ADA

I am ADA, also known as Artificial Directory and Assistant, tasked to support pioneers, such as you, in their mission.

~ ADA

ADA is a Discord bot for the Satisfactory video game.

Invite to Server

With ADA, you can browse information about items, recipes, and buildings within Discord. You can also ask ADA to calculate an optimal production chains and produce visualizations.

ADA is also available as a command line tool.

Query Syntax

Information Query

Provides information about items, buildings, and recipes in the game.

Query Syntax

Notes

• Regexes can be used when specifying items, recipes, and buildings.

Examples

• /ada iron rod: Information about iron rods.
• /ada recipe iron rod: Information about the iron rod recipe.
• /ada refinery: Information about refineries.
• /ada recipes for iron rod: Browse all recipes for making iron rods.
• /ada recipes from iron rods: Browse all recipes with iron rods as an ingredient.
• /ada recipes for refineries: Browse all recipes available in refineries.
• /ada recipes for iron.*: Browse all recipes for items whose name starts with "iron".
• /ada compare recipe iron rod: Compare the iron rod recipe against all other recipes for iron rods.
• /ada compare recipes for iron rod: Compare all recipes that produce iron rods.
• /ada ingredients for recipe iron rod: Browse all ingredients in the iron rod recipe.
• /ada products for recipe iron rod: Browse all products in the iron rod recipe.

Optimization Query

Finds an optimal production chain. Attempts to minimize inputs, maximize outputs, and adhere to any given constraints.

Query Syntax

Notes

• Alternate recipes are disabled by default. They can be enabled by adding alternate-recipes to the input clause. For example, /ada produce 10 modular frames from alternate-recipes.
• Only one objective ? can be provided in the entire query.
• If no inputs are specified, the optimizer will attempt to minimize unweighted resources. This is equivalent to an input of from _ unweighted resources.
• Using the only keyword in the output will prevent byproducts, but may produce an infeasible solution.
• Using the only keyword in the input will restrict the inputs for a specific category. For example produce ? power from only coal and water and coal generators will prevent any other items from being used as input besides coal and water because they both fall into the item category. However, it does not restrict the types of generators being used. To limit the inputs to only coal generators and prevent other generators from being used, add the only keyword in front of coal generators.

Examples

• /ada produce 60 iron rod: Produces exactly 60 iron rods while minimizing the input resources (evenly weighted).
• /ada produce 60 iron rod from ? unweighted resources: Same as above.
• /ada produce 60 iron rod from ? weighted resources: Similar to above, but weights resources by their frequency on the map.
• /ada produce 60 iron rod from ? iron ore: Produces exactly 60 iron rods while minimizing iron ore.
• /ada produce 60 iron rod from only ? iron ore: Produces exactly 60 iron rods from exclusively iron ore.
• /ada produce 60 iron rod from only ? iron ore and _ coal and alternate-recipes: Produces exactly 60 iron rods from exclusively iron ore and coal, but only minimizing iron ore. Alternate recipes are allowed.
• /ada produce ? iron rods from 60 iron ore: Produce as many iron rods as possible from 60 iron ore.
• /ada produce ? iron rods from only 60 iron ore: Produce as many iron rods as possible from exclusively 60 iron ore.
• /ada produce ? iron rods from only 60 iron ore and water and alternate-recipes: Produce as many iron rods as possible from exclusively 60 iron ore and water with alterate recipes allowed.
• /ada produce ? power from 240 crude oil and only fuel generators: Produce as much power as possible from only 240 crude oil only using fuel generators (no other generators allowed).
• /ada produce 60 modular frames without refineries: Produce exactly 60 modular frames without using any refineries, minimizing unweighted resources.
• /ada produce only ? iron rods from 10 constructors: Produce as many iron rods as possible from 10 constructors.
• /ada produce only ? iron rods from only 10 constructors and _ smelters: Produce as many iron rods as possible from only 10 constructors and however many smelters.

Hosting ADA yourself

⚠️ You do not need to host ADA yourself to use the bot. Use the link at the top of the readme to invite ADA to your server. These instructions are only for those interested in customizing ADA and/or hosting it themselves.
