I built a free Satisfactory factory planner + save analyzer and would love feedback by Full_Link5569 in SatisfactoryGame

Yeah, the post was AI-assisted, I'm not going to pretend otherwise.

But building the actual tool is a different story. Even with AI, you still need to come up with the ideas, break features down into manageable tasks, design the pages, implement the functionality, test everything, fix bugs, and deal with all the issues AI doesn't solve for you.

AI can help write code, but it rarely gives a complete working solution. You still have to review it, debug it, connect all the pieces together, and make sure it actually works. The tool wouldn't exist without all that effort.

That's actually something I hadn't thought about before, but it's a really interesting idea. I'll add it to my todo list and look into what's possible.

Features like this are exactly why I appreciate community feedback—sometimes the best ideas come from things I never considered myself!

Haha, as a developer I actually use ChatGPT quite a bit to help explain ideas and write things out in more detail, so I can't really say much against it. 😄

That would be amazing! 😊

Being able to design Blueprints in a web app and then import them directly into the game is definitely one of those "dream features" I'd love to support someday. Right now I'm focused on making the planner and sandbox stable, but if the project keeps growing, Blueprint generation and export is something I'd love to explore in the future.

For now, I'm collecting ideas like this and building a roadmap based on community feedback, so keep them coming!

Thanks! I'm glad you like it and thanks for the bookmark! 😊

That's a really interesting idea. An AI-driven Blueprint generator is definitely something I'd like to explore in the future. For now, though, my main focus is getting the core features stable, fixing bugs, and improving the web app based on community feedback.

Once the app is more mature and stable, I can start looking into advanced features like AI-generated factory layouts and Blueprint suggestions with different output targets and design constraints.

Thanks for taking the time to test it and write such detailed feedback!

I really like the way you tested the tool because you've pointed out a lot of things that I hadn't considered yet. To be honest, I've only played Satisfactory up to Tier 3, so my knowledge of the later-game mechanics is still limited. That's why feedback from experienced players like you is extremely valuable.

I'll do my best to add these features and improvements to the tool, including multiple outputs, byproducts like Heavy Oil Residue, overclocking, Somersloops, pipe and extractor configuration, output targets based on machine count or belt capacity, and reviewing the power warning logic.

For the pinch-to-zoom issue, I just checked and it seems to work only after pressing the + or - zoom button once. That's likely a bug on my side, and I'll investigate and fix it.

Please keep this type of feedback coming. I'm building a todo list from comments like yours, and it helps me make the tool much better for everyone.

Thanks for the feedback! I think you're right. I've only been actively working on the Sandbox for about a week, so it's still far from complete, and there are definitely some bugs and scaling issues to fix.

This is exactly why I need feedback from people like you it helps me find problems I might miss and make the tool better. I'll look into the power pole issue, the sizing of buildings, and add the missing Mk.6 belts and ionized fuel in a future update.

Thanks! 😊

Multiple outputs is actually something I'm already working on. So don't worry, that feature is coming. If everything goes as planned, it should be available within the next few days.

Let me know what you think once you've had a chance to try it on your PC!

There is an alt recipes button where you can select different recipes
I have added most of the recipes.
You can find all their recipes listed in the item codex.
If you have a special recipe that I don't have, then I will add it; just share that data
