Source version, supported systems & project templates
base 2.1.20 · FactorioLab snapshot
Historical FactorioLab base 2.1.20 snapshot. Space Age, quality, recycling, spoilage, probabilistic uranium processing, and furnace fuel are unsupported; source cycle time is not verified machine throughput. A separate steady-state flow view follows deterministic recipe ratios, joint outputs, and loops from the selected source data, with base machine counts where provided. It is source-based planning rather than gameplay verification and excludes modules, clock changes, fuel, and unlock effects.
