Tutorial:Plan Your Factory

While playing Satisfactory, you'll need to build a pipeline of machines to produce a certain item. These pipelines can become quite complicated with all the different items to produce at different rates with different machines.
== Visual Plan with Diagrams ==
In order to visually plan your factory before you put in the effort to build it, you can use a simple library for diagrams.net to layout your production pipeline.
* Diagrams.net (formerly known as draw.io) https://www.diagrams.net
* Diagrams.net library, please feel free to contribute https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dU59D1vzXW-Yb76Oz_7-YHjKmvz1yh-E?usp=sharing
* Diagrams.net library including examples diagraml, read-only https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1oQQwq1sQSraeFwcVaVqvDkib4arQBlty?usp=sharing
=== Here's an example, planning a 3 GW power factory: ===
=== How to use the library ===
* Import the library into diagrams.net (draw.io): click "File" -> "Open Library..." and select the `Satisfactory.xml` file
* Drag items from the library to your diagram
* Right-click on an item and select "Edit Data..." to adjust the input and output rates, if needed
* Edit the multiplier number in the yellow circle to indicate how many machines you need
