The purpose of this program is to answer the question "How many machines of X do I need to support machines of Y?" First, select one or more products from the list on the left and click the add button. This will add that product to the factory which will calculate dependencies as well as raw materials, belts, and furnace required to fulfill the order. Some assumptions are made. Those are as follows:
For the purpose of calculation on oil products, all refineries are running in advanced oil processing mode and all products are being accounted for with no cracking. The crafting speed does not apply to raw materials or iron, copper, or steel plates. The assumption is that you are not beaconing or modding furnaces or miners for these calculations.
Efficiency: The efficiency of the calculation. 100% assumes constant uptime and always running, 50% would be running half the time, etc.
Number of Machines: The number of machines producing the product. IE. Iron Gear Wheel at 100 is 100 iron gear wheel machines.
Crafting Speed: The crafting speed of each machine. 1 gives pure ratios. Applies to all dependencies of this item
