would greatly appreciate a settings file where we can toggle things like abbreviations for type (HIGH METAL CONTENT BODY > HMCB for example). Would make the overlay a lot smaller. Also, a scanned value column would be great!

Let me know if you want me to write the abbreviation table for you!

joncage commented 3 years ago

Sounds like a neat idea to abbreviate.

The value column already is the scanned value.

How about I just take the first letter of each word in the description?

danielschill commented 3 years ago

You could do that. I would just be careful with the type 1, 2, 3 gas giants. Pretty easily solved by first pass converting ' i ', ' ii ', ' iii ' etc to numeric 1,2,3. I would note there are some common abbreviations used on other tools ELW = Earth Like World TWW = Terraformable water world HMC = High Metal Content see https://edtools.cc/expl.php?s=sol&d=200&n=300&ap=on

I think I'd keep the Terraformable bit out of there (there's an icon for that and I'd rather not duplicate information unnecessarily).

I'd thought I could automate it but if you have a more prescriptive list I could just as easily match and replace. Lets see that table then :)
