Thank you for that hint. The regional checkmark wasn't set in the options. I will try it out with the new setting and get back here, if there is still any problem.
MattG's Observatory plugins
- Thread starter MattG
- Start date
Not sure if this is the right place to ask...
I have (I think) the latest Observatory, but I'm seeing this under the bioinsights tab:
It doesn't seem to refresh at all.
What am I doing wrong?

Make sure you have latest BioInsights (from here). Make sure you've pushed "Start Monitor" button (you probably have, but best to check).
You can try a Read All so it can do a background database refresh.
If all that fails, pop on to Observatory discord and DM me the log (if you right click "BioInsights" tab and select Open Data Folder, you'll find BioInsights.Log - zip that up and DM to me (don't post it here!))
Ah, cheers! I'll check the plugin version
As you suspected, it was the versionAh, cheers! I'll check the plugin version
Thanks again!

Question about the BioInsights plugin and playing in a team.
From what I understood, when doing an FSS scan, only the cmdr who scans a planet will get details about the possible bio-signals displayed on the BioInsights tab. The other cmdrs in a team won't get this info. Is there any way to have this information appear on other cmdrs' BioInsights tab as well?

Hmm, not currently. I'll have a think about if it might be possible in future though I think wing exploration is so rare it might not be worth the effort - but I'll ponder it.
Here's another of these pesky Electricae Radialem, but this time with a twist.
First the twist. The body is 'Cepheus Dark Region B Sector WY-A b0 A 1'. I visited it because I found that Canonn Bioforge lists a few non-argon atmosphere bodies as locations of Electricae Radialem, beside the much more common argon atmosphere bodies (see https://bioforge.canonn.tech/?entryid=Electricae Radialem). Never seen a non-argon Electricae Radialem and I wanted to catch one. Besides, as only a very few such locations were reported, it seemed possibile that there was something unusual about them. (A few of the search hits look weird: body with distance 0 to arrival point, such as Scutum Dark Region VK-N b7-6 4 d, so perhaps there has been some damage along the way.)
On spansh (searching for genus Electricae on bodies with anything except argon-based atmosphere) I found some 100+ such reports of non-argon atmosphere, one of which was pretty close to my current location. I decided to double check.
On visit, the real atmosphere was found to be argon-based. So ... Spans, and perhaps Bioforge, had probably got wrong data (unless the galaxy changed). So there are possibly a number of bad entries poisioning the statistics that Bioforge produces, and possibly also the Bioinsight criteria for predictions.
Suggestion: drop 'NeonRich' from the criteria for this species, unless there is a verifiable occurrence somewhere. At present, it seems likely to be incorrect.
The standard peskiness involved non-predictability, but as there seem to be several nebulae around this sector, it's probably a question of distance again. The Pueliae nebula being fairly close to finished (current max distance 153 ly)), I'm considering moving here when I'm finished to check if this one is different.

Hi, I have a text size question. I love using BioInights, but whenever I tab out of the screen, it changes the zoom and so text size so that I can't see much more than exo names. I don't want EO to take up a whole screen on monitor 2. Is there any way that I can stop BioInsights from changing the text size / Zoom?

Hmm, not seen anyone report anything like that. I assume you're using the magnifying glass to set the zoom? You're not trying to use anything in windows to zoom (like CTRL +, etc?).
You could try setting the zoom in settings rather than using the magnifier - I don't expect it to have any effect, but there was an issue with Evaulator recently where it wasn't saving the zoom level when done through magnifier.
Do you play in Full Screen or Borderless? If the former, give Borderless a try - maybe it's related to the change in resolution between Full Screen and desktop?
I didn't realise that BioInsights had its own settings, I thought I had to use Core.
That seems to have done it, BI was set to 175%!

It's likely wing-related - I've not tried it in years, but not sure you get all the Scan events when doing exploration in a wing. That, or it can happen if you previously visited the system some time back and it won't regenerate the Scan events then either.
Tried it out last night and it will be part of my standard load-out next to EDDiscovery from now on. Thanks.
The BioInsights plugin is particularly helpful and I like the Evaluator more than the EDD version.
