Settings Reference

Open EDMC -> File -> Settings -> RavenColonial_EDMC to configure the plugin.

API Key

Setting	Meaning
RavenColonial API Key	Authenticates writes to RavenColonial. Required for project create/link, depot sync, contribution reporting, Fleet Carrier cargo updates, and site repair.
Show API Key	Temporarily shows the saved key for review.

Stealth Settings

Stealth settings reduce what the plugin sends to RavenColonial.

Setting	Effect
Stealth: Fleet Carrier data	Stops Fleet Carrier commodity and CAPI cargo sync to RavenColonial.
Stealth: commander ship cargo	Stops sending the current ship cargo hold and loadout snapshot.
Stealth: all construction delivery reporting	Stops construction depot progress, contribution totals, and CargoDepot delivery reporting.

Use stealth settings when you want local plugin behavior but do not want that data written to RavenColonial.

Update Settings

Setting	Effect
Check for updates on startup	Checks GitHub releases after EDMC starts.
Automatically install updates	Downloads and stages a newer release, then promotes it during EDMC shutdown/restart after plugin resources are released.
Include pre-release versions	Allows prerelease builds in update checks.

The plugin warns in the status/error path if the running EDMC version is below the tested minimum, 6.1.2, or is later marked as known-incompatible.

Overlay Settings

Setting	Effect
Overlay Theme	Chooses tracker text colors for the in-game HUD and popout. The popout window chrome stays EDMC-dark.
Overlay dependency	Shows whether EDMCModernOverlay is installed for the in-game HUD path. Popout Tracker does not require it.
Install overlay fonts	Installs the bundled Oxanium font into EDMCModernOverlay and applies the compatibility setup.

The main EDMC tab also has overlay controls:

Control	Effect
Enable Overlay	Enables the build tracker row and HUD output.
Popout Tracker	Opens the same tracker layout in an EDMC-dark secondary window. Hidden while Enable Overlay is active.
Always On	Keeps the HUD visible while undocked. Hidden in popout mode.
Search	Allows typing a system name instead of using the current system.
Select Build Project	Chooses one active build project or Track All.
Enable Carrier Tracking	Adds the FC column and carrier footer behavior.
Fleet Carrier dropdown	Chooses All linked carriers or one callsign.
Carrier refresh button	Reloads selected carrier cargo, or every linked carrier when All is selected.

The popout remembers its last window position, resizes when tracker content changes, and includes a title-bar copy button. The copy format is designed for Discord code blocks: it omits the Ship column, the "trips in this ship" row, and FC jump-timer rows, while keeping FC deficit text when available.

Where Settings Are Saved

Normal EDMC plugin settings are stored through EDMC's config system. Some plugin-specific caches are stored in the plugin folder, including:

• fc_owner_capacity_cache.json
• site_market_id_repair_visits.json
• capi_cache/

These cache files are local runtime data. They are not release files.
