Seems I misjudged how much use the Colour Finder was still getting.
I can admit when I’m wrong, so I’ve added it back in.
I will add another warning though, the information that Colour Finder uses is crowd sourced. That means if the owner of the world changes the colours, the data will be wrong. If a world’s colours have never been scanned then that data will be missing. Other than that, have at it.
@dreamevil Just add 'ye old disclaimer" that it’s not YOUR fault on the page. People shouldn’t be upset with you if the colors are old or planet missing. You do the best you can with what you got.
Anyone wants to toss me a token with the orbiting world on it or directions to your portal, I’m happy to run through the scanner. I’m not so great at running around looking for planets to scan, but I’m happy to take requests
As of recent I have seen a bunch of people building color storages as well and this is a very helpful tool for them. Its true occasionally you go to a planet that the color is not what it says but i believe a few more Oortians have added the scanner lately, so maybe that will help. Thanks for adding it back I would say the color finder and resource finder are the two main things I use myself. It has made the game so much more enjoyable. Stay Boundless!
I’m honestly quite surprised I didn’t have a disclaimer there to begin with. There’s one there now though, so hopefully that helps people realise it might be giving them wrong info sometimes and that it’s unavoidable at this stage.
I’m glad you like. Despite the fact I have never once mixed paint or grown/mutated goo, it was probably my favourite part of the site to create
If anything, seeing how it all works under the hood scared me even further away from it.
Just glad I could make paints and goo that little bit more accessible to everyone.
Thank u so much =p I think we all knew and accepted that the planets color updating, not being updated on your website, was never the fault of your side of your website.
If Boundless had auto scan tool that was cross platform available when a person finalized colors in the world control beacon… You would never have to do any disclaimer at all.
Maybee planet color scanning should automatically happen when you hit “finalize colors”. Im not sure where that would be stored. ( seems to be something that was missed when sovereigns were released)
If it’s not clear, this data isn’t part of the API, nor released by Wonderstruck at all.
There’s a hack uhh mod where you perform a ‘man in the middle attack’ on your wonderstruck account, and a tool that will then read the data as the world server sends it to your client, which happens when you visit the world.
Having third party tools depends on players who are willing to do this, for several things. AFAIK the only officially provided API is used to scan shop stands, and like 3 - 4 players have keys.
The rest of the data circulating comes from querying various servers directly (where allowed) or using the method described above.
is there a way sov world owners can get the info to you re colour changes? I have a T1 world that will be regularly changing colours, and I’m happy to share updated info, but will need to be walked through the how to do so.
yes, at Giggleswick on Storis II. You can get to us via GTG (planetary portal comes straight to us, and the portal to Starbug 1 is in that hub) we also have a portal to Gigg from TNT mega hub (second floor) and the Ultima portal to Storis comes to us as well.
