Factorio Benchmark Runner

A configurable benchmarking system for Factorio maps.

Shout out to abucnasty, I highly recommend to check his channel on youtube, who introduced benchmarking of Factorio to me.

How It Works

1. ✅ Install Python 3.12.6+ and run install_env.bat to set up the virtual environment

2. 📦 Place .zip benchmark maps inside a subfolder in benchmarks/

3. ⚙️ Create or modify .cfg files in the config/ folder to adjust benchmark settings

4. ▶️ Run the script with your desired folder and optional config HOW TO USE HERE

5. 📈 Results will be stored as .csv files in the same benchmark folder

6. 🔧 ticks controls benchmark duration (e.g. 3600 ticks ≈ 1 in-game minute)

7. 📁 Factorio mods can be managed at: %APPDATA%\\Factorio\\mods\\
