Planning production chains

[Sunshadow]

Is there a way to plan the base layout in advance? At the beginning it is very difficult to figure out a good layout because of so many inputs of some buildings.

There is no planner per se. The game is basically plan as you go because you have trees, and mountains in the way and you can fill in water areas to give you more flat land. As you gain experience it gets easier to plan things.

my best advice is to look at what you need and what it takes to make it then from there you can plan how many of what building in the chain you will need. That said always have everything feeding into storage's as you build out making sure you have drivable access to them.

Yeah.. I know it's an old post I'm adding too, but others may well be in the same boat as me...

Don't know if you've seen this. But it's so bloody handy, as you can work out your production chain advance and then whatever you need to make in the game.
Then it's simply a case of laying it out to make it run as smoothly as possible within whatever land you have.
It's simple to use to look up either input, or output, and add it to the onscreen layout area to see what you need to do to create it.

I've only just started to play the game during the past week, and kept grinding to a halt as production kept stalling on certain items.
This lays it out so you can see what you actually need and in what order to achieve it

All you do is look up whatever you need to either input or output for production and it creates a flow chart of what you need.

Works for me. 👍🏼 Hope it helps you out.

It's a few years old, but looks to have all products and chains in the game, from what I can see, as I'm nowhere near the end of the game. So for me it's onward and upward...

Either link will work
