Please feel free to provide your feedback on the circular trade routes functionality below!

[zorbulator]

It has worked pretty well for me so far but I think it would work better if users could search for circular routes instead of searching for a normal route and then finding a circular route including that route. Once #26 is done searching for circular routes would be especially useful since they could potentially have some of the highest profits over time.

[EtienneLamoureux]

@zorbulator That's a good point. The issue I have though is that I need a starting point: there are too much possibilities to go blind at it. Do you have an idea on how you would like it?

The idea behind the current approach is that usually there is one leg on your trade route that is the MVP, and the rest is just to go back not empty.

Locations with equal OVI mining indexes should be shuffled in the list to spread lazy player activity that will blindly go to first listed location :)

[EtienneLamoureux]

@alystair Not a bad idea. I'll keep that in mind when working on the next release!

[Kerbidiah]

there are too much possibilities to go blind at it. Do you have an idea on how you would like it?

maybe for circular trade routes, instead of looking 1 trade into the future, letting the user pick which one then going from there, you could look 2 trades into the future pick the best one. Then from the 1st of those 2 trades you look another 2 trades into the future and so on.

I apologize if my explanation is poor

[EtienneLamoureux]

@Kerbidiah OK, I think I understand. For the moment, one thing you can do is switch the filters in the form between clicking the circular trade routes button: adjusting the refresh rate, for example, will get you different circular trades.

hello, @EtienneLamoureux hope you are doing Well I recently found your page and read some of the previous comments I for one thing your page is amazing you are a very talented person and I am glad for ppl like you. also if I may inquire one thing it would definitely be on the topic for circular Routes I don't know how he did it but here is a link to a page that you should see

https://sc-trading.kamille.ovh/trading/

go here and check it out maybe you can use this as a reference this was really amazing and if you can implement this onto your page I'm pretty sure your page would be the best one yet the owner of that page stopped updating it during 3.4. he had a good idea but you seem like the type of person with the motivation to make it work

[ORIONxHUNTER]

btw to that post if you decide to check out the page put yes in cycle witch means circular then put the ship it will auto set the SCU for you put the amount of money you wanna start with and choose the run fill in these 4 categories only and watch the magic Good luck hopefully you can use this.

@ORIONxHUNTER Hello and thanks for the kind words! Kamville was definitely an inspiration when I made the site and circular trade routes did not escape my notice!

If you look at the highlighted button on the right, you'll see that it's there :) You can configure how long the maximum circuit is and blacklist certain commodities or locations using the filters on the left. Hope that helps!

N.B.: The way the buy and sell points are setup right now means that there are very few good circular routes: most of the time it's "buy at a moon, sell at a city" with an empty cargo on the way back. But feel free to explore the routes: you can even change the filters between the moment you generate the main routes and the moment you check for the best circular one.

[ORIONxHUNTER]

Ahhh I see you are definitely correct my bad I cannot believe I missed that but honestly no thanks is required I only stated facts your page is indeed the best out there right now and with the passion can clearly tell you have for this I have no doubt you will stay the best long time coming

During the Freeflight Event I was doing trade runs with basically every ship, inculding the 890 Jump (not the smartest joice).
I was using the trade routes feature and selected my ship and went with a route that had me land at port olisar, just to figure out that the 890 cannot land at po because it´s too big. Since I already have to select my ship I would also excpect it to know where I can land.

Buy 3,208 [Medical Supplies](https://sc-trade.tools/commodities/Medical%20Supplies) for ¤50,526 UEC

As per image, it's higher than that for some reason. This is the correct station however, Rayari McGrath Research Outpost. It also sells for almost 1k less at the trade and development than you specify:

Meaning a near 4k aUEC decrease in profit. With 7.4k aUEC profit, rather than 11k.

Hi and thanks for the report, What's happening is that the website never updates, unless they patch the game: it only reads datamined static data. See https://sc-trade.tools/home#faq for more info.

Rayari Cantwell Research Outpost has a bunch of stuff listed as trade items that it doesn't have

[EtienneLamoureux]

Hi @Gun2275 and thanks for the report!

Just to be sure, we're talking about Rayari Cantwell Research Outpost and not the similarly named Rayari McGrath Research Outpost also located on Clio?

[Gun2275]

I am 99% sure but if it makes life easier when I get on again I'll triple check

[HoshimiyaTowa]

Probably add a type of location to be avioded from: none Armistice Zone

[EtienneLamoureux]

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll reinstate it in #35 No promises though, as it's been elusive in the datamine so far! Keep on trading. Le sam. 16 sept. 2023, 02 h 13, HoshimiyaTowa ***@***.***> a écrit :

Jump town is out of stock :(

[BFischTech]

Suggests taking a circular route with empty cargo hold to multiple suggestions (not an actual viable route).
