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.
- Open a terminal and navigate to the mod folder:
cd %AppData%/Factorio/mods/factorio-prints-browser_1.2.0/scripts
- Run the script:
node fetch-blueprints.mjs
- The script will download the top 500 blueprints from factorioprints.com and create the
blueprint-data.luafile
Script parameters:
- --limit=1000 -- download more blueprints (default 500)
- --sort=date -- sort by date instead of popularity
Step 2: In-game use
- Launch (or restart) Factorio
- Click the "FP Browser" button in the upper left corner of the screen
- Browse blueprints, search by name, or filter by category
- Click "Import" "to cursor" to equip a blueprint, or "To clipboard" to copy it.
