too overwhelmed
yes, you can start building the house from the roof, as you suggest, or you can use some kind of planner, and start building from the ground.

Any recommendations on some useful planning tools?
factoriolab.github.io - my favorite, but if you need a tool for layout, not a calculator - I'm using my imagination

Got overwhelmed by Rocket science packs in SE
I can recommend https://factoriolab.github.io

I WILL automate blue science this time
You mean the best one, so factoriolab[https://factoriolab.github.io ] aren't you?

Mod to calculate how many assemblers a full belt will support?
There are also online calculators for this: https://factoriolab.github.io

I am having a hard time reading and understanding the ratios on the factorio cheat sheet. Red science makes sense, I need to make 1 gear/s to supply 10 red science assemblers. But beyond that I don't understand.
https://factoriolab.github.io/ is pretty similar, but also supports mods and some more options
You might be interested in checking out factoriolab or kirkmcdonald. Both tools work great for planning the amount of machines needed to make a specific factory.

Is there a place (not in-game) to find all the recipes from space exploration without opening the game?
FactorioLab has recipes from several popular mods, including SE, K2, SE+K2, Py, PyAL, A&B, SeaBlock and more.

How do you like to plan your factory layout?
I mostly make extensive use of factoriolab online calculator. How much planning I'm doing also changes throughout the game:

External tools to design production chains?
There's a production chain calculator called FactorioLab which already supports several games beyond just Factorio, and had some discussion about supporting Captain of Industry, but doesn't yet. I would guess there hasn't been a lot of work into it yet because CoI is still relatively early, and has had some significant recipe changes.

I'M SORRY WHAT THE FUCK???? (Pyanodon recipe for simplest circuit board!)
Foreman 2. It makes flow diagrams which also calculate everything for you. By far the easiest way to set up massive production chains in large modpacks.
- I don't see the maths behind using Crystal Slurry to Mineral Sludge early.
- Finally, after 20 hours of work, I present the flowchart for Pyanodon Space Science! (Low quality because reddit wouldn't let me upload the full png)

I am baffled and need assistance, explanation in comments :)
If you get into mods, esspecially ones with loops, something like YAFC or Foreman 2 is much better.

External tools to design production chains?

Best Factorio mods 2022
And for large circular recipe chains I use Foreman, which handles those significantly better than helmod/FP, because there is much more calculation power available outside of the limited game engine.
You could add outside planners too, especially YAFC and Foreman are outstanding.
- Factory planer, Helmod, or something else?

Show HN: Factorio Blueprint Visualizer
Foreman 2.0 https://github.com/DanielKote/Foreman2 is robust Factorio diagramming app. It's capable of creating rather large diagrams, such as this [1] one of an entire Seablock factory.
Another one I like to use for quick diagramming is Factorio Lab [2], which is a web app.
