Factorio – Visualizing construction material dependencies

There are several Factorio dependency trackers and calculators already. Importantly, there are several mods that make the vanilla game's graph look like child's play.

The real innovation was just teased at the end. Balancers (systems of belts and splitters than evenly distribute the contents of n belts to m belts) are tricky to get right and compact and so far as I know are only human-designed. A mechanism to automatically design them would be very interesting.

You're in luck! There is a SAT solver for finding the optimal belt balancer for any size (Though it might take a few months/years to compute)

Looking at the big one, I have an idea for a screensaver.
