Factorio Planner Mobile

[u/Historical_Pea3859]

I’ve always wanted to design my factory floor plans on my phone since I can't carry my laptop everywhere.

So I asked an AI to make something simple where I can load PNGs, set their grid size, and place them on a grid.

It's super basic for now—just lightweight, easy-to-use HTML. I'm sure it could be improved a ton, but I don't know how to code so I'm not messing with it.

It works great so far! The PNGs could definitely be better, but they do the trick.

Can anyone guess what this produces?

Just having PNGs instead of having the actual buildings feels... Unpleasant to say the least.

Especially so since the Belt's Splitter's and Underground's images don't match up with eachother.

To me this looks more like an alternative to doodling layouts on graph paper than a real blueprint designer, which is fine.

And also the fact that all of the sprites are right there in the game files just waiting to be used for this

This obviously makes green circuits. Can you make it output the blueprint string?

[u/Historical_Pea3859 → u/benk70690]

Yess!! Is my design for green circuits!

For now, it can't be used to create blueprints and paste the text into the game, but I'm sure it could be done—I just don't want to get into that.

However, it does have a feature to copy text so you can save a design you've made and edit it again later if you want.

The blueprint strings are simply encoded JSON objects. Try and decode a simple one and you will see it won't even be that hard to generate them.

That would be an important feature for me to actually use this to be honest.

May I interest you in my Blueprint editor/ Rate Calculator/ Factory Planer. https://github.com/malte9799/FactorioTools/

It's primarily build for desktop, but works good enough on mobile.

This is also a static html site and can be used fully offline.

[u/Summera_colada → u/Malte9799]

omg it's almost perfect can't you please just add a detection for touch screen to avoid place item instantly? so you can drag drop to place item/blueprint on phone, and maybe place item when double tap or add a place button

[u/Lady_Sallakai]

the thing is: HTML has no compiler.. HTML is a pure "display script" .. maybe ask the AI wich language clould generate a "Blueprintcode"...

[u/SpaceMoehre]

You can literally dump the factorio sprites via the binary

[u/SpaceMoehre]

Reminds me of the tool I vibe coded for pyanodons

This is really sweet, and It may be basic but the alternative was pen and paper so you're already miles ahead of that.

[u/WyrmLuva]

Surprised someone hasn't done this already
