BitPlanner is an app for Windows, Linux, OSX and Android that provides helper tools for BitCraft players fully offline. Currently a crafting calculator and travelers tasks lists are implemented, with more tools to be added in the future (statistics + gathering time and effort calculator is the main priority for the next release).

As someone who has no idea about github @iron briar , how do I go about using this app? From the images it looks great and I'd love to use it 🙂 Thanks

there's the "Releases" section (shown on the right if you open website on desktop), builds are attached to releases

any plans to add building recipes to it as well?

yes, I will add them
green matrix
thank you very much!

actually have another suggest, to add labor points and an estimate time for it, if it hasn't been suggested before

labor points?

the effort to craft
as mentioned in the first post, gathering time and effort calculator is the main priority for the next release. As for crafting, I will need to look at it.
green matrix
ah sorry, didn't notice it

is this data live fed or manual input? ie if they change a bunch of values in the game will it be a quick update or are you going to have to manually update them all invidiually?
green matrix
should be linked to the games api i think, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see anything from T5 to T10
astral fable
it's not linked to the live server but a dump from the live server, so we just need to rerun a script or two to update it
green matrix
oh that interesting
gonna guess the exe is also not live updated and would require a manual update from the users side?
astral fable
yea
potentially if it's just a data update the user could download the new data files? but that's prob more complicated for most people
nope, i think resources are bundled into the exe
iron briar
I was thinking of implementing data update without updating the whole app, but wasn't sure whether it's really needed. If things will continue to do the way they did for the last week (we had some changes in crafting recipes as far as I remember), I guess there will be a point to do that. But that's not a priority for now.

If there will be a situation when devs update a bunch of values that make BitPlanner very unreliable, I don't see a problem making a new release the same day. It actually depends on @astral fable updating BitCraft_GameData repo, then from my side all that is required is to run one script and then produce and publish new builds.

fair enough, is the BitCraft_GameData repo public?

they've made my life a pain but i still have a bunch of cobbled together local scripts that should be able to do it quickly yea
i've disabled the automation on github for now

BitPlanner v1.1 is out!
Unfortunately I had to delay implementing time and effort calculator, but there are many improvements to the crafting calculator:
I want to thank @tender flame and @wanton cipher for giving valuable feedback and information about the game mechanics. Also big thanks to anonymous patron who made a generous donation. ❤️

This is cool, but it sucks finding out that all this time, building my bitcraft calculator has been a waste of time.
There's always someone who almost instantly builds some helper app. 😭 Feels bad trying to make anything unless I'm ready to build it in less than a week.
Thanks for building this though. It will be useful.

I had the same feeling seeing other people trying to make crafting calculators when I started working on BitPlanner. But I suppose it's fair to say I managed to make something superior, at least for now. Although indeed I had to be in haste, and so there were some decisions made that I'm unhappy with, and this can't be easily changed.
Nevertheless, you are free to contribute to the project. Or make a fork. Or make something your own that will be better, I will be fine deprecating BitPlanner in favor of something more useful and polished. 🙂
astral fable
I feel the same. Most hobby developers would not mind at all if someone else came and made something truly better. We do things because we find it fun or we think the end product is useful to us. It would be a relief if someone else made something awesome while following in our footsteps and took some of the burden off of us.

BitPlanner v1.1.1 released!
This is a small, mostly bug-fix release.

There's an unscheduled update for BitPlanner data available. It doesn't add anything new (as there was no updates for crafting data in the game for past few days), but contains some fixes:

Is there a way to turn it into a checklist? 1: for collecting base resources and 2: for when you have some crafted resources
