Production spreadsheets - WIP

Hi, Ive made a spreadsheet that tells you how much of each resource you need to manufacture your products at various workforce levels. Idk how else to explain this so go have a look.

I've made this for personal use but decided to share it maybe it can help others.

The reason I made this sheet is because the game doesnt tell you how much you need of each resource, globally. An example is this, (numbers are arbitrary), to make 20 Petrochemicals the game will tell you that you need X amount of crude oil which is fine, great, what it doesnt tell you is how much you need total among all of your factories and products.
In order to find out how much you really need, you need to do the math, go in every factory that needs oil and sum up all the numbers so you know how much you really need.

If you dont do the math, you will either overproduce stuff (which means waste of money) or underproduce stuff which means you wont be operating at full efficiency which means losing potential income.


Anyway, so far the spreadsheet only contains Mobile Phones and Digital Wallets but i will be adding more products in time as i make them myself. I will not add every product in the game ...

Hope this helps people.

This is what I want to see in my games when looking at the Resource Inventory:

I have 2 factories making 250 phones each (500 total) and in 2-3 years of running this, my inventory isnt overflowing with overproduced stuff and im running at full efficiency meaning im making 500 phones a day :)

I do however suggest you store at least twice the amount of resources you need as fluctuations happen which leads to lower efficiency.
