  • FactoryPlanner

    A mod for Factorio. Allows you to plan out your production in detail.

  • I've used a combination of three mods to help planning.

    Rate Calculator lets you select an already-built area and shows you its input and outputs, Factory Planner is pretty neat too with its matrix solver.

    Both of those in combination with the Blueprint Lab have been great. Build out the base of your factory in it, save a blueprint, then actually build in your map.

    These aren't really diagramming, but I hope they can help.

  • Foreman2

    Visual planning tool for Factorio

  • Foreman 2.0 https://github.com/DanielKote/Foreman2 is robust Factorio diagramming app. It's capable of creating rather large diagrams, such as this [1] one of an entire Seablock factory.

    Another one I like to use for quick diagramming is Factorio Lab [2], which is a web app.
