Reported, Confirmed, ???
- Thread starter Enride

Reported is what others have found.
Confirmed is what you have found.
The "..." is rumors about strange things going on.
I hope I am right..
Okay but when do I get entries into my "reported"? When I enter a system that someone else have explored (but I havent)?
And some of my entries have something reported at one location, but confirmed at some other location? How is that even possible?
When someone discovers something and goes to a station and sells the data, it shows as "reported", as in someone reported the existence of something.
When you go to that location/phenomena/etc and scan it yourself, and then you sell the data at a station if will become "confirmed", as in you have confirmed the existence of something.

Your entries would go into "reported" if you end up being the very first person in the entire game to find it. "Reported" means "we've heard that someone has seen this in the region."
"Reported" locations are the first time it was seen by anyone. "Confirmed" locations are the first time it was seen by you. They can very easily be different.
That's because some things exist in more than one place. Take some lava spouts for instance, they're all over the galaxy, so you can have lava spouts reported in planet X and planet Y, and then you confirm the ones in planet Y, they will still be just reported in planet X.
It's quite puzzling, isn't it?
I think most people expected the Codex to show you all your own discoveries (I did). It does not do this.
It seems to show (I'm still guessing) who discovered a particular type of object in a particular region, for example a T Tauri Star in whatever Region. Then when someone else finds a T Tauri star in that same region, it will be shown as 'Confirmed.'
I am personally a bit perplexed about what this is supposed to accomplish for us, but perhaps it'll make sense in time.

Alrite, so its a "type" of planet not the actual planet. Got it got it, I was just confused that it details who and where something was reported.
As far as I can tell from the replies in here, it can be treated more as a "checklist" to see if youve actually seen every kind of star, body, phenomena etc that is present in the galaxy. Like a collection or "bucketlist"
ahh so its a collections thing this codex. that makes senses. though it doesnt seem to know about all the stuff i discovered BEFORE codex existed, because i stopped jumping to brown dwarf star sytems before the update.
now i just have to work out how to find planets which have those hotspot places from the live stream. none of my mapped ones show anything like locations to visit.

That could be the intention. If so, it's not as interesting as I thought it was going to be, lol.
Well dont take my word for it, I started this thread since I didnt understand it
But if it gets "reported" whenever someone finds a certain type of stellar object, and then gets "confirmed" and turns blue in the menu whenever I find a similar object, It sounds like a collection to me. Something to "complete".

Here’s how Reported & Discovered works. For any particular thing in the Discoveries section in the Codex:Can someone explain to me, as you would explain to an idiot, exactly how the codex discovery works?
What does the reported, confirmed mean? And the grey little "..." icons?
And where can I see what "discoveries" I have made?
I feel like an idiot but I dont get it
- ‘Reported’ is the first discovery of that thing by any cmdr
- ‘Confirmed’ is your discovery of that thing
It’s all by type, not location. So for example for Roseus Braintrees, it’s just about finding an example anywhere, and it’s not about who discovered every single Roseus Braintree location (of which there are many).
For some Stellar Bodies, when you’ve found multiple, you’ll also see your personal records (biggest, smallest, hottest, coldest, etc) within ‘Confirmed’.
Do you need to probe it or is fss enough?
Same here, especially for stars and other common objects.
For the record, I confirmed today that Tesco sells Bacon within the European Region. Cool eh? [up] Its been rumoured that they also sell Eggs, so I'm gonna check that out for breakfast tomorrow.
Depends what you are looking for
I agree that it can be kind of confusing, but I think I have it pretty well worked out.
First, each region has it's own full set of codex entries. When a commander, any commander discovers the first body of a specific type anywhere in a region, that particular body type goes Reported for all other commanders. When a commander personally scans a body that was showing as Reported, of that specific type anywhere in the region, it will show as Confirmed for that particular commander.
Now, some body types has additional variations such as Regular G type stars, Giant G type stars, and Super Giant G type stars. Those show up underneath the main category of G type stars.
Looking at the codex entries in the image below. First thing to notice is that some of the Rumored, Reported, and Confirmed icons are lit up, and others are not. The lit up Reported ones mean that there is a type, or sub-type that has been reported somewhere in the region, that I have not personally found.
First example is the O TYPE STAR. There is a lit up Reported icon with 3 next to it. This means there are three sub-types of O class star that someone else has discovered in the region, but that I have not personally discovered myself. This is indicated by the unlit Confirmed icon with a 0 next to it.
Take for another example, again, the G TYPE STAR. Notice how there is a 2 next to the exclamation point, and a 1 next to the check mark? This means that there are three total sub-types of G class stars. Two of them are still reported, and I have not personally found one of that type, and one is confirmed BY me because I have found one personally. If you look at the first image, there are two reported types and one confirmed type shown.
Look at the L TYPE STAR. The Reported is unlit, and has a 0, while the Confirmed is lit with a 1. This means that there is only one type of L class that has been discovered by any commander, and I have personally found one.
The same above applies to the geological, biological and planetary Codex subsections as well.
Hope this helps.

To get it in the Codex as reported, which is the topic of discussion.
The thing is I see frequently people say you have to sell it, but not what you have to do before. Meanwhile I add things just by using the FSS, and without selling the data. Just wondering if this is a bug or not. I hope not, because this would make the codex useful for deep-space exploring and not just exploring while regularly turning in the data.I think that objects like planetary stuff geysers etc or those new space floating objects, you need to scan them with the composition scanner, but planets etc the FSS is enough. Probing is just for revealing POIs, first mapped tags and extra credits I believe.
I can be mistaken though, but that is what I recall from the streams.
Going in, I thought the point of the codex was personal narrative, which — I assumed — meant it would show where you've been and what you've discovered. Chiefly, some kind of list of what you've first discovered/mapped. As it is, I don't really know why I should care what I'm looking at. Someone else's name in my codex? I'd rather see a log of all my scans. Maybe I'm missing the point.
