Applying a tech research cost multiplier to a Seablock run
Using a planner like YAFC, Foreman, Helmod, and Factory Planner is highly recommended. Also, the following mods are recommended for a megabase needed to finish a high-multiplier game:

Pyanodons - Complex Circuits Foreman 2.0 Graph
Not sure, the github has the source code so you could also look to building it as a native app.

Py, but at work.
I would give foremana shot. Great for breaking down those brainmelt recipes

Fresh meat to the grinder
Planning tools/mods come in many shapes and sizes. I personally like Helmod but it took a while to learn it. There is also Factory Planner. Or external tools like Foreman or YAFC.

(Space Exploration) Am I the only one who finds it impossible to plan out a build without a clear visualization of the production chain like this? And why is it impossible to find charts or tools like this?
I assume a tool like Foreman which loads Factorio data could theoretically load another game's data if it's converted to Factorio data.

Hello, this is the first time I'm posting, I wanted to know what you think of my automatic red and green science system, I'm still quite new in the factory and I haven't made much progress yet because I always get caught up in madness and delete the world and start again.
(Or you can just use a site like factoriolab or a mod like factory planner to do the math for you and have perfect ratios anyway. The only wrong way to play is whatever way you don't find fun.)

isnt this bus massive for early - mid game?
Use Factory Planner to figure this kind of stuff out. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/factoryplanner

SE fatigue
SE has quite complex recpies, especially for space science and processing of the new ores. I would have stopped playing a long time ago if it hadn't been for planner mods like Factory Planner ( https://mods.factorio.com/mod/factoryplanner ). I found Helmod's interface to be rather complicated so I mostly use Factory Planner even though I keep both around (Helmod provides some additional options like planning your build around the amount of available ingredients or number of crafting machines). With the "matrix solver" feature, you can plan a factory layout that produces the amount of materials you need and takes care of most/all byproducts. This makes the process of planning fun instead of tedious and then putting it in action and watching your new factory section go brrrrrr as it produces a new shiny thing for you to enjoy feels very rewarding.

FactoryPlanner or Helmod - Helps designing production chains. Quite complex at start, but well worth it. Factory Planner is the newer and cleaner design.

Right mods for Modded Minecraft Expert Pack & Satisfactory Lover
Factory planner. This mod allows you to plan out the production before hand (makes making everything pretty way easier as you know how many machines are needed)

creating sand in se + k2
Secondarily, you could use a mod like Helmod and/or Factory Planner to help you figure out how to make items. These mods are better focused for chains - i.e. breaking down an item (e.g. a science pack) down into smaller parts (e.g. ores), but they can also serve the function of letting you know which machine to use for which recipe.

Space exploration calculator???
I personally use the Factory Planner mod because it has some nice in-game features like automatic blueprints from the calculation.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Foreman2 and FactoryPlanner you can also consider the following projects:
factorio-blueprint-visualizer - A python library to artfully visualize Factorio Blueprints and an interactive web demo for using it.
yafc - Powerful Factorio calculator/analyser that works with mods
factoriolab - Angular-based calculator for factory games like Factorio and Dyson Sphere Program
SeaBlock - Factorio mod pack Sea Block
FactorioScripts - Useful Python scripts for my Factorio mods
Foreman - Visual planning tool for the game Factorio
UntitledGuiGuide - A Factorio GUI tutorial
Sidekick - The main repository for the Sidekick project, a companion trade tool for Path of Exile.
