YAFC can be invoked via command line:
yafc PROJECT_FILE DATA_DIR MODS_DIR [expensive]
-
PROJECT_FILE: The path to the project file that should be opened. -
DATA_DIR: The path to Factorio's data directory containing game data. -
MODS_DIR: The path to Factorio's mods directory containing additional game modifications. -
expensive: An optional parameter to use expensive variants of recipes. If provided, the program will use expensive recipes. If not provided, the normal recipe cost is used.

yafc my_project.yafc "C:\Factorio\data" "C:\Factorio\mods"
To open the same project file with expensive recipes:
yafc my_project.yafc "C:\Factorio\data" "C:\Factorio\mods" expensive
