Grade mix by fleet size
Each bar is centered on the middle of Satisfactory. Better grades extend left and worse grades extend right, so a group that leans right carries more risk than the motor carriers around it.
Select a row to see the motor carriers in it. Select a colored segment to see one grade.
Under 10 power units, most records are too thin to grade, so the view opens on fleets. Why?
