How to use

Step 1: Loading blueprints (one-time)

For the mod to work, you need to generate a blueprint data file. This requires Node.js.

  1. Open a terminal and navigate to the mod folder:
cd %AppData%/Factorio/mods/factorio-prints-browser_1.2.0/scripts
  1. Run the script:
node fetch-blueprints.mjs
  1. The script will download the top 500 blueprints from factorioprints.com and create the blueprint-data.lua file

Script parameters:
- --limit=1000 -- download more blueprints (default 500)
- --sort=date -- sort by date instead of popularity

Step 2: In-game use

  1. Launch (or restart) Factorio
  2. Click the "FP Browser" button in the upper left corner of the screen
  3. Browse blueprints, search by name, or filter by category
  4. Click "Import" "to cursor" to equip a blueprint, or "To clipboard" to copy it.

  • To update the blueprint database, you need to re-run the download script.

Source Code: This mod uses the public factorioprints.com database (Firebase) to download blueprints.
