VOLPEDIA / ORIGINAL FACTORIO TOOL
Production Rate Planner
Estimate the minimum number of machines required to produce a given number of items per minute. Enter the recipe and machine data from your own Factorio save.
No login or external servicesSupports base game and Space Age, with user-supplied values
Machine count calculator
Use the recipe's base crafting time and output per craft. Enter the effective crafting speed shown for the machine configuration, accounting for modules and beacons. For a simplified productivity estimate, enter the productivity bonus as a percentage. This does not simulate all special productivity mechanics.
MINIMUM MACHINE COUNT
1 machine
Output capacity per machine: 120.00 items/min. Your target needs 0.50 machines before rounding; after rounding, theoretical capacity is 120.00 items/min with approximately 50.0% utilization.
Assumptions and limits. This models constant production with supplied inputs, continuous power, enough inserter/belt throughput and no downtime. It does not infer recipe values, fluid throughput, quality probabilities, mining depletion or 2.1-specific beacon effects. To calculate required input rates, multiply each recipe ingredient by the crafts per minute needed; examine the actual machine and recipe in your save before using the result.
