Announcing EDTutorials.com and Engineering Material Finder!

I'm extremely excited to announce the creation of EDTutorials.com This will be the definitive resource for learning everything about playing Elite Dangerous. As a collaborative effort initially between Exigeous, Level 11 and the Anti-Xeno Initiative it will include curated content from a wide variety of creators and groups. We've launched with nearly 200 guides covering every aspect of playing Elite and will grow quickly via my and other creators and group's content. If you or your group would like to be a part of this effort please contact us via the Team page through the Level 11 Discord.

EDTutorials.com also includes the Material Finder, our first tool to help you locate various engineering and synthesis materials around the galaxy. Powered by data from Cannon Research through the ED Market Connector Plugin the tool will allow you to search for specific materials over a specific range, you will then be presented with a list of systems where that material was actually collected by other players. While this in no way guarantees you will find the material at least you know it was found in that system. The tool will grow over time with many features planned. As it's powered by the Cannon Research plugin for ED Market Connector we ask that you run that plugin if you find the tool useful.

So, there is nothing to be seen in EDMC or the Cannon output in EDMC?

Not pertaining to materials, no - this isn't the plugins primary function at all - it's to show system and mission information for Cannon. As I know them and they have access to your local data and are logging things already I asked them to add the features I needed so it just happens in the background.

As well, since your DB is local (to you) it would not be as up to date as say Inara or some of the other tools for locating mats?

I think you're missing two things - first I update the data from Cannon every 5 minutes, 24 hours a day so it's never more than 5 minutes behind (and I can adjust that to anything I want, that just seemed more than reasonable). Second this isn't at all like the tracking Inara does, this is tracking what commanders actually pick up, when, where, system state, etc. etc. So the information is used very differently. Inara knows what's in your ship, also on some sort of delay (not sure how much but I believe it's much shorter than 10 minutes) just for YOU, it's not shared in any way for the community to be able to build a tool like this (at least not that I've ever seen). The key here is tracking WHERE you pick up things (system name, faction, power, system state, etc) so that you can search it to see where people are actually find things.

The goal is simple. You need Imperial Shielding but don't really know where to look. You search the tool for the past X hours (24 is the default) and it will not only give you a list of systems where that's actually been collected but also the historical system state information to tell you what system state types to search. Soon I'll add a routing tool so you can enter your starting system and it will plot you the most efficient route from start through the top X systems that are known to have the material. This is specifically designed for High Grade Emission searching, as that's primarily where system state matters, but can be used for any type of material period. If say you search Yittrium you should see a huge amount from the systems with the Crystal Shards as you can gather so many there so quickly..

Making sense now?

Good work, I appreciate anyone who develops tools for Elite.

You're most welcome, as do I as like you I couldn't play Elite without the 3rd party tools and I'm very happy to be a part of that. Like the others I have a lot of features planned and will improve it over time.

It doesn't have any beginners content, to the point that the domain name is almost misleading. Id say its missing the content of obsidian ants legendary hour long video... and the brochures of alpha orbital.

I've definitely appreciated the depth of your youtube stuff, but a new player finding that link via google is not going to be helped with what's there. Or the content is assuming a player already knows much more stuff than they would perhaps.

While I don't have a ton of beginner content I do have several, like making your first million,etc. It's certainly an area I'll be focusing on soon as that's the idea behind the site - to bring content from many many different areas to cover as much of the game as possible. As for the name you're kidding me, right? I didn't name it "EliteForBeginners.com" - I named it EDTutorials and that's exactly what it is. A site dedicated to learning Elite, that doesn't just mean the first few hours as the in-game tutorials are fairly decent for that.

Morning, guess it's a case of teething, last night I could load the site, but no content or subpages, this morning the site does not load at all, which may as well be location specific....

The Materialfinder with history data, now that's just what the doctor ordered indeed!

I can say that not too long ago, I was a total beginner, and his videos were my go to source for spot on information, I always said Exigeous created the Elite Dangerous- "The Missing Manual", and here it is....:)
