Thread: New webpage to view current resources by item
Nice utility. Has a lot of potential.
It would be more useful if the resource stats reported were the same as the stats needed for that weapon or subcomponent. For example, conductivity is very important in most weapons, but that stat is not one of those listed.
I don't mind having a long list of available resources for that weapon.
I believe this has a LOT of potential. But it needs work, especially the output chart. Make it only display one row per resource or somehow seperate the resources from each other. Either that or keep the planet in a group. Your call i suppose. Nice job, though.. thanks!
Hi all yous guys 
Version two is now online - would love your feedback.
Changes:
Separated the resources into blocks for each type
Theimportant stats are now in bold
Listed required materials and quantity
Thanks all,
Dazzla D
What might be more useful is to list either the last 5 shifts for each resource, or maybe the top 5 (weighted by experimentation percentages)plus the current shift. This way people can quickly identify what they are looking for on the bazaar or vendors by name. Also, they can get an idea of how well the current shift compares to previous shifts of the same resource.

Thanks Idris, but that's not really what I'm aiming it for - its mainly for miner weaponsmiths so they can mine the best stuff for their current needs.
Cheers,

If you read very carefully at the bottom of some of the pages in very fine print it says that the resource information is from swgcraft.com.
You really should put this information in big print in a more prominent location and possible alsoa link to swgcraft.com.
That is all that they ask for letting you use their data.
Dazzla, This has a lot of potential. However it appears that you're taking the resources from current spawns, Foomans tool already does that. What would be helpful for me, and I'm sure, most newer WS that haven't been tracking spawns since day 0. Is be able to compare past spawns of resources. So that I know which one would be better to try to aquire. I can do this by manually entering the resources stats into foomans or by doing the math or making an educated guess based on the important attributes but it gets tough when there are a number of past spawns to compare.
For example on Kauri there hasn't been a spawn of Byrothsis Crystalline Gemstone in ages. However if yougo to Stun Baton it doesn't list the stats of the two different Byrothsis names (that SWG has) that have spawned on the server.
As far as Planet is concerned you might want tofilter out that info.I don't really care what planet the resource came from and if i'm going to harvest it I already have that info from Swg or from Foomans tool.
thanks,
