SSEBPRC

SSEBPRC, short for Shagatan's Space Engineers Blueprint Resource Calculator, is a Next.js app for calculating Space Engineers blueprint resource requirements.

Live app: https://ssebprc.vercel.app

Repository: https://github.com/SamiKamara/SSEBPRC

What It Does

• Load a bp.sbc file or a zipped blueprint folder in the browser.
• Parse every CubeGrid and CubeBlocks entry from the blueprint XML.
• Count blocks by normalized TypeId/SubtypeId.
• Resolve block component requirements from bundled vanilla Space Engineers definition data.
• Resolve component ingot recipes.
• Apply a configurable assembler efficiency multiplier to ingot and ore totals, defaulting to 3x.
• Show unresolved blocks or components as warnings instead of failing the whole calculation.
• Copy result tables as two-column lists with Name and Count.

The app does not require an account. Blueprint files are parsed in the user's browser and are not uploaded to the host server. The heavier calculation code and bundled Space Engineers definition data are lazy-loaded only after a valid blueprint file is selected.

Tech Stack

• Next.js 15 App Router
• React 19
• TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS
• fast-xml-parser for blueprint XML parsing
• jszip for zipped blueprint loading
• Node test runner with tsx

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Run the local development server:

npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000.

Useful checks:

npm run lint
npm run typecheck
npm test
npm run build

Definition Data

The bundled definition pack was generated from a local Space Engineers install and includes official vanilla blocks plus official DLC block definition files found under Content\Data\CubeBlocks.

Regenerate the pack after a Space Engineers update:

npm run generate-definitions -- "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineers\Content\Data"

The generator writes:

• src/data/space-engineers/definitions-manifest.json
• src/data/space-engineers/vanilla-block-components.json
• src/data/space-engineers/vanilla-component-recipes.json

Before publishing generated vanilla data, confirm that redistribution is allowed by the relevant game and data licenses.

Deployment

The production deployment is hosted on Vercel at https://ssebprc.vercel.app.

To deploy manually from this repository:

vercel deploy --prod
