Colonisation - Tracker/addon

I really need a tracker too. I just started my first system this morning... is this a pen and paper situation? Aside from physically being on the construction Carrier, I don't even see a listing in game of what's needed (I think I only saw a list when picking my primary port type, but not seeing anything in Codex). Is everybody just writing out a list before leaving the carrier? I also saw the sheets document and the materials helper, but the numbers on both of those are different from what the carrier is saying, was there a change in quantity recently or something.
 
My understanding is there's just not enough being exposed in journal entries for colonization systems right now, so it's doubtful there are going to be completely accurate and player-specific tools to track these things until that happens. As Willyum-71 said, there are documents some players have put together that help immensely, but some values are going to be a little off for a number of reasons that aren't entirely clear yet as we don't have full exposure of all the ways the system works. It makes sense to me why, because if all events related to colonization were exposed for third party tools the way the system works can be quickly mined and 'optimal' builds worked out. Maybe one day, once the fun of figuring stuff out has mostly worn off from the community.

I just use my own spreadsheet. Place a construction, get the required materials from the system map, plug the numbers in, source materials in Inara and do some mental calculations as to the best route. I mostly use my FC to just be stocked full of Steel, Aluminum and Titanium and go hunting for the rest. I will consult the shared doc by DaftMav for the system planner, just to get a sense of what tech/security/development levels I need, but I only go by numbers on planned constructions only.

You can find your "shopping list" by clicking on the orbital or surface construction yard. F10 screen shot and then you can Alt/Tab to the image (or open it on another monitor if you have one).
