No Man's Sky Technology Layout Optimizer AI

This web application helps players of No Man's Sky design optimal starship layouts and multitool builds by automatically calculating the best module placement. It maximizes adjacency bonuses and supercharged slot usage to improve performance.

How the Optimizer Works

Optimizing a grid with over 479 million layout permutations is no small feat. The tool blends deterministic patterns, machine learning, and simulated annealing to deliver top-tier starship build and multitool layout suggestions in under five seconds.

• Pattern-Based Pre-Solve: Uses curated, hand-tested layouts for known configurations to improve adjacency bonuses.
• AI-Guided Placement: A TensorFlow model predicts optimal module placement when supercharged slots are present.
• Simulated Annealing: Final refinement phase to escape local optima and ensure the highest score possible.

Key Features

• Grid-aware optimization with support for supercharged and inactive slots
• Machine learning inference trained on 16,000+ historical grid layouts
• Advanced simulated annealing for layout refinement

Technology Stack

Frontend: TypeScript, React, Zustand, Vite, Tailwind CSS, Radix UI
Backend: Python, Flask, TensorFlow, NumPy, heuristic solvers
Deployment: Heroku + Cloudflare
