Now seems to be a good time to create this thread, as a new patch hits with less worker count at game start. This destroyed all build orders and people need to start experimenting again.
I have updated the tool for the current patch, version 5.0.16. A live version of the tool (as a website) can be found here:
https://burnysc2.github.io/sc2-planner
Source code can be found here, written in react:
https://github.com/BurnySc2/sc2-planner
How to use:
- Pick a race by clicking the race icon in the top left (terran, protoss, zerg)
- Click units, structures or upgrades on the right side to add them to the build order
- At the top, you can re-order build order items, or click on them to delete
Overview:
The rows are divided into sections
- worker production (green)
- actions (red)
- unit production (pink)
- structures (teal)
- upgrades (purple)
The time, next to the race-selection in the top left, shows when the last build order item was issued (top time) and when it completed (bottom time). These are, of course, estimates / simulations.
Example build orders:
Terran: Reaper expand into reactored hellions

Let me know if something is not working as intended or if you have any questions.
Happy build order crafting
