I was curious about the distribution of labour among the different worlds of the Union, so I made another tool.

To satisfy your curiosity within a timely manner, this tool is capable of using old data to be extremely fast. It is currently aimed at data for 171. If I target it at current data, it is roughly as slow as the Gestalt economy overview, due to needing the data for all zones on all worlds. I think that lagging behind a few turns (whenever I update the data set), is acceptable for this tool.

No pix, no clicks!

Have a look at the Daryan (in yellow) and Sundarian (in dark orange) labour distribution:

So, about the IO's information labour...

Every grey circle represents 100 labour, which is very funny to watch when looking at Raw Materials+IO Protocol+Veolian Commonwealth. I have tried a square root scaling to prevent the 'pointing finger syndrome' but had mixed feelings about it.

Go!

Go have a look

If you want to save the image, right-click the diagram and select 'View Image', and than menu File -> Save Page As.. (or something like that). That way you'll get a neat image with transparent background and such.

Yay ... more graphs and pretty pictures.. xD

This tool is so useful! O.o, I like it. It's very interesting to see how some products and raw materials are sometimes fully done by one faction and sometimes split by a lot of factions :)

Maybe it is nice to have some extra amount indicators? Like a red line every 500 products?

I concur that it would be usefull to know how much the spikes mean in absolute terms, but primarily the relative amounts are already hugely helpfull.
Nice tool

I concur that having at least some estimate of the absolute amounts was better, so I added the 1000s lines: every thicker darker line is a 1000s line. This helps with estimating industry size, but leaves out the (imho) annoyance of reading numbers when I want an overview.

There's another thing that's currently not visualised but already implemented: every world has a high and a low value for every type of labour. The low value is the guaranteed labour including perfect pairs and triplets of specialised labour, and the high value is the highest possible output if all left-over specialised labour is converted into actual labour. I have not yet decided how to visualise this; it is currently only necessary for the IO and the Sundarian business which has some amount of left-over specialised labour.

I have updated the labour distribution chart to include a 'All' option (seen as the ∞ symbol in the tool). This gives you a better idea of the total available labour in the Union, and a better idea of the relative differences between labour of factions.
