Same, I cannot plot anything like this....
The bodies search seems to be borked as well. I can't even put a system in 'reference system' as the list won't load, nor have a search succeed.
My hosting provider had a few issues over the weekend, I've checked and everything seems to be working correctly now.The bodies search seems to be borked as well. I can't even put a system in 'reference system' as the list won't load, nor have a search succeed.
Thank you mr Spansh! Again big kudos for your amazing bodies search. I'm still having fun cleaning errors in the database by hunting oddities down, and am getting more folks interested in the same, hah!
Jup, it works now.
First of all...
thanks for this precious tool...
saved many jumps...
Then...
In these days i have reached beagle point with the help of the neutron router...
After reaching beagle, i had the plan to travel back to colonia, via the left side of the galaxy...
I had planted in the gal map of the game some random bookmark to mark my route...
the neutron router show me the route that i have set up.
But the navicomputer of my ship refused to calculate the route.
I had understand why.
So...
here is my question,
Is there a tool that help in finding routes with fsd boost via syntesis?

Station search is live. I had to refactor a lot of things (and in the process found quite a few bugs which I've fixed). There may still be some bugs but I have tested quite extensively.
I'm not 100% convinced about some of the field displaying so I may tweak it going forward. I will also be adding in discounted module and ship costs at a later stage.

I spent some time making the module and market display a little easier to navigate and read. You can now display the buy price/sell price/demand/supply directly in the results table.
I've also incorporated module discounts and the ability to sort by module price, this required an index rebuild which is currently underway and should finish in a few hours. Whilst testing this I discovered a current issue where the station controlling faction isn't being populated in the index which will be resolved when the index is rebuilt next (tomorrow sometime).
Edit: The discounted modules and ships price is live

First time posting.
I have just really seriously started playing ED on Xbox one. My question to you is on the R2R site you do. How is the data updated. Do you get info from Frontier on which bodies have already been scanned. Many thanks for any info.

Carlito, we/spansh/EDSM and EDDN do not get the data directly from frontier, we get it from players using the right tools... PC users use third party tool like EDDiscovery or EDMC... For Xbox, one has to use the 'console updater' from the EDSM.net website in order to help, hang on...

Many thanks for your help. Registered to these sites now. Looking forward to taking flight later.
I've now added a nightly data dump to https://spansh.co.uk/dumps. This is a dump of the entire galaxy from my data warehouse. It includes every system, body, station (including market, outfitting and shipyard data).
It's broken down by system as one JSON array of systems (though each system is on it's own line to ease parsing for those who would prefer that).
There may still be some data inaccuracies where I've made a mistake or inherited bad data. Let me know if you find any issues.
The format is largely self explanatory and is largely based on the EDSM nightly dump format/key names (though is obviously missing EDSM id's). Every system and body has an id64 (and as such the warehouse is missing the roughly 14million at last count bodies without ids).

You know what would make life tons easier for someone who plots the route for several passenger missions with each customer demanding a different route? being able to move way points up and down the route with a single click, like a "Mov Up" and "Move Down" button next to each way point!
Awesome tool, thanks
Don't know if it's been requested already but are there any plans to account for refueling in the neutron plotter?
Not the current version, but I am working (gradually) on a full plotter that takes into account neutrons and refueling, though it's in very early stages at the moment.
made account just for this:
why does the Road to riches tool zigzag back and forth? I mean zigzagging side to side is ok and expected, but why does it go 30 ly away only to return to the star that is 5 light years away from the star you started at instead of going to the 5 ly away star and then to the 30 ly away star that is less than 30ly away from it?
it frustrates the hell out of me but since this is tool is otherwise the most comprehensive one, I keep coming back... even though it makes me want to strangle the coder.
using the basic qwerty keyboard as an example... starting with Q and ending with O, with E,R,G,B,J and N as stars with planets I want to scan, it should logically go QERGBNJO but it goes something like QEGRFNJBHO!
which is really freaking annoying!
The other tool I use frequently (but can never remember the name of) does not allow me to decide which worlds I want to scan, as it only lists things from water worlds to better paying ones, but it at least does the the route sensibly!
but other than that annoyance, the road to riches tool is REALLY FREAKING AMAZING! thanks for making it!
Did a thing. I bookmarked every system on my list from Volkov to Diaguandri. Now all I have to do is visit them in order I deem the best and then unbookmark them all. rather annoying to see all those loops back to the system right next to the one I had been 20 jumps ago...

That would be me.... Nice way to introduce yourself. One thing you may wish to bear in mind is that the problem to solve this is known as the travelling salesman problem, one of the most well known NP-Hard problems in computer science.
You should probably check the number of jumps you have to make then check to see whether or not the system suggested you take a route that works out to be less. The other tool you're talking about uses a greedy routing algorithm (it always picks the closest next target) which can produce reasonable routes but will often end up very inoptimal towards the end of a route.
My code starts with exactly that route and then iterates over that route to minimise the total number of jumps. The routes aren't guaranteed to be the absolute best (the code uses a 2-opt replacement system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-opt) but they are normally pretty close. If it's zigzagging around it's because it's found that doing that turns out to be less jumps than the greedy route.
There are other algorithms which are somewhat better (3-opt and lin-kernighan) though I haven't had time to implement those yet (the algorithms are also drastically harder to understand and implement).
If you feel that a route isn't optimal then you can give me the link to the route and I can take a look.
