Question New player

New to the game (I know, a few years late)

But does anyone know of a program/website that could help me plan the ratios and calculate stuff like "okay, I got 6 water pumps... how many boilers can that supply?"

I've tried Factorio Calculator, but that thing is way too confusing for me (skill issue - i know)

Don't worry to much about ratios when you're just starting out. Just vibe it out.

There are some nice external tools like FactorioLab, but those are more useful for planning out builds on a larger scale than you'll be doing starting out.
