It would have to be two, and I'm 90% sure I haven't missed two ammonias.
Sometimes I wonder if Frontier can actually do math.
The most participated CG of last week had 7,400 participants (rounded up from: https://inara.cz/galaxy-communitygoals/)
Let's do some math. The goal is 27,000,000 points. An Ammonia world is worth 1, mapped it's worth 3, so 9,000,000 mapped Ammonia worlds in total.
I'm gonna go with best case scenario here, and say that every player does an equal amount, and maps every single Ammonia world. I'm also going to be generous and say that there are going to be a total of 10,000 participants. That means every participant needs to map 900 Ammonia worlds. While definitely doable, especially with a tool such as https://spansh.co.uk/ammonia, I think it's absurd to think that all 10,000 players will do that much, when they only need top 75% for the rewarded module, and even more absurd to expect the top 10% - 25% to carry the excess.
So either Frontier cannot do math, or they do not want this goal completed. You decide I guess.

If this isn't an oversight, I'm pretty sure that this CG is set up to fail for story reasons.
That link is only for already discovered aws I assume?
That is correct. Spansh can't report data it does not have.
Thought so.
However. The awarded points that previously have been posted here I guess is calculated from already discovered and mapped aw:s. Do we have any data if undiscovered ones yield more? Logically I think they should. After all, the faction in this cg wants information. It would be rather weird if they just would settle with thousands of commanders bringing in the exact information from worlds that there already is data on. New information should be worth more.
This is great, thanks! I had decided to pootle around the Pleiades as I knew there are a few AWs in the region. After coming across 2 AWs in 30 or 40 jumps, I discovered your tool, and now I have an 80++ AW route from the Pleiades to the CG system and I'm around a third of the way through it.
CGs, however they're deployed, really give me a motivation to fly, dunno why!

PS Of course you can't find unexplored AWs using Spansh's tool, but then unless you are exploring 1,000Lys++ from the bubble, it's extremely unlikely that you'll find an untagged AW.
We look forward to the results of your investigation
I know at least 1 of the AW i handed in last night was saying it hadn't been mapped before, didn't notice any great increase in payout. I'm probably not paging through all my new AW just to hand them in to the CG - too much data
I'd say about 4 hours.
But my OCD compelled me to FSS any system that showed Unexplored bodies in the Nav Panel (even if i knew it wont count to the CG)
Usually to travel from one system with AW to the next one i had to do between 1 and 3 jumps at most (not an optimal approach, i know) plus the 500+ Ly traveled (in my trusty DBX sporting an experimental Extended-Range FSD) to deliver the data.

I'm currentyl in Norma Arm so most likely any aw I found will be undiscovered. However in the total of 37418 first discovered systems there has been "only" 477 ammonia worlds. So I think I'm also one of those who question whether this cg actually can reach its goal.
But how do I turn this in - as Universal Cartography data? Does it need to be first mapped, or does remapping work as well?Road triiiip
(while dss-ing AW - not sure if FSS-in unexplored bodies helps - will test it if/when i will deliver my first batch of 50 dssed AWs)
I'm FSS-ing and then DSS-ing them, all previously mapped/discovered. (nowhere near Pleiades/bubble is untouched!)
I'm hoping that this will be the best approach

As a native English speaker I can tell you: I don't know.
There has been some discussion. All I can say is that it will probably be better than a G5 engineered DSS. How much better? Don't know.
There don't seem to be any negatives.
Well... after a bit of consideration, don't think I'll be doing this one. I'm away for more than half of it... and cherry-picking ammonia worlds just feels like it'll make my eyeballs bleed, and I'll probably be out on the street if I don't help pack the car and buy supplies for the trip XD.
Though maybe next time, this sort of CG can be for something more common like Icy Worlds (Make Icy Worlds Great!)

Yes, turns UC data at the CG station
Each unexplored (by you) AW will count as 1 report if you FSS it.
IF you also MAP it, it will count as 3 reports (even if you did not had to FSS it first)
To be perfectly clear: the points are not additive as in FSS+DSS does not count as 1+3= 4 report points. It counts as 3 report points
If you check my previous post - i did a road trip inside the bubble mapping 50 AW (and fss-ing them if necessary) and i got 150 reports counting to the CG
IIRC, the last exploration CG we had counted as 1 report any system turned in under the form of UC data.
A jump and honk in a previously not-visited (not-explored) system would yield 1 report and fully fss-ing and mapping an entire system would yield the same 1 report.
An approach that favored economy route plotting for a quick jump and honk trip.
however, last night in 4 hours i mapped 50 AW in the bubble - got 150 report points and 52 millions credits
I mapped only the AW, not a single other planet, even when the AW was a close pair with a hmc. And i selected systems where the AW was closer than 1000 ls from the drop point.
Can you at least pls signup for the CG, so upper 75% have better chance of getting the module?
