Thatā€™s a good idea! Something like a list of all the settlements across the universe?
Something like this?

Yep thatā€™s it :cookie:

Another cool feature if possible to get from one of the devs the World Maps of all the planets

Great reasource, and shows the Luminous Green #194 I set my planets gleam to recently, as it was a new unlock I think.

Thanks, glad itā€™s useful! And yes, Luminous Green #194 should be showing correctly now.
I just finished updating all the unlocked Sovereign colours, so every item on the site should display the right availability indicators.

Going forward if a new Sovereign spawns with a colour that isnā€™t in the list yet, it gets picked up and added to the unlocked-Sovereign colour registry automatically. :+1:

For that Iā€™d need API access from the devs, and Iā€™m not sure, maybe @jon-eric could point me in the right direction? With a key I could add a lot more, planet maps and shopping included.

You dont need anything for shopping, I asked jon-eric about 30 times on getting the maps dumped somewhere so they could get picked up to no avail. I also found a way to get the maps, but it stopped working. He did provide the maps once, but a one-time drop does zero good as they wonā€™t be updated unless they are dropped regularly.

I also asked for an API to expose all the world control colors via an API when I made my little site as that is just a little json that can be picked up also to no avail.

I also asked for about 20 others things that would be super helpful to no avail.

When you care more about the game and the community more than that devs it sucks :slight_smile:

Youā€™re right, I get itā€¦ Maybe there are restrictions on what the devs are even allowed to doā€¦ :expressionless_face:

Reading the docs, it seems like accessing the shopping data needs the Boundless-API-Key. Is there another way to do it?

Would it still be feasible to ask for a Boundless-API-Key? Did @jon-eric say anything about that?

Letā€™s see what we can do to help the community if the devs canā€™t! :smiley:

I really love the positivity and that ā€œletā€™s help the community ourselvesā€ energy, itā€™s honestly whatā€™s kept this player base special despite everything.

That said, Iā€™m completely burnt out chasing Monumental. Iā€™ve tried for a long time to get any kind of response, even basic communication, and itā€™s been nothing but silence. At this point, Iā€™m not putting any more effort into the game until they actually communicate, push out real updates, or at least show they care about the game and the players still here.

The game is in a rough spot low player numbers and a dying economy thatā€™s making things miserable for everyone whoā€™s stuck around. Itā€™s frustrating to watch.

Iā€™m still fully supportive of the community stepping up and finding ways to help each other without waiting on them. Just donā€™t count on me investing more time or energy until Monumental does the same.

Hi, the Settlements dont show it at all.
e.g. my Settlement on Circarpous is not shown in the list.
CYD Old Spaceship Restauration with 14.263.684
and on Gellis my minibase CYD Waldblick with 2.837.705 is also not shown in the list.

thanks

Helmut

Are your beacons hidden from shop stand searches?

Hello, no, Shopstands are visible

Hey!

The list only shows each worldā€™s top 5 settlements by prestige, thatā€™s what I can get without a dev API key. On a busy world like Circarpous, the 5th is already around 24M, so anything under that doesnā€™t show.

The full beacon list needs a blessed key. I asked Jon-Eric for one. If I get it Iā€™ll show every beacon per planet, and probably add maps and shopping.

If the key comes through, what else would you want on the site?

This is awesome. I have been looking for certain colors of tangle to use in the Oortmas decorations. This really helps.

Thanks for doing this. I have loved seeing all the amazing tools people have contributed to the game over the years. So much great data in this one. I appreciate the effort considering the current state of things. Iā€™m also happy to see others engaging in conversations and brainstorming ideas to help make things better. Positivity despite what might otherwise be a downturn. Cheers to all! :smiley:

Hey, I checked the site and everything looks fine, including during the time you said it was down. I could not find anything that went wrong on our side.

I donā€™t pull from Boundlexx or any other external API, only the official Boundless API and our own capture, so a Boundlexx outage wouldnā€™t affect it either.

I did notice Cloudflare reported elevated errors in one of their US data centres between 18:45 and 23:01 UTC. The site is hosted on Cloudflare, so itā€™s possible thatā€™s what you ran into.

If it happens again let me know and Iā€™ll look into it. :smiley: :+1:

Boundless Information and Boundlexx were not pulling info at the same time so it is something they have in common in how they pull information. Not your stuff somewhere on the other end.

Boundlexx doesnā€™t pull any live info anymore unless something changed.
