Would it be possible to allow a "divisor" for certain numbers that should be, but currently aren't, directly comparable?

In the current version, this applies to fuel and MSP.    Both individual graphs show a nice increase over time, but together the scale of the graph makes MSP meaningless (examples attached).   Having the ability to graph some things in higher numbers (MSP in "each" and Fuel in "x100,000" for example) would make some of these composite graphs a lot more useful.  Edit: This also applies to a Sorium vs Fuel graph, which is useful to ensure your production is staying where it should be.

Further to this, is it possible to have the Always On Top flag an option somewhere, since I usually put these on a side monitor that isn't where I have Aurora, and wouldn't mind them being behind my other random stuff at times.

There are so many graphs and pie charts I'd love to see it isn't even funny!
Please please list your ideas

Maybe some of these are already visible in game, but with the state of the user interface as it is, who knows?  I'm still fairly new.  Here are a couple.

* How many and in what proportions minerals are distributed through my building activities.  How much of that is recoverable via scrapping?  X% of total duranium in facilities, Y% in mil ships, Z% stockpiled, etc.  Where is it all by system?
* How much sorium is being used per time period on average by mil ships, commercial ships, and possibly civ ships.
* Total minerals available in systems (bodies, asteroids, comets).  Sort of a sum of the mining tab across all colonies as well as potential colonies.
* Some way to look at my total mining rate (with/without civilian) versus total resources to guestimate how long I have, which ones will give out first, etc.
* Some way to measure how many resources I'm using in weapons and ships in an engagement.  Not sure that is even possible?
* More detailed empire mining tab.  How much is coming from surface mines, versus asteroid/comet mining versus civilian by mining?  As well as by system.

Any ideas on additional things to graph?

The entire set of terraforming data would be really interesting to map, although there's a lot of values to track. 
I'll add that

Even if it's not fully integrated with the graphing (not sure how you'd filter so many things with tick boxes in the current UI!) but if you are able to pull the data into the database I can report on it in Excel which is good enough.  :)

Also, is this open source? I'd be happy to potentially contribute to things if it's in a language I can work with.  👍

Using 1.   9.   5 Aurora.     Everything opens up ok but nothing graphs when I select it.     Just an empty window. 

I just tested the original v1 against 1.  9.  5 and it works fine, you need to save the game, let time pass (say, 5 days) then save the game again all while the dashboard is running. 

You should add a readme file in the installation.  For examole when you launch the application it's not really clear you need to select the aurora database.

You could also add the information on the instsllation and how to make it works from your previous posts.

Just a suggestion.

Good work anyway, I love your tool so far.

That is a good idea, I will include a readme in the next release.

Thank you! Any ideas on additional things to graph?

Oh, please extract this into a different directory from Aurora, please do not unzip this directly into your Aurora directory.

You should edit your first post to include this line.

Also: thanks! This is an amazingly useful idea.
