Mod Request: Resource Search / Management Tool

It's become very time consuming when searching for a specific resource that I want to build an outpost at.

 

For example, I want to mine loads of titanium, but to find this resource I'm hopping system to system, planet to planet searching.

 

What I'd love to have is:

  • an in-game menu I can pull up with a shortcut key combo
  • the menu is accessible while in the Starmap only
  • I can type the resource I'm searching for
  • the results show (via a list of clickable planets / moons) only the planets (and the system) that I've scanned
  • if I haven't scanned the resource, no results show up

 

This would make it so I still have to explore, but if I've scanned the resource already I can jump right to it. I wouldn't want this to disable achievements. I want the exploring to remain a necessity, so it'd be like a "log" I am keeping in my ship as I explore.

 

Next, I'd love to merge this into a better way to track resources or projects. For example:

  • have a filter in the tool to "only show tracked resources or projects"
  • be able to quickly track (or untrack!) a resource from this search tool

 

Finally, some add'l functionality could be:

  • Rather than type, I can view a list of scanned resources to filter by
  • I can do a sort, such as distance from my current location
  • Sort by percentage explored
  • Number of outposts on planet
  • Sort by traits discovered (ehh maybe)

 

Yeah, I'd pay for a mod like this, as it'd only expand on my love for this game.
