Engineers Commodity Route planner for Engineers

[Limoncello Lizard]

I am still lost,, for example. I need " Atypical Disrupted wake echoes, Chemical processors, and Praseodymium " .. none of which I see on the list, nor do I see them in EDDB ... so just where do I look to find this stuff? Is there a site to show all the required needs for the upgrades?

Praesodymium, you get through mining. Either in a metallic or metal rich ring, pristine is best. Same with samarium, osmium, platinum, and bromellite, you can't buy them, they have to be mined. Icy rings for bromellite.
The wake echoes, you get through scanning wakes, chemical processors from killing ships. Missions will work as well.

I've added the 5 new engineers to the planner in the OP.

The picture is getting a little large to display on a browser, so I'm not sure I'll add the next lot when they come.

It won't let me give you more rep. Good stuff mate.

Several of the commodities needed by the engineers may be bought at certain stations. I've made a route planner with locations for these commodities and all the known engineers.

.
Note: I've selected just one location for each commodity, thought the other locations are usually nearby to these. Where possible, I've picked one with a station close to the star.
.
Example of how to use:
Once I have all the other ingredients sorted, I want to take my Python to Tod McQuinn and upgrade a few multicannons.
From the commodity list, I need Heatsink Interlink, Magnetic Emitter Coil, Radiation Baffle and Reinforced Mounting Plate.
.
From my current "home", the closest commodity is radiation baffle at Pleutarama, 131ly.
From Pleutarama, it's 126ly to Findalibila to get reinforced mounting plate.
Findalibila to Vetta is 84ly to get heatsink interlink.
vetta to Chemaluk is 184ly for magnetic emitter coil.
Chemaluk to Wolf 397 is 82ly to see Tod.
The return trup to "home" from Wolf 397 is 273ly.
Total trip is 880ly. But it would have taken me 546ly just to go to see Tod without buying any commodities at all. Well worth the detour.

Unthinkably excellent. Duly +1'd

Amazing Job! I was thinking of doing something similar as I hate backtracking, this is far better than what I would of come up with for sure well done CMDR!

One minor detail, i don't see CMM Composite on your table

I didn't include the commodities that are fairly common (CMM Composite, HN Shock Mount, Insulating Membrane, Micro Controllers), as they can be purchased in many locations all over the bubble. The 11 commodities that are in the table are only available from a few stations in a small area of space, which is why this planner can be useful.

Fair enough, i was just being selfish as I was planning my next circle around and need to pick up some CMM to finish a grade 5 access
