In-game calculator

[ionic iron]

So I think it would be cool idea to add in-game calculator through which I can easily do some simple math (i.e. belt speed divided by stacker output or something else). I know i can alt+tab and use windows calculator, but the ability to do some simple math in-game would be a nice addition

You can press F1 and then do calc 1+2 for now does that help? 🙂 It also can do more complex stuff like calc (120/15)*15+5

🤯 for some reason I always thought this command would bind another command to a hotkey so I never tried it

[sand birch]

Pretty sure there's a bind command

A thing like in Satisfactory would be useful tho, with a search and calculator feature in one

[ionic iron]

yeah, exactly what I thought.

Didn't know of that thing, for now it has to suffice 🙂 but in official release an in-game calculator would be better in my opinion

Hi I would like to echo the sentiment of OP. An in-game calculator that can be easily accessed similar to what satisfactory has would be great addition to the game.

[shrewd sand]

How easierly could you access it?

Maybe a function button other than commands so that you don't have to write the calc function

But it's just 6 characters with the parentheses

Oh niice

Personally I found the ratios in this game to be pretty simple and no trouble at all to work out in my head. The only one that threw me was the 22.5 shapes per minute throughputs early on, but once I remembered that this is a quarter of 90 it was no problem at all. Then again, math is a bit of a strength for me.

who knows how complicated math would be later, it was just a demo 🙂

I know the importance of this feature would be less than low, but in the end I still think it would be a nice addition. Absence of that wouldn't by any mean lower the quality of game. Just a nice addition.

In satisfactory the search bar is mapped to "n". Once opened you simply type in your equation and it is calculated in real time

This video demonstrates it quite well

It was the 22.5 that threw me. I didn't know it was a 1/4 of 90 though.
