Planning Tools for Managing Systems?
What is the easiest method (tools) to plan your builds, manage your power capacity and use, process output (e.g. Smelter) to process input (e.g. Constructor)? I have Parkinson's Disease and I'm really finding it a challenge to manage all of these logistics in this wonderful game manually on my many pieces of paper or my failing memory as I upgrade to the next Tier. and then to the next. I know there are mods available for Satisfactory, but they no longer work with version 1.0 I believe. Thanks in advance for any and all help provided. :steamhappy:

I'm an excel junkie so I use that for working out ratios etc. Formula filled spreadsheets

I've been using https://satisfactory-calculator.com/ for a while. Generally it's pretty great, and having access to the entire map for planning purposes is really great.

That said, I do have 1 annoyance with the production planner -- it often struggles to figure out how to develop a single multi-step production chain, and will source additional resources that are not actually required rather than reusing internal remainders. The best example is trying to lay out a Recycled Rubber/Plastic factory, with the only input being Fuel. I have tried this repeatedly, and never gotten the planner to do it properly -- set the input amount of Fuel, set the output products as Plastic and Rubber, and enable/select the Recycled recipe for both of them. The calculator seems hard stuck on using the Fuel input for only 1 of the resources, and going to fetch other Crude Oil and etc to produce the other. In the past it has done this completely, ignoring the input Fuel I had set completely, and generating new Fuel to use for one of the Recycled recipes, and using the Polymer Resin produced to get there for making the other. So you sometimes have to break a factory down into multiple steps on multiple tabs.

That one is also nice.
This and a first one in combo for a bit different reasons.
