Quick Reference Sheets

[Martin-Pitt]

I have been wanting to add quick reference sheets to the app.

By quick reference sheets, I mean like the ones created by Reddit user u/oldshavingfoam:

• https://dsp-wiki.com/File:Recipe_Quick_Reference.jpg
• https://dsp-wiki.com/File:Building_Quick_Reference.jpg

The benefit is that with the app I can generate all of these from game data that the calculator uses.

I can also experiment with designs and interactions.

For an interaction example: If you selected an item recipe and being able to see other recipes that depend on the item that is produced. This can be often very useful, as often during gameplay you may have an over supply of products and would like see what can be made with it.

I need to have sections on:

• Assembler
• Smelter
• Chemical Plant
• Oil Refinery
• Miniature Particle Collider
• Matrix Lab

Ideas:

• More readable, compact and/or dense visual design options
• Be able to render out an image-based version or save to print with print stylesheet
• Click on an recipe row to dive into where it is used, within inputs and outputs idea inspired from Reddit user /u/Codnono
• Might be good to have a pleasant background visual

Additionally, I would like to experiment with many other types of reference sheets.

• Like a tech progress sheet by science matrixes:

• List of all raw resources/materials that can be mined/gathered
  • Which can be used to figure out what the lowest point of the supply chain is.
• Proliferator bonuses
  • Cheat sheet of bonuses, basically what's on DSP Wiki
  • Additional context might be handy as not obvious, e.g. how much power that juiced antimatter would produce on an artificial star and the rate of consumption would be great things to know
• Certain item properties
  • Maybe all fuel types accepted by a thermal gen?
  • List of electricity production buildings in order?
• Vein Utilisation? Logistics Carrier Engine? Simple bullet points of key points and a graph visual would do. See Dyson Sphere Program Helper for maths.
• What other things did you need to know, compare or figure out while you were playing DSP? Each reference sheet is goal oriented, you needed to know something specifically at that point. DSP Ratios is meant to be a productivity tool for you. I don't want to set out to make things easy or take the fun away, but give you the tools and information to go to greater lengths.

Reddit user /u/clayafterdark made a bunch of neat diagrams which could be worth adding:

• Electromagnetic Turbine
• Structure Matrix
• Energy Matrix
• Electromagnetic Matrix v0
• Processor
• Electromagnetic Matrix v1
• Electromagnetic Matrix v2
• Energy Matrix
• Energy Matrix with Gas Giant Mining
• PLS Drone Throughput

I've taken down the current references pages as it was a work in progress and pushed two other useful pages instead that would be more complete and handy right now
