Any third party tool for engineeing which can count how many you need across multiple modules?

[Agony_Aunt]

In an attempt to avoid having to whip up a spreadsheet, is there an app like EDEngineer which can tell you how many materials (or data) you need across multiple engineering upgrades?

For example, let me say i want to do 3 DD5 and 2 Charge Enhanced PD5.

I know we can't say exactly how many we need for max at each level, but let's run with 5 to max grade 4 and 10 to max grade 5 (yeah, i know, this is lowball).

Let's take Chemical Manipulators.

I'll need 3x10 for DD5, and 2x5 for CE4 and 2x10 for CE5, totalling 60 CMs.

In short, i want to specify how many of what type of engineering i want to do and for it to calculate how many i need in total.

If not, well, i guess its Excel time.

Yes, Inara does all that and a lot more.

I'm using a program called EDEngineer and its excellent. You can even setup how many rolls you expect to do and it will tell you when you have enough mats

Doesn't Coriolis do this?

Hot damn, looks like you are right!

Never noticed that feature before. Perfect.

I mentioned EDEngineer, i didn't see the ability for it to combine the recipes for a running in total.

That's on a per ship basis, i need a total across all ships. I've got 7 ships i want to fully engineer.

Then Inara is the one for you:
Choose a Engineering Mod, Choose the Special Effect, Enter how many rolls of each level you want, enter how many of that you wish to make, add it to your Crafting List
Add all the things you want to engineer.

You can even add Sysnthesis rolls and Tech Unlocks to the List.

Then it will show you a list of all Materials, total of how many you need to create everything on the Crafting List and how many you have (as long as Inara knows from EDMC or EDD)

Next page is "Missing Components" that just lists.... what it missing. A beautiful page when it is empty

I used to use EDEngineer, but it was far more clunky than Inara, and didnt give anything unique except different (but not detailed enough) sources for each material.

Ah, I get you.
Just done 4 ships for Thargoid/rescue and it did involve pencil and paper.[knocked out]

EDEngineer uses a shopping list feature to achieve this.

I didn't see that, but i see Inara covers my needs nicely. Thanks anyway.

Just a word of caution to anyone using Coriolis to generate a list of materials for EDEngineer: check the list of modules in EDEngineer matches the loadout in Coriolis! It quite often gets the hardpoint weapons mixed up. For example, I loaded up a Krait with Advanced Plasma Accelerators and Imperial Hammers and it gave me the material requirements for Multicannons and Burst Lasers.

Pain in the backside when you only realise this after getting to the engineer's base!
