I've so far tried feeding it example scripts, but it's only generated zero byte images so far. With no output indicating any errors. I will give your files a look and see if I can make sense of it.

It'd be great if you showed me what you used to generate those graphs. Will probably make it easier to get the system figured out. Tried installing it onto the server but it seems the most recent package depends on a higher version of ubuntu. Will look into installing it manually sometime...

All my websites (by extension the calculator) run on my private LAMP server. Gnuplot looks very interesting! I'll have a look at it soon!

Yes you are right. The fuel usage of a fully heated 1LP boiler run for exactly 24 hours is 682.560 fuel units. For an 8LP boiler it's 622.080 fuel units. There's a 60.480 fuel unit difference. Running 8 1LP boiler in tandem would cost 5.460.480 fuel units, while the 8LP still only cost 622.080...

Only in the sense that you can easily scale up or down depending on your need. If all of them are run at once they would use the same amount of fuel and produce the same amount of steam as if they were combined. As I said earlier, it is only concerned with the temperature and size. The size...

Steam output does not affect anything. The boiler doesn't care if the steam is being used or not. Fuel usage is tied to temperature and size. (RC 8.3+) Also, at one point I was looking into having the calculator graph the calculated data. I was looking into 3rd party services that would do...

So this is what spawned those changes : P

A Low Pressure boiler's max temperature is 500 degrees, not 1000.

Yes, or just put 300 in the second box. It will have the same effect. Neither of them are mandatory. The first one is mainly to simplify when you know you have a certain amount of stacks of something.

The unit is in items/buckets. I assume by 300,000 you are talking about what the tanks show, which is in mB. One bucket is 1000 mB.

The jump button is was a legacy from when the tick-by-tick process wasn't inside a fixed size scrollable box and made the page ridiculously long. Even on small screens scrolling down to the result is a breeze. So you are right, it's not needed anymore. The Simulate button has all the space...

I've started implementing the side panels. Thoughts? If it looks weird I'd appreciate a screenshot so I can see if it looks right or if there's a problem somewhere. There's still more work to be done though, and quite a bit of tweaking. If you have a narrow screen resolution the panels will...

If you don't understand what it is you are looking at it's going to look like a giant mess no matter how it's formatted has been my experience. : P

Okay, really appreciate the feedback. I think it looks fine, but that might be due to designer blindness. I've decreased the transparency from 20% to 5%, hopefully that will make it look better with the default background. I also moved the customization buttons to the top and changed the...

I appreciate the feedback! Not sure what you mean by shifting formatting styles. I know there are colors mixed in, I use this to highlight variable values such as percentages and fuel values. The only blue (or turquoise) things that I know of are the mode buttons, if there's anything else it...
