Graphs/Charts to track data points?

Post by ski »

First off, love the game. I have nearly 1700hrs of gameplay. Over that time I've generated spreadsheets to track the major data points (Population,Imm/Emm,Birth,Death,Income,Expenses,Unemp,etc.) to see what affect my tinkering with Taxes/Social settings has on those data points. I usually play Sandbox and take total control over the country locking out all ministers. Thus monitoring the flow of these data points is extremely helpful to me, but copying data to the spreadsheets is so tedious.

The Graph/Chart types I'm wondering about are the ones you see in games like SimCity or the newer Cities: Skylines. The kind of Graph/Chart where you can set the range of the data you are looking at, like 1yr, 5yrs, 10yrs, 25yrs, and so on. I haven't tried my hand at modding yet which leads to my main question. Is it possible to create a mod that can generate a pop-up window(like the Diplomatic pop-up window) that has a graph or chart with the type of data point(s) you want to track? Or can the Charts/Graphs maybe included under the Regional Atlas button with the Domestic, Military, Relations, Elections, and Score tabs?

I've attached a sample of my spreadsheet. In this example I copy the Population, Emm, Imm, Birth, and Death every Nov1, then the calculations I added let me see how those data points are progressing.
It would be wonderful and game changing to have an automated visual representation of this data in-game.

Thanks for the great support of this game.

That sounds like complex task.. But adding option to dump these stats into .csv file wouldn't be that difficult IMO so perhaps they could do that and you'd only have to add the graphs, which can be automated using Macro given that the format would be constant.

the game (at least some older version) can already write a big log with lots of game data per day.
you may use the -logon parameter.
then after playing some days , go to your save game folder and you will find LOG*.log files
looks like this to get the idea: (make sure you have some space left on your drive)

That's cool! Does it slow down the game much?'

OP should be able to parse the data using some script and then make the charts out of it..

ski: if you make such tool, be sure to post it here and into the mods - I'd be happy to use it for some experimentation as well :)
