Tools

The Tools page collects four small utilities that don't fit anywhere else. They're not gated — every plan gets them.

Crafting calculator

Pick an item and a quantity; the calculator walks the full crafting tree and tells you exactly how much of each raw resource (sulfur, scrap, metal frags, low-grade fuel, cloth, wood) you need. Recipes track current Rust patch values.

Raid calculator

Pick a structure type (sheet metal door, garage door, soft side wall, hard side wall, foundation, etc.) and the calculator lists every viable raid tool along with the resource cost in each:

• C4, rockets, satchels, beancans, pickaxes, eokas — every tool the game offers for that target.
• Resource-equivalent comparison so you can pick the cheapest path for what you have on hand.

Conveyor sorter helper

Plan an industrial sorter layout. Pick the items you want filtered into each output, and the tool generates the icon list you should paste into each conveyor's filter slot. Saves a lot of in-game UI fiddling.

Plant genetics solver

Plug in the gene strings on your seeds and the solver tells you which to cross to converge on the strongest possible (six-G or six-Y) seed. Includes the breeding tree visualisation so your farmer can see what to plant next.
