Analysis Mode for Factories

Analysis Mode is an alternative to the standard 3×3 layout for factories. It consolidates the information you actually need onto one screen, so you spend less time on micromanagement and get better results from the time you do spend.

You are not choosing one or the other. Switch between the two modes with a button, at any time.

Reading a finished product

Select a finished product at the top of the screen and you see the factors behind its final quality — the aggregated input item quality rating and your tech level — without clicking into individual units on the 3×3 layout.

Reading the inputs

Select a group of input items and you get a summary of all of them at once: costs and freight charges, quality ratings, stock levels, and the supply and demand situation for each.

Changing a supplier

Click [Link] and the game shows only the suppliers that currently offer that specific input — rather than the full list you would work through on the 3×3 interface.
