We derive a minimal set of Feynman rules for the loop amplitudes in unitary models of closed strings, whose target space is a simply laced (extended) Dynkin diagram. The string field Feynman graphs are composed of propagators, vertices (including tadpoles) of all topologies, and leg factors for the macroscopic loops. A vertex of given topology factorizes into a fusion coefficient for the matter fields and an intersection number associated with the corresponding punctured surface. As illustration we obtain explicit expressions for the genus-one tadpole and the genus-zero four-loop amplitude.
