Dyson Sphere Program Production Chain manipulation script

What is it ?

 
This is a python script that allows you to manipulate production chain. 
 
It does NOT allow you to manipulate game data 
 
 

What can you do with this script ?

• Node : displaying the complete or partial production chain of a component/building (with production/sec and factory numbers needed to achieve it) 
• Total : displaying a listing of all components in a chain with no duplicates (ex : if several items in a chain need iron ingots, the production/sec will be summed in order to appear only once) 
• Totals can be combined (for ex you want to produce Tesla Towers and Conveyor Belts, their totals can be summed up listing you everything you will need) 
• you can get lists of products that uses a specific item either directly or indirectly (indirectly meaning as long as it does appear somewhere in the chain of a product) 

How to install

 
It is assumed you know how to download from github : 

1. Download python 3 github.com – https://www.python.org/downloads/ 
2. if you are not familiar with python or any other programming language, it might be a little tough for you, and was not designed with you in mind. However follow the next steps, and you will be relatively fine 
3. Open Idle (Python console/editor), then : file > open > pick the downloaded file “dyson.py” 
4. read the block enclosed inside triple double quote at the beggining of the file, this is the manual with examples 
5. click : Run > Run Module 
6. now you are in the console and the file is loaded, just type the commands described into the manual to use it

!!! Important NOTES !!!

• The available components/buildings list is not complete, but most of it is in : every research unlocked by green matrix is missing. 
• alternate recipes are missing, because i did not want to deal with the hassle of handling that possibility 
• recipe of silicon ore made from stone is not included : I just never use it and mine silicon directly, I assumed it would be the same for the vast majority of you. 
• Front end are boring to code, and I am too lazy to make it, if anyone wants to do it, feel free, you have my blessing.
