Planning tools

Release countdown

Count calendar days to the announced Early Access date, without inventing an unlock hour.

Early access checklist

Prepare your PC, source bookmarks and a first-session observation list.

Needs coverage

Record the need checks you have actually completed. Checklist completion is not an in-game happiness score.

Happiness checklist

Separate basic needs, household wishes and unresolved observations before making changes.

Production chain browser

Explore sourced historical connections and inspect what produces or uses a selected entity.

Building browser

Filter announced and historical building records by name, role and evidence scope.

Settlement health check

Audit your observations of supply, jobs, storage and dependencies without inventing a health score.

Patch impact

Choose a sourced entity to see connected records and tools that need review when it changes.

Database search

Search published guides, available tools and sourced entity records with aliases and type filters.

Your measurements, useful answers

44 tools

Settlement site selector

Compare candidate sites using your own ratings and priorities. No fictional terrain or game-generated score.

Settlement planner

Keep a town plan with its purpose, known requirement and next action.

Layout planner

Sketch labeled zones on an abstract planning grid. Cells are notes, not in-game sizes or validated placement.

Build order planner

Arrange your own construction queue with a requirement and reason for every step. No unverified unlock order is supplied.

Settler needs planner

Match each household need to a supply source and record the remaining blocker.

Population planner

Calculate a population scenario from current settlers, planned arrivals and expected departures.

Housing planner

Estimate the homes needed using a capacity you have measured in your own build.

Workforce planner

Multiply planned workplaces by your chosen staff allocation. The result is a staffing budget, not optimal efficiency.

Worker allocation

Check remaining staff after explicit production, service and hauling assignments.

Worker shortage

Measure the arithmetic gap between planned positions and available workers.

Job planner

Record workplace assignments, staff requirements and the production each job supports.

Hauler planner

Estimate hauling staff from your measured load size, round-trip time and required hourly volume.

Production chain

Write down each stage of a chain, its inputs, output and observed constraint.

Production chain calculator

Calculate batch inputs from a target output and a recipe measured in your own build.

Production ratio

Calculate whole producer counts from measured demand and output per producer.

Throughput calculator

Convert a measured cycle output and duration into an hourly production scenario.

Bottleneck finder

Compare input, processing and delivery capacities expressed in the same finished-output units.

Resource requirements

Work backward from a required quantity to the number of recipe inputs to prepare.

Resource balance

Include production, consumption, imports and exports in one signed resource balance.

Resource surplus

Find the positive remainder after local use and committed exports.

Resource deficit

Find the extra supply needed after accounting for local production and planned imports.

Storage buffer

Calculate how many periods a measured stock lasts with no replenishment.

Warehouse planner

Estimate warehouse counts using your required storage and measured usable capacity.

Warehouse network

Record which stores serve each part of your network and where dependencies remain.

Building comparison

Compare two buildings using your own same-build costs, staffing, capacity and output observations.

Building upgrade roi

Calculate a simple payback period using entered cost and added net income in one currency.

Construction materials

Calculate one material requirement from a planned building count and observed unit cost.

Trade route planner

Estimate a route delivery ceiling using your measured capacity and completed trips.

Trade balance

Check whether a town’s entered import and export commitments leave its local supply balanced.

Multi settlement planner

Build a local surplus and deficit matrix, then propose quantity-conserving transfers between your towns.

Logistics planner

Check the shipment dependencies needed to cover each town’s recorded shortfall.

Import export matrix

Compare town-to-town transfers for one chosen good and a shared time period.

Expedition planner

Prepare an expedition record with destination, observed supplies, objective and readiness.

Scout priority

Order scouting questions by your own priority and note the observed prerequisite.

Poi tracker

Keep a field record of locations you have discovered and what remains to inspect.

Biome comparison

Compare two observed regions without inventing a fixed biome list or resource distribution.

Quest tracker

Record quest objectives and observed prerequisites without importing an unverified quest list.

Settler roster

Keep household and job notes for settlers you have observed in your save.

Whim tracker

Track household requests, their requirements and your observed outcomes.

Economy dashboard

Review local and regional balances for a chosen good using measurements from your save.

Daily needs calculator

Scale a per-person daily need that you measured to the population you enter.

Production dashboard

Compare entered town output with demand and identify where additional supply is needed.

Settlement comparison

Compare two town scenarios using your own observations and decision criteria.

Version compare

Compare two JSON field snapshots and find additions, removals and changed values.

Awaiting verified data

5 tools

Journey unlock planner

A prerequisite-aware Journey planner is held until a verified current-build unlock tree is available.

Effect-based specialization recommendations await verified identities, unlocks and effects.

Citizen role comparison

A verified role comparison needs exact requirements and effects, beyond announced official names.

Event outcome explorer

Outcome browsing stays held until event triggers, choices and outcomes can be verified.
