[2022] Spreadsheets?

Hey,

I'm fairly new to the game. I'm doing my first proper play-through and found cooking/baking + milling and butchery to be enjoyable, but figuring out what to charge for things is proving difficult.

I've tried the eco-calc site, which was useful for basic things, but seemed out of date. It didn't seem to understand that I could craft some of the base ingredients either. Ex: I had to enter a price for tallow for calculations, even though I can craft tallow and the cost to craft should be calculable from the price of meat scraps. But the main point against it is that the prices kept vanishing every time the page loaded, so I'd have to re-enter everything every day.

I imagine someone has made a spreadsheet to do all this already. I found an old one in a post somewhere, but it's outdated as well (9.3), and also doesn't include being able to craft some materials yourself.

I know of a tester for ECO (like that does game testing) and has files and such, sadly (and naturally) cant give them to me but has mentioned:

What you would do is write a basic plugin for Eco server that dumps everything to a JSON with the ability to run that operation on startup. Then use the container form of Eco server we publicly distribute as a GitHub action

This is because I was wondering if there was a ECO Calculator not only for Recipes but also something that I can add onto for custom battering setups since we use the 1 currency = 1 log = 5 rock = 4 ore = 1 sand/clay = 10 crop = 0.1 Bison formula for our server and I would like to make something that auto prices everything

Sadly I'm not that much of a smart code brain (WIP) to make a plugin to dump everything into a JSON file. the Documentation isn't well documented either and I recently asked how I would go about this in the discord server and got told to just use the Data Files on the Wiki however these don't have things such as recipes

~~^{I have started this on a}~~ ~~^{public GitHub repo}~~ ~~^{- if people are smarter than me and want to contribute}~~

The wiki does have the recipe files, they're in the data space and used to show the recipes on the item pages. There is also a mod that does that, but afaik it's not yet fully updated, it was maintained by someone that took a break. There is also several calculator mods out there, one adding a calculator to the Web UI. Other option of course is to make a mod that dumps the info and keeping that up-to-date.

If someone comes up with a new tool, feel free to hit me up via DM, the ones pinned on Reddit and Discord are a bit outdated and I'd love to add new ones with your credits.
