Dedicated Power Production Planner

I think Satisfactory Modeler would benefit a lot from a dedicated power production planner, not only power consumption summaries.

Right now, the tool can show how much power a factory uses or produces, but it would be extremely useful to have a system where we can actually design power generation setups.

For example:

“I have 240 coal/min, how much power can I generate?”
“I have 300 crude oil/min, what kind of fuel power setup can I build?”
“I want to make a nuclear power plant, how much uranium, water, machines, and waste handling do I need?”
“I need 10,000 MW of power, what is the required setup?”

The feature could support different power types such as:

• Coal power

• Fuel power

• Turbofuel / Rocket Fuel setups

• Nuclear power

• Plutonium recycling or waste handling

• Geothermal power

It would be great if the planner could calculate:

• Required generators

• Required resource input per minute

• Required water amount

• Required refineries, blenders, manufacturers, etc.

• Byproducts and waste

• Belt and pipe requirements

• Gross power production

• Power consumed by the setup itself

• Final net power output

The main idea is that instead of only seeing how much power a factory consumes, we could also plan a full power plant from resources or from a target MW amount.

For example, I could choose:

“Crude Oil: 300/min”

Then the tool could show different possible setups:

• Basic Fuel Power

• Diluted Fuel

• Turbofuel

• Rocket Fuel

And compare how much power each setup produces, how many machines it needs, and how complex it is.

This would make Satisfactory Modeler much more complete, because power production is a huge part of factory planning in Satisfactory.
