Component card. Yellow input = your "containers wanted" for that component. Each container holds 300 mass. Items column shows total items needed (your direct demand + implied from same-outpost downstream). Green Nc = output containers needed.
Inputs section. Lists everything this outpost needs to consume. Grouped by container type: solid (yellow border), liquid (blue), gas (purple), organic (green), and manufactured ferries IN (orange). Each row shows quantity, mass, and containers needed.
Build order. A is closed (no incoming ferries). B imports SW from A. C imports TGR + SW from A and RG from B. D imports RG from B and IC from C. Bootstrap by stockpiling missing intermediates manually until each upstream outpost is online.
Top controls. "Set all to N" applies the same value to every yellow input (handy to test the network at a target volume); "Reset all to 0" clears the plan.
19 outposts cover all 38 manufacturing-chain raws plus 13 unused-but-useful raws (Lead, Titanium, Mercury, Platinum, Iridium, Fluorine, Chlorine, Chlorosilanes, Xenon, Argon, Benzene, Carboxylic Acids, Neon — handy for outpost building, mods, etc.). Reduced from 20 by dropping Altair 4-b — Xenon now extracted at Alpha Andraste III's atmosphere alongside Biosuppressant. Methodology adapted from Ilzow's Steam guide. Inorganic + organic combined where possible: Charybdis 2 = Al family + 3 organics; Zeta Ophiuchi 1 = Fe family + Polymer; Fermi VII-a substitutes for Lantana 8-d to combine Ni family with Memory Substrate husbandry. Each resource has its own yellow input for "extra containers" beyond what the chain needs.
[ ] = Nc
Nc = containers driven by your manufacturing plan above
[ ] = yellow input for extra containers (your stockpile beyond chain demand)
= Nc = total (needed + extra)
WL = wildlife level (red if >50)
