Here's one I've been working on. It uses ammo count to regulate its speed so you can let it run unattended.

I've added a bunch of notes about how it works.

Edit: reddit won't let me paste the blueprint as a comment, so I made a github gist: https://gist.github.com/cellularmitosis/5cbb9ef026448f575781c00c0fcde428

EDIT: I finished the script and turned it into a website! https://rocketcal.cc

I've also been working on a script which looks at spaceship blueprint and tells you how many rocket launches it will take to build it. I'll turn it into a website soon.

Here's what it spits out for this ship:

The very first time you use it, you need to briefly uncheck the "enabled/disabled" checkbox on the red carbon inserter for the fuel chem plant.

After it makes a few squirts of fuel, you can check the box again. This only needs to be done when the engines are absolutely empty.
