LOCAL-FIRST PLANNING TOOL
Production Chain Planner
Create source, building and storage nodes, connect the flow, record observed rates and find disconnected stages.

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
Every node participates in the drawn chain.
Sources: 1. Destinations: 1.
No throughput is inferred. Add observed rates only when the game exposes them.
METHOD
Use observed inputs, inspect the reasons
Name the structure you can see in your build, run the transparent check, and revise the plan when the result exposes a disconnected stage or missing decision. No tool result is presented as official game data.
Release-build gate
Recheck demo-derived plans against your current released build. An exported JSON draft preserves your intent while keeping old values visibly separate from newly verified behavior.
QUESTIONS
How this tool handles evidence
Does the Production Chain Planner know hidden Nightwater values?
No. It uses only your entries and transparent structural rules. Unknown game values remain unknown.
Where is my plan stored?
Persistent tool drafts stay in local browser storage on this device. Tools with structured drafts also support JSON export and import.
Is the result an official optimal route?
No. It is a planning aid designed to make assumptions and missing handoffs visible.
