Main Features

Genera and Species Determinations

BioScan will parse all relevant system data to discern exactly which species can be present on any planet with biological signals. This includes all of these criteria:

  • Surface Gravity
  • Minimum and maximum surface temperature
  • Atmosphere
  • Volcanism
  • Body type
  • Main star type
  • Other body types in the system
  • Proximity to nebulae and guardian sectors
  • Galactic region

If it can narrow the options down to one species, that species is displayed, otherwise we show the available genera and a range of values for those species.

Once a planet is mapped, the list will filter down to the confirmed list of genera.

Analysis Progress and Info

Once you've begun your approach to a planet, the species breakdown will focus on that planet. You will see the detailed body type and gravity of the planet and a progress indicator for fully analyzed species.

As you begin to scan species, the scroll window will track your progress. You will get a distance tracker for your samples so you can tell (within a few meters error) if you're able to take another scan. Once the species is analyzed, the value is added to the system summary and marked as complete. Using your composition scanner can confirm species while you work on analyzing another. Progress will be reset if you scan another species before completing the previous one.

Quick Info

A compact display of all bodies with biological signals is shown at the top of the pane. This can be configured to display under different circumstances. You can also choose when to filter the genera/species breakdown, or disable the feature so the entire system is always visible.

Notes

As EDMC only parses new journal entries, this does not preserve historical data. If you restart EDMC, any partial system progress will be lost. You can get some info again, like the mapped body signals, but some of the data used to determine correct species as well as your scan progress will be lost.

I may integrate pulling data from EDSM to help with this in the future.

Certain checks like the nebula check, guardian site, and galactic regions are likely to be imperfect and may give false positive or negatives around the edges of those areas.
