This has become my most essential tool as it helps me decide which crops I need to plant, which trees/flowers I need to harvest, etc. in order to fill the facilities to full capacity.

The "run time" drop down doesn't seem to take into account the fact that other players are working the facilities, so I keep mine set to "remaining capacity". Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong. All I know is that I LOVE THIS TOOL and that it is generally spot-on.
When you look at the ingredient planner it shows what is needed to fill according to the specific time frame without anyone working you facilities, there is no way for the program to know how many people would work your facilities. With it set to remaining capacity, it is just showing what is needed to just fill your facilities at that moment, if someone works your facilities and you would reload you planner, it would show different amounts, because more was used in your facilities, I always set mine for 15 days, that way I know what I am seeing is enough to run my facilities for a full run.
