# Rocket Request
Rocket Request is a web app utility for the factory automation game, Factorio.
It shows you how to distribute items across your rocket silos,
aiming to minimize the number of required launches.
A first-fit-decreasing algorithm is used to calculate the distribution of
items into silos such that the sum of each silo's weight does not exceed 1000 kg.
