EDRavenColonialAgent

An EDMarketConnector (EDMC) plugin for Elite Dangerous colonization. It integrates with the Raven Colonial community service and draws an in-game overlay showing the commodities (and quantities) still needed for your active construction project(s) — including which of them are for sale at the station you're currently docked at.

It merges two existing projects:

• the Raven Colonial API integration from the EDMC-Ravencolonial plugin (detect construction depots, create projects, auto-report contributions, detect completion), and
• the "Colonise" commodities-needed overlay from SrvSurvey (PlotBuildCommodities), re-implemented for EDMC's overlay.

Features

• Live "still needed" overlay — every commodity still required for your construction project(s), with how many you're carrying and a ✓ once you have enough.
• Market-aware dimming — when docked, commodities the station's market doesn't sell are greyed out, so you can see at a glance what's worth buying here.
• On-site and off-site views — an alphabetical list at the construction site, or your active projects' combined needs grouped by category when you're elsewhere, with a totals/trips footer.
• Raven Colonial integration — per-commander API key, project detection/creation, automatic contribution reporting, and completion detection.
• Works without an overlay — falls back to a panel inside the EDMC window if no overlay plugin is installed.

Installation

1. Download EDRavenColonialAgent-vX.Y.Z.zip from the latest release.
2. Extract it into EDMC's plugins folder so you get …/plugins/EDRavenColonialAgent/load.py:
   • Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\EDMarketConnector\plugins
   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/EDMarketConnector/plugins
   • Linux: ~/.local/share/EDMarketConnector/plugins
3. Restart EDMC.

For the in-game overlay, also install EDMCModernOverlay (recommended) or the original EDMCOverlay. It's optional — without it the needs show in the EDMC window instead.

Full usage, the API-key setup, and all settings are documented in the plugin's own README.
