I have just learned to my great misfortune that the chart is wrong for Septerfon ā Nasharil is actually 6 Blinksecs away, not 5.
Yeah, links between Tier 3 planets and any other is 2 blinksects. The top right does say 1-2 for green lines, but perhaps the link greens to/from T3ās should should be another colour.
maybe just differentiate between 1 and 2 maybe? just to help for longer distances
Thank you for bringing this to my attention! Iāll look into and update the info when Iām on next =)
The reasoning behind the green lines it that it will only cost 1 shard in an hour.
Ok rechecked all the values last night and made this new chart with simplified coloring. I also added a legend of sortsā¦ everything appears to be in orderā¦ for now =P
OP Updated
Edit:
Corrected some values in the legend and added a title for clarification O.oā¦ Special thanks to @Prome3us ^^
I could certainly make an alternate version of my āfree-formā map but Iāll leave it up to @Cakengrad as to whether or not he wants to modify his map
As @virresss mentioned, the original intent of the coloring was to, ādepict as simply as possibleā, the cheapest connectionsā¦ In fact @Cakengrad 's map lists the price / hr in the legend as well as the blinksec range. However, it is a bit hard to read when not viewing a full Rezā¦ Maybe the price per hour and distance should be swapped / a bit more contrast added?
Anyway Iām not exactly sure how much value the distinction would addā¦ And in fact, I fear it would add needless complexity =/ā¦ When planing a new portal that is more expensive than one shard per hourā¦ It would be better to use one of the other charts instead of the maps since they are oversimplifications by nature
Just wanted to share how I was able to generate the 3D map that Jivita mentioned:
https://plot.ly/~sirnoyd/1/
I made an application that moves planets around based on the blinksec distances that Jivita (and others?) collected. It moves the planets in small increments until the distances are as close to in-game as possible. I made the application configurable so more planets can be added to it later.
You can find the code here, itās very well commented:
You can download and run the compiled application here:

This is what it looks like:
i like the 29% accuracy
Sweet! thanks for sharing! Iāll definitely check it out, and, if you donāt mind, add it to the OP ^^
You crazy madā¦bar steward
sure go nuts.
itās actually the magnitude of the difference vector. It goes down over time and approaches 0.005, at which point a solution is found and checked against other found solutions to determine if itās unique. In this screenshot itās working on a 3rd attempt at a solution and has found 1 unique solution so far.
Oh yea, i totaly figured it had nothing to do with actual accuracy. I couldnāt help but poke at it though for fun hehe.
Thanks @virresss for adding the tagsā¦ i often overlook those =)
So! Big thanks to @anon42939288 for pointing out that 3 blinksec portals now seem to only costs 50 to open & 1/hr now for some reasonā¦ or at least Solum > Munteen; Solum > Vulpto; Munteen > Berlyn so far (all 3 blinksecs)
Guess i know what iāll be doing in the morning lol
Yeah i had problem with finding it so hope it helps
Updated universe Layout
Not sure when this changed, as it wasnāt mentioned in any patch note, but this is what the universe looks like now.
Change from previous to current:
3D point data and rotatable view
Solution 1: Column 1 vs Column 0 | scatter3d made by Sirnoyd | plotly
Solution 2: Column 2 vs Column 1 | scatter3d made by Sirnoyd | plotly
Note: Solution 2 is slightly more āaccurateā
Updated portal costs
Note: I didnāt include 8 and 9 blinksecs because theyāre too expensive and probably the same as before.
If Iām reading this new chart correctly, it would seem that Vulpto is now the ideal planet for a interplanetary portal hub. The average blinksec distance is 2-3, and the only outlier is Therka.
to bad the atmosphere will burn the flesh from your bones after future updates.
Is the recipe for a hazmat suit in game yet? For visiting vulpto.
