Evaluator

Evaluator is an optional plugin for Observatory, designed to maximise efficiency and value of a given system.

Installation

• Make sure you already have Observatory downloaded.
• Navigate to https://edjp.colacube.net/observatory (opens in a new tab) and download Evaluator.
• Double-click the downloaded .eop file to install it into Observatory.
• Evaluator is now ready to use.

Usage

An example output from Evaluator.

As with other plugins, Evaluator categorises its output:

• System: The current system.
• Body: The current body.
• Type: Indicates the type of body.
• Distance: The distance in Ls from the main star.
• Gravity: The gravity (where applicable) of the body.
• Terraformable: Whether a body is terraformable (if applicable).
• Current Value: The current value of the body.
• Potential Max Value: The potential maximum value of the body (i.e. if DSSed).
• Map: Whether to map the body or not. If the body is high-value enough, this will be Yes.
• Order: If there are multiple bodies worth mapping, indicates the order in which to map them.
• Done: Indicates whether the body has been mapped fully.
• Total Value: The total value of the system.

Evaluator features a number of settings that can be customised (under the Observatory Evaluator dropdown in the Core tab).

Evaluator's settings.

Menu Values:

• Hide Bodies Below [VALUE]: Sets the minimum CR value required for a body to display in Evaluator.
• Minimum Mapping Value [VALUE]: Sets the minimum CR value required for a body to be considered worth mapping.
• Maximum Distance - ELW/WW/Atmospheric/Other [VALUE]: Sets the maximum distance to consider a body worth mapping for, in the case of earth-like/water/atmospheric/other worlds respectively.
• Maximum Systems to show after Read All [VALUE]: Sets the maximum amount of systems to display after performing a Read All action.

Buttons:

• Atmospherics worth mapping: Enables/disables checks for atmospheric bodies.
• Notifications for bodies worth mapping: Enables/disables [[notifications|notifications]].
• Enable efficient route notifications: Enables/disables notifications for route management.
• Enable debug logging: Enables/disables verbose debug logs.
• Atmospherics with Bios worth mapping: Enables/disables checks for atmospheric planets containing biological signals.
• Calculate Efficient Route: Enables/disables route order.
• Use persistent notification: Enables/disables a persistent Evaluator notification.
