# Entropia Universe Developer Resources

This document outlines the primary data sources and community resources required to build and maintain the Entropia-Tools suite. Use these sites to verify item stats, calculate costs, and parse game data.

---

### 1. Item & Game Mechanics (The "Database")
* **[EntropiaWiki](http://www.wiki.pe-wiki.info/)**
    * **Use Case:** The most critical resource for weapon decay rates, ammo consumption, creature HP, and blueprint requirements.
    * **Data Type:** Static item stats, weapon efficiency, and mob attributes.

### 2. Market & Economic Data
* **[Entropia Nexus](https://entropianexus.com/)**
    * **Use Case:** Real-time market tracking. Use this to pull daily/weekly/monthly markups for items.
    * **Data Type:** Auction house history and markup percentages.

### 3. Loot Tracking & Global History
* **[Entropia Life](https://www.entropialife.com/)**
    * **Use Case:** Cross-referencing "Global" and "HoF" (Hall of Fame) drops. Useful for verifying OCR/Log data against community-recorded drops.
    * **Data Type:** Global loot feeds and player rankings.

### 4. Geospatial & Mining Data
* **[Entropia Planeteer](https://entropiaplaneteer.com/)**
    * **Use Case:** Coordinate systems and planet-specific mapping. Essential for the Mining Tracker module.
    * **Data Type:** Interactive maps and resource distribution.
* **[PC-Center](http://entropia.pc-center.dk/)**
    * **Use Case:** Deep-dive analytics into mining finder depths and resource categories.
    * **Data Type:** Mining depth tables and resource tier lists.

### 5. Technical References (Log Parsing)
* **[EL-Tracker](https://el-tracker.com/)**
    * **Use Case:** Reference for how third-party apps interface with the `chat.log` file.
    * **Data Type:** Log parsing logic and community tools.

### 6. Official Source
* **[Entropia Universe Official Site](https://www.entropiauniverse.com/)**
    * **Use Case:** Monitoring Developer Notes and Patch Logs.
    * **Data Type:** Client updates that may affect log file formats or screen layouts (impacting OCR).

## Instructions for Coding Agent:
1.  **Web Scraping:** If building an auto-updater for item stats, prioritize **EntropiaWiki**.
2.  **API Simulation:** Since most of these sites do not have public JSON APIs, you may need to implement lightweight web scrapers or use local CSV exports where available.
3.  **Accuracy:** Always cross-reference weapon "Decay" values from the Wiki to ensure ROI calculations in the Hunter Module are 100% accurate.
