Schedule 1 Reverse Recipe Generator

A Python tool that programmatically generates all possible combinations of recipes listed in Schedule 1, then prints them to a file.

📜 Project Status

• Current Status: The tool is functional, but not yet optimized for performance.

  • The recipe generation and deduplication processes are split into two separate scripts: recipies.py and dedupe.py.

• Known Issues:

  • The deduplication script (dedupe.py) is not fully functional and may not work as intended.
    • However for testing purposes, it can be run on a small set of ingredients to verify its functionality.
  • The code does not currently deduplicate recipes that result in the same effects all in one script.
  • The script may take a long time to run, especially with large ingredient sets.
  • The tool consumes significant memory and CPU resources.

• Planned Improvements:

  • Optimize the code to reduce runtime and memory usage.
  • Merge the two scripts into a single script for better usability.
    • Handle deduplication as new recipes are generated to avoid excessive file sizes.

🔧 Features

• Generates every valid combination of Schedule 1 recipes.
• Outputs all results to a CSV file.
• Includes calculated Price, Profit, and Cost for each recipe.
• Uses shorthand notation for drugs, interactions, and mixins to minimize file size.

📆 Requirements

• Python 3.7+
• No external dependencies (pure Python)

🚀 Usage

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/MilkshakesBot/reverse_calc.git
cd reverse_calc

2. Run the script:

python recipies.py

python dedupe.py

3. Find the output files in the project directory (e.g., CE_part1.csv, MH_part1.csv).

📁 Output

The tool generates files typically named:

<shortened_name>_part1.csv

Each line represents a unique recipe configuration based on the Schedule 1 data.

Note: With 8 ingredients, the output can exceed 100 GB in size and generate over 500 differnt csv files per drug before deduplication. Each file has 1 million recipies. There are a total of 3 billion recipies with 8 ingredients. Adding more ingredients causes exponential growth in file size and combination count. Ensure sufficient disk space and memory capacity.
