Learn FACTORYIO-MACROS with Real Code Examples

Keep logic simple-executed every frame

Avoid long chains of nested conditions

Use timers instead of frame counters

Group related logic into fewer macros

Disable unused macros for performance

Macros run only inside simulation-no external risk

Cannot access OS or external files

Safe sandboxed environment

Good for student and training labs

No network exposure unless using external PLC drivers

Use tag viewer to track values

Enable simulation step-by-step mode

Monitor timers and macro output

Check collision and sensor events

Debug via visual feedback

Use consistent naming for tags

Group related logic together

Avoid long nested conditions

Document logic inside macro notes

Test edge cases in simulation
