Orbit.Industries – Resource Module Calculator

ملخص

When playing orbit industries, I’ve often found that when i want to simply add 1 أو 2 أكثر “Core Modules” such as a Laboratory or a Briefing Room, I’ll usually need to construct multiple “Resource Modules” such as Solar Arrays, Airlocks, and Environmental Control. The trouble is, when building those resource modules, your demands for other resources go up, often times requiring even more resource modules. this problem can snowball to where you’re constantly trying to find a balancing point, which can be very time consuming. To help with this issue, I have created a spreadsheet calculator to do most of the heavy lifting. All you do is tell it how many core modules your station has (or how many you want it to have) and it will figure out exactly how many resource modules you will need in order to have a balanced station.

You can make a copy of this spreadsheet to use for yourself by following this وصلة.

Core Modules

On the right hand side of the spreadsheet, you will find 4 colored areas with the names of each of the

Core modules in the game. they have been organized by module type. بحث, Commerce, Defense, and Infrastructure. when you select the space below each of these module names, you can input the number you wish to have of that specific module.

Resource Module Preference

There are a total of 14 Resources in the game that various modules will require. of these 14, half of them can only be generated from a single module, The other half however, can be generated from 2-4 different modules. for these 7 موارد, قوة, ماء, Atmosphere, Payload Exchange, Computing Power, Temperature Control, and Workforce, you will need to select a module you would like the calculator to use for that Resource. in the center of the spreadsheet, you will find a series of check mark boxes. You need to select 1 from each of the resource types in order for the calculator to work. while the spreadsheet allows you to select multiple modules per resource, this will result in a large surplus and higher costs than are required. splitting the generation of a resource across multiple different types of modules is not currently supported, but it is planned for a later version.

Resource Modules

Once you have selected your preferred resource modules (for the resources where multiple modules generate it) and have input your desired number of core modules, the Calculator will automatically figure out how many of each module you will need in order to fully supply all of your core modules, and your resource modules. As an added bonus, the calculator will also tell you how much your stations Upkeep Cost will be. this can be found in the very bottom left of the Spreadsheet.

Limitations and Acknowledgements

This Spreadsheet and all of its calculations assume a complete station efficiency of 100% at all times. As you play orbit industries, your station will encounter various errors and disasters that will temporarily lower the efficiency of your modules. as a result, your station’s resource values may not always perfectly match those given in the spreadsheet.
