A circuit of nearby systems where somebody has already found valuable biology, with what each species pays.

1 It sends you to biology that is already known.

A STOP a system, its jumps, and how many bodies to land on A BODY what its biology is worth, and each species on it with its price The most valuable body at each stop is listed first.

2 None of it is a first footfall.

The route only knows biology that somebody has already surveyed and reported. The first-footfall bonus goes to whoever landed first, so it is not on offer here. For undiscovered biology, read a system name instead.

3 Stops, radius and a floor, as on Road to Riches.

STOPS how many systems 10 out of the box RADIUS how far out to look 200 ly out of the box WORTH STOPPING the least a species must pay 1,000,000 cr out of the box JUMP RANGE how far one jump goes this ship’s out of the box FARTHEST FROM ARRIVAL how far in-system a body may sit 10,000 ls out of the box Coming back to the start is on out of the box, and can be turned off.

The details

The card called Exobiology on the Navigation tab’s Plan page, and the plot_exobiology_route tool behind it.

What you fill in

Box What it means Out of the box
Stops How many systems the circuit visits 10
Radius (ly) How far from the start it may look 200
Least a species is worth (cr) The least a species must be worth to be listed; a body is a stop when any of its species clears it 1,000,000
Jump range (ly) How far one jump goes This ship’s
Farthest from arrival (ls) How far in-system a body may sit 10,000
Come back to the start Whether the circuit ends where it started On

It starts from where you are. Systems with Thargoid presence are avoided. A body’s worth is the total of all its species, including those under the minimum.

A loop can come back in either direction. Spansh may return the same systems in a different order for the same request.

What the plan shows

Each stop shows its system, the jumps to reach it and how many bodies are worth landing on. Under it, each body shows what its biology is worth, most valuable first, and each species on it with its price. Arriving at a stop marks it reached, and “plot next exobiology stop” puts the next system in the galaxy map.

None of it is a first footfall

The route is built from biology somebody has already surveyed and reported. The first-footfall bonus is paid only where nobody has landed, so it is never part of these figures. For undiscovered systems, read a system name instead.

The tool schema is on Exobiology, and the next-stop command on Route planning.
