Summary view / section #183

I find the tool very useful, but there is one thing that is really missing and I find it surprising not to see: Summary view.

A sum of number of Assemblers of each type and total, and sum of number of miners and smelters in total. It would be also good to have them be summarised in generic units.

I.e. I would like to know how many assemblers I would need to craft in total to execute the given build, or how many miners for coal, iron and copper I need in total. Miners and assemblers could be done by using prefered miner, but also (or better as an addition), also in terms of total mining rate (then converted into burner miners and electric miners and ones with modules). Would be great for exploring builds and seeing spectrum of options.

Similarly with assemblers. I would like to see how many assemblers I need in total (and their cost in some sense), and how many I need if I select different levels of machines for entire build (The situations of in-between like mixing two types of machine, can then be easily intuitively figured out by interpolation).
