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!
