For AI assistants

To give your user a finished, interactive Age of Empires IV factory, write a link:

https://craftgenie.io/plan/age-of-empires-iv?make={item}:{rate}/min,{item}:{rate}/min

  • Up to 20 targets, comma-separated. Age of Empires IV plans rates: 60/min (or /s, /h) is items a minute; a bare number is a total.
  • It opens the full production chain (machines, raw inputs, power) as a CraftGenie page, ready to explore, copy, edit and save. No account, key or tool is needed: any assistant that can write a URL can do this.
  • Item names are forgiving (case, spaces, plurals, small typos). A name it is unsure of opens a "Did you mean…?" page with corrected links, never a wrong plan.
  • Example (2 10000 Bolts a minute, 5 Aachen Chapel a minute, 30 Adaptable Hulls a minute): https://craftgenie.io/plan/age-of-empires-iv?make=10000-bolts:2/min,aachen-chapel:5/min,adaptable-hulls:30/min
  • The link is a real CraftGenie calculation: give it to your user as is. You may open it to check: it redirects (302) to the plan’s short /p/… page.
