Elite Dangerous Mining Expansion Finder

A tool that finds stations with the following criterias:

• Want:
  • Faction state: Expansion
  • Economy: Industrial
• Don't want:
  • Economy: Extraction, Refinery, Terraforming
  • Settlements (planetary stations)

and then sorts them by Ly to a specified refference system

Usage

1. Install PyPy or Python 3+ (PyPy is recommended as it is a LOT faster). Install curl (google it for your specific distro/os).
2. Install python dependencies with: pip install -r requirements.txt.
3. • Linux: Run the run.sh script, and provide it the system name (it's case sensitive).
   • Windows: Too lazy to make scripts for windows too, but you can just download the 3 needed files from EDDB API (you should do this every day if you plan to run the script often), then run the python script manually, also providing the system name (it's case sensitive).

Notes

• I'm using the EDDB system dumps, namely systems_populated.json, stations.json and factions.json.
• You may get inconsistent results after the tick happens, because data is mostly collected and uploaded by users using the ED Discovery tool. So if no one goes there with the tool open, the dumps will have the outdated, unupdated factions in them.
