Hi,

TLDR: Add options to see resource input an outputs at various scales.

Facts: There are several graphs you can look at 'power consumption' 'calorie consumption', oxygen generated/consumed' etc.  This is ok, if you want to see when the colony had successes/issues over time.

However, I've been hoping for a way to have the game crunch the numbers, Display it for a few different scale of operations 1) project, 2) planetoid and 3) total colonies scale.

I understand I may stink at explaining so hear goes: For example: When we build a SPOM, at several levels its clear water and electricity will yield you oxygen and hydrogen, I also know I can click individual buildings and the tooltip will show the clicked buildings stats... Though when you design a larger project, upscale it, customize another design, etc you tend to get forced to a) crunch numbers, b) refer to a guide/person who did crunch the numbers c) wing it. 

It would be an amazing QOL improvement if there was a draggable tooltip where one could highlight several tiles, to encompass a design/build, and it would show a tooltip/report that would show the total input/output for said area. IE highlight SPOM Rodriguez and could spit out some facts like....

Generates: (grabbed from Wiki)

"Rodriguez"
Generates by (Unknown)[4]  
OxygenOxygen 3000 g/s[5]
HydrogenHydrogen ≈ 378 g/s
Electricity         ≈ 3982W (?)
    Heat               ≈ 398 J (?)  

Input/requirements: (just throwing out numbers- don't focus on the wrong thing)

Rodriguez"
Utilizes by (Unknown)[4]  
Water -4000 g/s[5]
Electricity        ≈ -1088W (?)

 

2) Show what the planetoid is consuming vs generating with a slider (current, avg over 3 cycles, over 5 cycles) (to include vents uncovered/active?)

Power, food, oxygen, etc

3) all planetoids there are Duplicants, Bionics, automation or shipping occurring...

A streamlined tooltip could save countless players from scrolling reddit, reading guides, and lazily not trying builds for themselves
