CLUSTER DESKTOP-GAME-RESOURCE · 8 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2023-02-02

Factory game planning tools

This cluster comprises desktop companion applications that help players plan and optimize production in factory-building games, covering resource flows, upgrade queues, facility expansion, and layout analysis. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as only one dated entry exists before the index start. Traction is led by SandFlow, SludgePlanner, and Sludgineers-Progression-Planner, each with one star.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 8 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
