Release notes from NMSInventoryExplorer

Item Explorer added

2018-11-11T17:48:22Z

There is now a simple Item Explorer tab which lets you check the value of an item, and what recipes are associated with it.

Look! A file open dialog!

Plus some minor fixes, like disabling the malfunctioning filtering of recipe targets to "known items" which crept into the master branch somehow.

Also some internal refactoring to separate the burgeoning UI code into more manageable pieces.

Update for the Abyss, and crash fix

2018-11-04T19:50:18Z

Updated for NMS version 1.7. Or 1.74. Or whatever - they don't make it easy to determine the program version number. But their website says v1.7.

Fixed crash caused by "unknown known" items. See issue #11.

Now with more ... stuff

2018-11-03T22:13:58Z

Inventory Explorer's internal lists of items and recipes now come entirely from game assets, rather than hand-coded lists, so they are probably complete. (Or nearly so ... I may be missing items from some asset files yet.)
The list of output items available in the recipe finder reflects only items known to the player.

There are some significant problems left:

The heuristic for picking recipes is not very sophisticated at the moment.
The program doesn't know what recipes are known to the user, so it may suggest recipe lists that you can't execute.
Some items can't be properly distinguished in the UI.

Actually Useful and Works

2018-10-27T04:21:51Z

This release fixes breakage caused by new vehicle slots that were recently added to the NMS save files.
Also added missing recipes for quite a few basic resources.

For details on running it, see the README on the project main page.

Actually Useful

2018-10-26T23:33:04Z

With this release, functionality to search for recipe chains works. See the Recipe Finder tab.
Select the inventories you wish to draw materials from, select the output item and quantity
that you want, and press Search.

Download NMSInventoryExplorer.zip, unzip it, and run the executable. If you run it from a command window it may give you some useful debugging information that you can pass on to help improve it.

This program should be entirely safe to use. It does not attempt to modify your game save files in any way, nor is that an intention of this project.

Minimally useful.

This release allows you to view a summary of selected inventories' contents in a data grid, taken from your latest No Man's Sky save file. Unzip it and run the executable. If you run it from a command window it may give you some useful debugging information that you can pass on to help improve it.
