ResFlow (Logistics and Storage Overlays)

For Songs of Syx V71
GitHub[github.com]

See where resources go. ResFlow adds two overlays to visualize stockpiles and hauling flows, plus quick filtering so you can focus on one resource or whole chains.

Adds: Storage Overlay • Flow Tracker Overlay • Resource filter bar • Analytics panels

Script auto-activates, new save NOT required.

This is my attempt at creating a visual flow of all logistics in your map. I wanted to see immediately where things were, and where they were going. It adds visual overlays similar to those that already exist in the game, except with animated arrows / storage overlays,

• Two new buttons appear below the minimap.
• Click Storage Overlay or Flow Tracker to enable.
• A resource filter bar appears when an overlay is active.
• Hover a resource to filter, or left-click to lock one or more resources.

Flow Tracker

• Shows producers/consumers/storage for the selected resource.
• Draws arrows/paths to show direction, and optional bottleneck/heatmap views.
• Particles are the easiest way to read flow type (their color indicates the movement type).
• Active haulers update periodically

Storage Overlay

• Highlights stockpiles by how full they are.
• Shows what’s stored
•

What counts as a “flow”

• ResFlow visualizes where resources are being hauled between rooms/stockpiles.
• If nothing is currently moving, you may see fewer arrows/particles.

Room colors (Flow Tracker)

• Green = Production
• Red = Consumption
• Blue = Storage
• Yellow = Both

Arrows / paths

• Arrows show direction along hauling paths.
• At far zoom the path indicators are intentionally simplified, so particles are usually the easiest way to read “what kind of flow” you’re looking at.

Particles (what they mean)

• Particles are the clearest flow-type indicator: their color tells you what kind of movement it is.
• More visible particles generally means a route is busier.
• Particle colors:
  • Green-Cyan = Production → Storage
  • Red-Orange = Storage → Consumption
  • Yellow = Production → Consumption
  • Light Blue = Storage → Storage
• You can disable particles if you prefer a cleaner view.

• Expand the filter bar (Question Mark) for common toggles:
  • Room Colors / Flow Paths
  • Resource Chains (view full production chain)
  • Logistics Heatmap / Show Bottlenecks
  • Efficiency Colors
  • Analytics Panel / Advanced Analytics
  • Config Panel (in-game sliders)

• Green = Production
• Red = Consumption
• Blue = Storage
• Yellow = Both

Opens when "Analytics Panel" toggle is enabled. Shows detailed statistics for the selected/hovered resource.

• Toggle overlays: minimap buttons
• Filter by resource: hover icons in horizontal bar
• Lock filter: left-click icons (multi-select)
• Room-focused filter: hold Shift and hover a room (uses the game’s Undo keybind; default is typically Shift)

ResFlow uses defaults unless you edit the config file or save settings from the in-game Config Panel.

• Performance depends on settlement size and enabled features (heatmap/haulers are heavier).
