Due to new os-specific folder usage from v0.6.1.0 onwards you have to copy or reinitialise your data if you come from older versions! Alternatively you can run edxd --portable, and everything stays as you know it.
I know, there are many tools like this, some with much more features and much more sophisticated. But they all have one thing in common: They are built for Windows (except for EDMC).
As I'm on kubuntu since early 2025, and most of the tools work in a decent way, at best, when run in a wine environment, I decided to create my own, plattform independent tool. So here it is: Elite Dangerous eXploration Dashboard
EDXD provides insight into the details of the currently scanned system.
Currently that is:
- Mineraldeposits per body
- Bio-/Geo-signs per body
- FSS, mapping, geo, bio progress of current system
- Sortable by deposit density and other things
- Filter to display only minerals you're currently looking for
- Detail panels for selected (in the table) and targeted (in-game) body
- Show estimated scanned/mapped value
- Load all available journal files to create system cache
- Pin your current location on a planet's surface and track the distance to that point
- min. distance for genus diversity in detail panel. Also shows distance to previously scanned specimen of that genus.
- from v0.5.0.0: register first discovered/mapped/footfall by others or self (in-game, not EDSM)
This tool is undergoing heavy development, so expect more features to come.
Planned features are (not neccessarily in that particular order)
- show first discovered (EDSM)
- show potential types of biosigns, if any; update on DSS and on foot sampling
- show potential types of geosigns, if any; update on DSS
- maybe more...
As EDXD is very new, there will be lots of refactoring on the way. So don't expect new features with every new release ;-)
If you like my work and want to support me via PayPal.me (see link below) it's much appreciated. EDXD and all it's features will always be for free.
