process-mgmt

Generates graphviz compatible graphs of processes and the interactions between them.

General usage tends to be a shell pipeline along the lines of:

f=path/with/config/base; node src/index.js factory-graph --config $f.json | tee $f.gv; dot -Tpng -O $f.gv

This uses the configuration at path/with/config/base.json to generate path/with/config/base.gv and path/with/config/base.gv.png

Data additions

Additional data sets should be accepted with very little problem as they are independent of one another.

Data sets SHOULD include a version identifier in the directory name so that people using different versions are not presented with misleading results.

Data sets CAN be exported and conveted to a compatible format.

Data sets SHOULD follow the format as generated by the scripts add_item.sh and add_process.sh, empty_data.json is a template that uses this structure.

Usage

Sample usage, for the full, current list of options, run node src/index.js

$ node src/index.js -h
index.js <command>

Commands:
  index.js all            generate a graph of all the processes
  index.js factory-graph  generate a graph filtered to producing a paricular item
  index.js factory-rate   generate a graph filtered to producing a paricular item; with factory counts.

Options:
      --version  Show version number                                   [boolean]
  -h, --help     Show help                                             [boolean]

All

$ node src/index.js all -h
index.js all

generate a graph of all the processes

Options:
      --version  Show version number                                   [boolean]
  -d, --data                                                 [string] [required]
  -h, --help     Show help                                             [boolean]

Generates a graph for every process included in the specified data.

Examples

$ node src/index.js all --data vt

Generates the entire production graph for the vt dataset.

$ node src/index.js all --data dsp

Generates the entire production graph for the dsp dataset.

Factory Graph

$ node src/index.js factory-graph -h
index.js factory-graph

generate a graph filtered to producing a paricular item

Options:
      --version  Show version number                                   [boolean]
  -c, --config                                               [string] [required]
  -h, --help     Show help                                             [boolean]

Examples

Config

{
    "data": "vt",
    "requirement": { "id": "tv", "rate": 1.25 },
    "imported": [ "copper_wire" ],
    "exported": [ ],
    "process_choices": { },
    "enable": [ ]
}

Command

$ node src/index.js factory-graph --config vt-tv.json

json key	Desciption
data	data set to use, in this case vt.
requirement.id	target to produce. Filters the data set to include this item as the final output
requirement.rate	unused for factory-graph
imported	list of item types that are imported to the sub factory. Supply of these items are functionally infinite.
exported	list of item types that are exported from the sub factory. Demand for these items are functionally infinite.
process_choices	mapping of item_id to process_id defining which process to use when there is a choice
enable	list of extra processes to include in the graph, e.g. to include dealing with side-effects

Factory Rate

$ node src/index.js factory-rate -h
index.js factory-rate

generate a graph filtered to producing a paricular item; with factory counts.

Options:
      --version  Show version number                                   [boolean]
  -c, --config                                               [string] [required]
  -h, --help     Show help                                             [boolean]

Examples

Config

{
    "data": "factorio-ab-01",
    "requirement": { "id": "brass_alloy", "rate": 60 },
    "imported": [
        "ingot_zinc",
        "ingot_tin",
        "ingot_copper"
    ],
    "exported": [ ],
    "process_choices": {
        "liquid_molten_brass": "angels_brass_smelting_2",
        "brass_alloy": "angels_plate_brass"
    },
    "enable": [],
    "modifiers": {
        "angels_plate_brass": {"speed": 1, "output": 1.3},
        "angels_brass_smelting_2": {"speed": 0.4, "output": 1}
    }
}

Command

$ node src/index.js factory-rate --config brass_alloy.json

json key	Desciption
data	data set to use, in this case factorio-ab-01.
requirement.id	target to produce. Filters the data set to include this item as the final output
requirement.rate	Sets the desired output rate for the requirement.
imported	list of item types that are imported to the sub factory. Supply of these items are functionally infinite.
exported	list of item types that are exported from the sub factory. Demand for these items are functionally infinite.
process_choices	mapping of item_id to process_id defining which process to use when there is a choice
enable	unused for factory-graph
modifiers	mapping of process to modifiers. Some games allow processes to be modified, e.g. Factorio allows for speed, productivity, and efficiency modules.
modifiers.speed	multiplier for adjusting the speed of a process. 1 indicates no change. (0-1) indicates a faster process. (1-n] indicates a slower process.
modifiers.output	multiplier for adjusting the quantity of outputs for the same input quantities. 1 indicates no change. (0-1) indicates less output for the process. (1-n] indicates more output for the process.
