Hello World! I built a logic solver for Arknights: Endfield (using Astro & React)

Hi Indie Hackers! 👋

I'm excited to share my side project: Endfield DB.

The Problem: I'm a huge fan of the upcoming game Arknights: Endfield. During the tech test, I noticed the factory building system was surprisingly complex. It features "circular production loops" (e.g., recycling empty bottles after crafting), which makes calculating efficiency with standard spreadsheets nearly impossible.

The Solution: I built a dedicated web app to solve this. It includes:

  • 🔄 Cycle Detection: An algorithm that handles recursive recipes without crashing.

  • ⚡️ Power Management: Tracks total kW usage for your planned grid.

  • 🏭 Facility Calculator: Tells you exactly how many machines you need.

Tech Stack: I wanted it to be blazing fast, so I chose:

  • Astro (for static site performance and SEO)

  • React (for the complex calculator state)

  • Tailwind CSS (for that gritty industrial look)

It's currently live, and I'm actively adding more data. I'd love to hear your feedback on the UI/UX or the calculation logic!

Thanks for reading! 🚀
