FactorioBin is a quick, easy way to share Factorio blueprints. Think of it as a replacement for Pastebin. Pastebin has a bad habit of randomly deleting or restricting Factorio blueprints, so it's time for an alternative that won't delete your blueprints unprovoked.
I offer FactorioBin to the community free of charge, and run it in my spare time and with my own money. Please help me keep it that way by not trying to abuse the service.
This website should not be your only backup of blueprints. Please make sure you've saved your own copy of your blueprints as text files. A good place to back those up are services like like iCloud/MS OneDrive/Google Drive/Dropbox.
FactorioBin is an unofficial fan-made service and is not operated by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Wube (the creators of Factorio).
!blueprint / !bp command on Reddit/Discord)Got a post URL and trying to get some info about it? Save yourself the scraping and try this instead:

I'm planning on keeping FactorioBin focused on being the easiest way to turn a blueprint into a shareable URL. There's lots of other venues like forums, Discord, Reddit, etc where you can share that link and talk about the blueprints you have made.
I don't plan on adding things like search, tagging, comments, accounts, etc.
