Verilog2factorio

This project will compile verilog (a hardware description language) into factorio blueprints. - Redcrafter/verilog2factorio

Verilog2factorio launched on April 25, 2021 with 313 votes, #50 of 3,754 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 5 years on.

In plain words

Verilog2factorio is a tool that converts Verilog hardware description code into Factorio game blueprints. It allows software engineers and hobbyists interested in both digital design and Factorio to automate the creation of complex in-game circuits by translating their hardware designs. The tool bridges two technical communities by enabling users to build elaborate logical systems within the game using familiar programming syntax rather than manual blueprint construction.

    I’ve built hardware projects for years, and the gap between “I want X” and “parts ordered, files ready to print” always took weeks. Modo compresses that. Describe what you want (e.g. “a portable CO2 monitor with a display and buzzer”) and it generates: - A bill of materials with real components (MPNs, not hallucinated parts) - A printable enclosure generated from actual part dimensions - Wiring diagrams, firmware boilerplate, and assembly instructions - Design validation (power budget, pin conflicts, mechanical fit) Everything streams in real time as each phase completes. The key idea is…
