Tips for anyone starting Pyanadons
I think I've read that this fork is better for Py: https://github.com/gillett-hernandez/Foreman2

The Full Pyanodon's Space Science Flowchart, Updated! Now with 90% less duplicated recipes and 200% more rabbit holes!
Foreman 2, specifically this fork which has updates for the latest PyMods.

Question from a newcomer...
Another explanation I've seen of how complex Pyanodon is is that making Py science pack 1's (the second of 11 types of science packs, after automation) is comparable to launching a rocket in vanilla. The flowchart in the first two screenshots in the readme for Foreman (the app used to create the Pyanodon flowchart) is for an earlier version of Pyanodon where it was the first type of science pack, and shows how you'd have to make the first packs of that type. (The three boxes with warning labels are for steps that had to be done by hand -- you could use those first few packs to unlock the first assembling machine, as well as more resource-efficient versions of other steps.)

Help setting up Foreman 2.0/Seablock
Use the newer version of Foreman (https://github.com/gillett-hernandez/Foreman2/ - some Seablock specific bugs removed). You can also use my experimental version (https://github.com/mrozpara/Foreman2_MR) but it has some bugs...

Remember my last Pyanodon full recipe image for most basic circuits? Well, the mod was updated few days ago... (zoom in if you want)
Someone commented that the original doesn't work with Py I downloaded a fork. If original doesn't work maybe this will: https://github.com/gillett-hernandez/Foreman2/releases

I don't see the maths behind using Crystal Slurry to Mineral Sludge early.
Grab the instrument-control_XX.lua from this commit: https://github.com/gillett-hernandez/Foreman2/commit/a6ddda92f755b39bbea753cd522a44fd3fad7568

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)
there's a Foreman2 fork that fixes some issues (including a error when importing the Pyanodons Alternative Energy mod), check it out: Foreman2 Fork

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:

Py, but at work.
It's not a website but try YAFC. It's the best planner for Py.

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?

Comparing the flowcharts of the major mods
Its called YAFC. Although it could use some fixes still.

Seablock noob
Use an external planning tool like YAFC

my spread used to make my builds
There is a mod for that, and a mod for that, and a website for that, and another website for that, and a standalone application for that for big modpacks like Seablock and Py
