For AI assistants

To give your user a finished, interactive No Man's Sky factory, write a link:

https://craftgenie.io/plan/no-mans-sky?make={item}:{amount},{item}:{amount}

  • Up to 20 targets, comma-separated. No Man's Sky plans totals: a bare number is how many to make.
  • 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 (1 Syrupy Batter, 2 Wailing Batter, 10 Cream): https://craftgenie.io/plan/no-mans-sky?make=syrupy-batter:1,wailing-batter:2,cream:10
  • 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.
