Hello! I'm proud to announce the first release of EDPathFinder, an application to facilitate farming of planetary base data points. It uses the data from the excellent spreadsheet by Cmdr dja - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IVPYPqXbqC7pYY2UggEXLSO0CMaE0ksZMB2Ejlh0aYI/
The application allows you to pick the materials you're interested in, as well as filter bases based on size and security level. You then pick your current location and number of bases you wish to visit.
RELEASE 1.3 NOTES
https://github.com/neotron/EDPathFinder/releases/tag/1.3.0
This release adds two new routing tools. Valuable exploration routing is used to create routes that hit a lot of high value systems (all already explored, so no first-explorer bonuses). It allows both circular and A->B routes (so you can make a valuable route to Colonia for example, although due to how systems are filtered, most systems would be around Colonia).
I also have a tool for custom routing where you can enter systems to route through manually. It can also load mission destination systems (note that a lot of missions don't have destinations in the journal - mainly delivery and courier missions show up).
RELEASE 1.1.2 NOTES
https://github.com/neotron/EDPathFinder/releases/tag/1.1.2
In this release I add additional filtering based on distance from the entry point. The distance data is rather incomplete, which means that a majority of all planets have unknown distances.
In addition to the distance filtering, you can now zoom the images (or use fixed sizing like in the previous release). This will in many cases allow you to see much better details in the maps.
RELEASE 1.1.1 NOTES
The main feature in this release is filtering of settlements based on journal scanning events (Issue #3, Issue #4). If enabled, settlements scanned within the last two weeks by the selected commander will be filtered out. In addition the following fixes and improvements were made:
Improved Image Viewer
MORE DETAILS
An optimized travel path (using Traveling Sales Person solving) will be generated for you. As you click on a step in the list, the system name is copied to the clipboard and you'll see information about the base such as size, and known material drops. In addition a map/overview will be shown of the base to help with finding the datapoints.
You can download it for Mac and Windows here:

The main feature in this release is filtering of settlements based on journal scanning events (Issue #3, Issue #4). If enabled, settlements scanned within the last two weeks by the selected commander will be filtered out. In addition the following fixes and improvements were made:
- Support font/window scaling on Windows (Issue #2)
- Make Threat Level filtering checkboxes to allow any combination of scanning.
- Fix a bug where the settlement name was copied instead of the system name, when clicking on a system in the route list.
- Limits route calculation time to 1 second. I found in testing that going from a few hundred ms to 17 seconds (for 100 systems) resulted in a route that was less than 10 ly shorter. It's not worth the extra time to get a "perfect" route when it's such a small difference.
- Updates the current system (and commander name) based on journal parsing. This means it'll automatically start where you are right now when you make a new route.
Improved Image Viewer
- Images are scaled when the window is resized.
- Select between all available images for a settlement.
- Added map legend as an available image.
- Disk cache to prevent having to download images repeatable.
