A 'draftsman' is a kind of artist that specializes in creating technical drawings across many engineering disciplines, including architectural, mechanical, and electrical. Similarly, factorio-draftsman is a Python module for creating and editing blueprints for the game Factorio.

from draftsman.blueprintable import Blueprint, BlueprintBook
from draftsman.constants import Direction
from draftsman.entity import ConstantCombinator

blueprint = Blueprint()
blueprint.label = "Example"
blueprint.description = "A blueprint for the readme."
blueprint.version = (1, 0)  # 1.0

# Create a alt-mode combinator string
test_string = "testing"
for i, c in enumerate(test_string):
    constant_combinator = ConstantCombinator()
    constant_combinator.tile_position = (i, 0)
    letter_signal = "signal-{}".format(c.upper())
    constant_combinator.set_signal(index=0, signal=letter_signal, count=0)
    blueprint.entities.append(constant_combinator)

# Create a simple clock and blinking light
constant = ConstantCombinator()
constant.tile_position = (-1, 3)
constant.direction = Direction.EAST
constant.set_signal(0, "signal-red", 1)
constant.id = "constant"
blueprint.entities.append(constant)

# Flexible ways to specify entities
blueprint.entities.append(
    "decider-combinator",
    id="clock",
    tile_position=[0, 3],
    direction=Direction.EAST,
    control_behavior={
        "decider_conditions": {
            "first_signal": "signal-red",
            "comparator": "<=",
            "constant": 60,
            "output_signal": "signal-red",
            "copy_count_from_input": True,
        }
    },
)

# Use IDs to keep track of complex blueprints
blueprint.entities.append("small-lamp", id="blinker", tile_position=(2, 3))
blinker = blueprint.entities["blinker"]
blinker.set_circuit_condition("signal-red", "=", 60)
blinker.use_colors = True

blueprint.add_circuit_connection("green", "constant", "clock")
blueprint.add_circuit_connection("red", "clock", "clock", 1, 2)
blueprint.add_circuit_connection("green", "clock", "blinker", 2, 1)

# Factorio API filter capabilities

Overview

Simply put, Draftsman attempts to provide a universal solution to the task of creating and manipulating Factorio blueprint strings, which are compressed text strings used by players to share their constructions easily with others. Draftsman allows users to programmatically create these strings via script, allowing for designs that would normally be too tedious to design by hand, such as combinator computer compilers, image-to-blueprint converters, pumpjack placers, as well as any other complex or repetitive design better suited for a computer's touch.

For a user-friendly timeline of how this project came about, as well as some pretty illustrations of it's capabilities, you can read an article written for the amazing fan-run community spotlight website Alt-F4.

For more information on what exactly Draftsman is and does, as well as its intended purpose and philosophy, you can read the documentation here.

For more examples on what exactly you can do with Draftsman, take a look at the examples folder.

Features

Usage

Installation:

pip install factorio-draftsman

This will install the latest version of Draftsman with a set of pre-generated data from the latest version of vanilla Factorio.

If you want to have the same data validation that Draftsman provides for vanilla data with mods as well, you can re-generate this data with the command line tool draftsman-update, which is described in detail here.

Testing with unittest:

python -m unittest discover

Note that testing currently is only guaranteed to work with a vanilla install.

Coverage with coverage:

coverage run

How to use mods with Draftsman:

Determine where your mods are installed; you can either copy the mods you want into the local site-packages/draftsman/factorio-mods folder where Draftsman is installed (which it looks in by default), or you can specify an external path with the -p or --path argument which can point to your Factorio mods folder or anywhere else convenient. Then, simply call draftsman-update or draftsman-update --path some/path/to/mods to automatically update the data associated with that Draftsman installation.

draftsman-update can also be called in script via the method draftsman.env:update() if you want to change the mod list on the fly:

# my_update_script.py
from draftsman.env import update
update(verbose=True, path="some/path") # equivalent to 'draftsman-update -v -p some/path'

Both mod-info.json and mod-settings.dat are recognized by draftsman-update, so you can also just change the settings in either of those and the loading process will adjust as well.
