The application can be run as a standard window or as a semi-transparent overlay over the game. Access is via a hotkey and EDEngineer has the following headline features:
- A transparent overlay that runs continuously and updates in real time what your ship holds (based on logs outputted by the game)
- Shopping List, Thresholds, alerts for when a favourite blueprint is ready, and many other quality of life items
- Show/Hide the overlay based on a global shortcut (default is Control + F10)
- A tray icon where you can configure the shortcut and exit the overlay
- All blueprints available in a handy sortable grid which you can filter too
- Ignore/Favorite flags - Favorited blueprints that become available to craft trigger a Windows toast
- Persistent state : EDEngineer will remember which filters you applied and what blueprints are favorited/ignored
- Movable window mode and resizable panels (use the RESET button to reset the window location while in "unlocked" mode)
- Handles multiple commanders if you own multiple accounts
- Configure thresholds
