This package provides a framework to import and test belt balancers from the game factorio.
It is able to check a blueprint for belt input and output balance, full throughput on regular use, and throughput unlimitedness. It fully supports all vanilla belt types, sideloading and priority splitters (currently ignores filters)
A website for balancers with this program integrated coming soon at factoriobalancers.com
You can use the balancer_test command to use the main balancer
testing tool on the command line.
$ balancer_test -h
usage: balancer_test [-h] [-f FILE] [-nb] [-t] [-s] [-es] [--string STRING]
[--silent]
Test a balancer configuration for its properties
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f FILE, --file FILE The file from which to read the blueprint string
-nb, --nobalance If for any reason you don't want to test the balance
of the balancer
-t, --trickle Performs a balance test using belts that are not full
-s, --sweep Performs a throughput test on all combinations where
exactly 1 or 2 inputs and outputs are used
-es, --extensivesweep
Performs a throughput test on all combinations of the
same number of inputs and outputs
--string STRING The blueprint string to parse
--silent Tell the script not to write intermediate data to the
screen. Note: this prints raw function results on exit
that are very user-unfriendly.
