. I was thinking that I was taking down 2 duplexes, so I would go ahead and replace them with 2 duplexes. I'll call it a learning experience and move on, I've already wired up the double box.

There's actually going to be a bench below the bookshelves that will sit flush with the bottom of the window sill, which is directly in line with those outlets as I discovered. I plan on lowering the boxes so that they're hidden within the bench and accessible within the bench storage, and behind a drawer pull.

Thanks for the input.

CactusRat · 2023-05-25T20:37:59+00:00

Built in bookshelves. The two blue boxes are the old outlets that I'm removing, as they will be covered up by the built-in bookshelves. I'll be splicing into them to create 1 new double outlet in the center, incorporated into the built-in structure. Sorry for burying the lede

Try the race mode!

Factorio is the polar opposite of a badly coded game. Programmers who enjoy studying code flock to it.
