EDA of economies in colonized systems

Was interested in overall state of economies that turned out.
Filtered only stations that were created by players (id begins with 42...) , excluding construction sites, updated after TB3 rolled out.
Data source: Spansh stations dump

Notebook published on Kaggle: https://www.kaggle.com/code/iananic...ed-systems/notebook?scriptVersionId=241413622
It has more plots then shown here. Also, all plots are interactive, and can be downloaded in a single zip to explore further.

Value of 1 is equivalent to 100%. So for example, Coriolis in orbit of HMC with pristine resources will get 140% == 1.4 extraction economy.

Is it missing many? There's more then 20 000 systems here, and about 25 000 stations. Not for from actual numbers in my understanding.
It's enough for anyone who sends data to EDDN to simply visit system and stations' economy data would be recorded.

Anyway, I believe it will represent the active core of colony stations.

From Frontier's earlier official data releases, about 2/3 of colonised systems had got an EDDN ping reflecting that status (and of those systems, most of them have data that's only 1-2 weeks old). That ratio has probably improved in the months since as the pace of new system addition slows down.

So I'd expect the majority of systems to be in it - especially now that the rate of colonisation has slowed down significantly - but it's very likely that some of the station types (settlements, most obviously) are under-represented because a lot of them will have been built for their system properties, rather than to dock at.

I mean I can pretty much pick any colonized system around me, look it up on Inara and the details are wrong; missing stations, missing facilities, out-of-date economy info due to the latter...

Certainly. But for questions like what's the proportion of assets of a particular type / economy / etc. it might still be about right considering all known systems.

(Except for settlements, where it'll be massively underestimating their numbers, though probably not too bad on type)

I’m inclined to agree. I’d take anything from Inara with a big grain of salt.

I probably screwed up the search, but I couldn’t find the system I’ve been working on the past six weeks in that database. And even Inara has something at least for it. Albeit with several of the locations still showing as construction sites in spite of being completed. Maybe I’ll try again when I’m at my computer to see if I missed something on my phone.

New version:

Elite Dangerous: economy of colonised systems

Explore and run machine learning code with Kaggle Notebooks | Using data from No attached data sources
www.kaggle.com www.kaggle.com
(it just began download of fresh data so might take a while to complete)

What's new:
  • extracting and saving as CSV market data (supply/demand of commodities)
  • quick analysis of a limited selection of commodities' supply/demand relative to economy it's produced in

Examples:
1750285535401.png

1750285457362.png


It has 3 subplots:
  • most left is a box plot that is good for distributions (except here in most cases it quickly collapses because most points are close to 0)
  • next goes a simple histogram - number of stations per supply/demand bin
  • and last is a density heatmap, with the distribution of supply/demand on a station vs economy proportion of that same station, split by tiles, each colored according to a number of stations that fall into each tile.
Separately built plots for all stations and only including stations with said economy strength greater or equal 1.

Drawing conclusions, it can be said, for example, that supply/demand of Insulating membranes is greatly unbalanced, without ever crossing 50kT supply in any of the colonised systems we have data on. Compared to much more balanced Tritium.
