This is a tool built in excel which assist you in determining the optimal way to build your base. You set your desired structure level, the current structure level and provide your relevant stats (cyber, commander etc) and the optimal build order will be shown.
When determining the build order, it factors in things such as how much area, population and energy the structure takes up and the cost of each. Utility structures such as terraform’s, solar etc are auto built regardless of you specifying them to be built or not. You can however specify not to build them (entering in the value -1), or to only build to a certain level. The limitations of free accounts are also factored automatically (when account type is set to free). You can specify your build focus – economy, production or construction – to prioritise specific structure types.
This requires excel 2007 or newer and can be downloaded from the link below:
