Any way to sum up my need for ressources

[thomasbkdk]

Is there any clever way of in-game summing up the hourly need for resources needed.
As an example how much food and medical supplies i need to produce based on the usage at my stations?

I guess you might be able to make your stations in the station sim and see their full needs there. No need to design them just put down all the desired modules to check. Technically that's an in game way of doing it.

Personally I prefer to just build mid-sized stations producing these things and when I see their production falling a bit below what my stations need, I'll slap down another one. It's not very precise but it lets me not bother myself about it.

You can see how much of a particular ware a station consumes by clicking on the ware in question in the logistical view. No option that sums up all your stations though i'm afraid, you have to add them together the hard way.

For food/meds specifically it also helps to know that you need 2250 food and 1350 meds per 1k workforce per hour, so you can just count the number of your habitats to easily calculate the total.
I generally just build & expand my food & med production in batches capable of supporting 20k workers and keep count of the number of new habitats i build so i only had to do it once.

There's no easy way of doing it ingame, but there's an excellent third party website that calculates all that for you.

It's here: http://www.x4-game.com/#/station-calculator

Thanks for suggesting that. I guess that is a doable solution.
