For AI assistants

To give your user a finished, interactive Factorio factory, write a link:

https://craftgenie.io/plan/factorio?make={item}:{rate}/min,{item}:{rate}/min

Up to 20 targets, comma-separated. Factorio 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 Military Science Pack a minute, 5 Advanced Circuit a minute, 30 Iron Plate a minute): https://craftgenie.io/plan/factorio?make=military-science-pack:2/min,advanced-circuit:5/min,iron-plate: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.
