Below-maximum head counts indicate room for gains in productivity. ;)

I'm guessing he can calculate the CPU and PWG per extractor head to tell you how to optimize your current set up.

Thank you

found more issues:

* extractors do not list their product
This is from the API for one of my extractors

On that planet I have 2 types of extractors: Base Metal and Heavy Metal.
The API does not show what this extractor is doing.

* Storage structures (Command center, launchpad, storage) do not show their content
this is from the API for one of my launchpad

That Launchpad currently store 535 Construction Blocks.

* Factories content listing does not match what is shown ingame
This is from the API for one of my factories

For this facility, it list 183 units of Base Metal.
I have 6 factories on that planet: only 2 process Base Metal, and none of them have that quantity in stock. 1 of them as 0 in stock, the other one 2799 units.

* Advanced factories have more than 1 input, and the current API structure does not seem to support that.

This is useful to be able to track the current state of production.
Notably when the planet is setup to feed from the Launchpad instead of extractors for example.

IDs and quantity should be enough.
Anyone can use the DB Dump to extract the name of the product associated to the ID, so things like name and volume do not need to be included.

Sorry to be picky and asking a lot.
But I have been waiting for this API for a long long time.
I had plenty of time to think about what I would need from it.
And my tool would really use that API to it full potential.

I understand that.
Expect that I am looking at a planet that is 'sleeping'.
No extractor or factories are doing any work.

So even if there is computation when opening the planet view, I think that what is stored in the database should reflect the current state until we open it.

Everything else I can compute on my own (my tool does it actually).
I just need current stock for each facility/storage.

Anyway, in the worst case I can do without.
Having the planet setup is already more than I could hope for.

Another problem.

On one of my gas planets, it looks like I have 2 facilities with the same pinID.
I thought that the pinID was a unique identifier for each structure.
Am I wrong ?

This is the data:



What is interesting here is that they have the same latitude and longitude (but you cannot do that ingame), but different contentTypeName.

Unless that is the way you use to specify different input components for the same facility?
Could it be that this is how you show the content of the storage ?

Ok.
But in that case it is not consistent.
Because I have more than 1 facility with stored products waiting for more before starting their work.
Yet I found a case of duplicated id only once across all my planets.

It's like it does it once, and then forget to check about the rest of the facility for their stores.

I see that the API itself as a version

Why don't you introduce a versioning at the result level?
Each result could have its own version, then you would save yourself some troubles.

This information is in the PlanetaryColonies endpoint (upgradeLevel) where
Level 0 means basic, after setting up the commandcenter
and Level 5 with a full upgrade (skill level 5).


@CCP FoxFour could you please revisit that values.

Idea: add the length of a link in the PlanetaryLinks endpoint
Description: It would be the easiest way to calculate the cpu/PG need of a link, so you don't need to calculate it from the longitute/latitute values.

Base per link: CPU=15tf and PG=10MW
CPU: 1tf per 5km
PG: 1MW per 7km

all values on linkLevel 0 means no upgrade on link

I confirm this.
But I would have expected it at the command center level instead of the planet level.
Does not change much, just not too logic in my opinion.
