New version of the calculator that includes the Cradle of Humanity expansion is up and running.
Let me know if you find issues.

Thanks.

thanks for your great tool Crissian, been using it for getting rough numbers while building mega-complexes

if i may, there seems to be something going on with energy cells. slap in a 100 terran modules and the energy cell requirements go through the roof.

Honestely I didn't play CoH yet, but if I look in game files, this looks correct:

Computronic Substrate:

Code: Select all

<production time="600" amount="98" method="default" name="{20206,901}">
        <primary>
          <ware ware="energycells" amount="4000" />
          <ware ware="hydrogen" amount="2000" />
          <ware ware="ore" amount="3000" />
          <ware ware="silicon" amount="3000" />
        </primary>
        <effects>
          <effect type="work" product="0.1" />
        </effects>
      </production>
This means each 600 seconds, the Computronic Substrate needs 4000 energy cells, which is 24,000 per 3600 seconds.

aye sorry, maths make brain go hurt..

i'll admit my way of calculating was :- set number of wanted build-modules, add intermediates needed, click the plus sign till stuff went "green" (attempted closed loop)

Computronic Substrate seems to consume a boatload of ECells compared to others

haven't checked ingame yet, but i'll take your data for facts.

https://github.com/crissian/x4 once you contribute the data :) I honestly don't know if it's still an active project right now.

Is anyone else having a problem importing a construction plan (from the xml construction export files in-game)? I've tried it in three different browsers, but when I paste the xml data into the Station Calculator's import space, and hit the Import button, nothing ever happens. Just me, or are others running into that too?

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but it seems to not do Scrap Recycling or Processing correctly. I tried using this for setting up a scrap complex previously, and it never seemed correct.

Inputs should be scrap and ecells, outputs should be Hull Parts and Claytronics. And it doesn't seem to show correct ECell consumption either based on how many processors or recyclers you have... for a generic 100% sunlight system.

Also, I love your site, thanks for the hard work!

Thx for the update!

But. I noticed in the calculator that shows the Boron Oasis using food rations instead of BoFu.

Thank you for updating this website. I use it for almost all my station planning.
