Auto Research Circuit Generator

Queue research from the circuit network when science packs pile up (Factorio 2.1)

Queues every technology from game start: a rush for bots, worker robot speed and power armor, then the planets in order: Vulcanus, Fulgora, Gleba, Aquilo. Infinite research queues last: research productivity leads (it takes over forever once all twelve packs flow), the rest go cheapest first. A technology is eligible while the logistic network plus the reading lab hold every science pack it consumes.
The lab queues the first technology whose science packs all pass the threshold in the logistics network, checking every pack its research consumes. Drag to reorder.
Blueprint string
  • Place it so the roboport joins the logistics network storing your science packs.
  • No bots? Delete the roboport and red-wire chests, or belts with “Read belt contents” set to Hold (all belts), into the vertical combinator’s input.
  • Full tree: feed the left lab like any other lab; its contents add to the roboport’s network count, and it reports the research level as signal L.
  • Any lab works: “set research” applies to your whole force. Needs Factorio ≥ 2.1.
  • Full tree: the display panel beside each combinator lights its group signal once every pack in that combination is stocked.
