What does the quick calculator do, and what are its limits?
sourced
It answers three questions from one set of dials - how much gas, what it costs to build and pay back, and how many tonnes and acres it eats. Critically it has no model of its own: it runs the same engine over the same assembled graph the canvas does, so the two can never quote different numbers for the same plant. It is a first-pass sizing tool, not a DPR.
