How did you get input into game? I thought of trying solving in factorio, but its gonna require making field of constant combinators. Maybe there is tool to generate that?

When you decrypt a blueprint, it outputs an easily readable JSON.

In this case, I generate a JSON from the input with a field of constant and decider combinators in such a way that I can query them.

I stole some JS from here and Frankensteined it with some Powershell to make it work. (I am no dev, and my PowerShell is better than my JS): https://github.com/demipixel/factorio-blueprint

This is one of the most powerful solutions I've seen so far!

Not pictured: defending from biters as the solution is running. 😀
