Discussion Colonization tool - Architect Tracker

[kf popeye]

I am also developing a tool for system architects to track commodities.

Architect Tracker currently displays required, provided and needed commodities for each construction site you visit. It also displays which commodities are available at the last market you accessed.

Available here: https://github.com/kfpopeye/EliteDangerous

This looks like the simple tracking tool I was looking for. Though FD has provided construction material tracking for your primary station, you're very much on your own for the rest of the facilities in the system.

Thank you very much for making this

Latest update now available. Added fleet carrier and starship cargo tracking. Works nicely in VR with programs like Desktop+ too.

Because that version spoiled my gui, I made some improvements. Possibility to hide certain columns in the table. Hiding provided materials, correction for names because Frontier changed the names of ships a bit, etc https://github.com/kol19pl/EliteDangerous-ArchictectTracker/releases

Added more features

Added dark\light mode UI's
moved settings to EDMC setting tab,
setting saved to EDMC settings
window auto resized to fit content.

Your code still messes up the colors. Additionally, it is too easy to accidentally delete the system you are tracking. I'll expand on my version. I added station sorting by system. removing the necessary transports in the settings and calculations, assuming that we are flying with full transports. No color support. https://github.com/kol19pl/EliteDangerous-ArchictectTracker.

You're welcome to try this tracker, which tracks up to 5 builds, pulling from the journal files. Need to have MS Excel though,

Is "shortfall" what still needs to be purchased? (shortfall = Needed - "Cargo in transit" or (carrier qty+ship qty on your screen ?).

Suggest changed "provided" to "delivered", as that's how it's reflected in the game and journal files. Even change "shortfall" to "Need to Purchase". Cool thanks!

Funny seeing "Red Dwarf" as the FC example... as that's the same name as my FC lol.

Yes shortfall is needs to be purchased.

Can you add the ability to support multiple construction sites? Up to 5 at least! Would make it much easier to manage carrier loading for a system in development

Already does. As many as you want. The site name is a drop down menu or the ">" button will cycle through the sites.

MAJOR update announcement:

I have added

• preferred market tracking : The market column now shows either the cheapest or closest market selling that commodity. Prices and distances are tracked whenever you open a commodity market. Prices are only considered if they are lower than the buy prices of all construction sites . You can switch between the two.
• added row highlighting : Depending on where you are docked, rows are highlighted to indicate:
  • Markets - market is selling the item and you have shortfall.
  • Fleet Carrier - site needs it and fleet carrier has some.
  • Construction site - site needs it and starship has some.
• added information to settings tab
• added column header renaming to the settings tab.

Here's some screenshots:

Just installed your tool + EDMC on a networked laptop, Perfect just what I needed.
Only thing is highlight colours not showing, no big deal really, the tool is perfect as is.
