anyone have the sector planer

[Fred]

Instead of building close end loop, i'm mostly building lone factory where there is a gap, input are stock pilled close with no one purchasing so easy to get for cheap, and output really in need so that i can sell for high price.

There use to be a excel or something like it that was call "sector planer" that was available online wich included all npc factory (with an option pre or post president end destruction). I've seen lot of forum talking about it, but can't find it anywhere anymore.

If anyone have it, that would be really kind of you.

actualy, thanks to wayback machine org, i ve just found it there: http://web.archive.org/web/20100125110454/http://www.lagerchurch.com/lordsuch/downloads.asp

scroll down and you'll find a pdf manual of the sector planner to download too,
and the microsoft .net framework v1.1 needed for it (more recent version aren't backward compatible) still have to see if it gonna work on window 8.1

I'll let you know if i manage to install everything succesfully

Well everything worked, i now just have to add my 31 factory already build and see from there what and where to build next.

And for those, who don't know where to start Akeela Beacon is a great place: there is lot of cheap energy with some primary ressources facility without first transformation anywhere close and second transformation (quantum tube and 25 MW shield) that need it.
So build a Rastar refinery, a Bogas chem lab, a Plankton farm, a Teladium sun oil ref., a Wheat farm.
You should be able to buy all input close to bottom price, and put sell price almost top (but don't bother to set a ship to sell: npc factory will come to you.
Once, you got all this set up, you'll start to see it get harder to get energy on the cheap, so add 1 SPP, and set a seller ship with 0 jump at something like 18 Cr. That way you'll supply the npc factory around before they go fetch the energy in the npc SPP & and you'll be able to continue to enjoy energy supply around 11 Cr, (and also at 18 Cr your SPP still turn profit anyway.)

I don't know if it does or not, but it's possible that after a while that the 25MW shield factory have 2 in stock, that there ain't any demand for your factory anymore, but since i need 3 of them for each factory BPH transport (or 2 if i use demeter instead of dolphin, wich is rare) i park a iguana there and remote buy them once in a while as they get produce and stock pile them in my elephant. Worste case, if you don't need them just go sell them into equipement dock. The profit from the factory will be higher then the cost of the 25MW coming out from it, so it's even better then free shield as those loop builder put it.

You should also use Logaans Company Value Script

"This script is simple, it will loop through all the sectors in the universe
and create a dump of this data into the logfile "log03500.txt"

You can load this file into the Sector planner.
Then all your factories are factored into the SP analysis.

I used it for my recent playthrough of X2.

message me your email and I will send it to you.

don't really need, i keep a excel spreadsheet of my factory with the lv of their BPH and the type of freigther they have, so on need i shuffle them around. (I place new guy lv 0 in the fab that i know i won't need a seller like secondary, at midway lv 4-5 i place them in crystal fab, and once lv 8 i place them in SPP)
