Star Citizen Tools and Calculators

None of them. The game plays perfectly well without any tool at all, and what these save you is time rather than difficulty. A mining trip planned in advance beats scanning rocks at random, a loadout modelled before you buy beats fitting by guesswork, and a blueprint looked up beforehand beats running the wrong contract twice. Start with whichever one matches how you already spend your evenings.

It depends which half of the job you mean. For finding material, the Mining Material Finder covers 46 locations across Stanton, Pyro and Nyx and decodes RS signatures from a raw HUD reading. For managing work orders and splitting payouts across a crew, Regolith is the long standing community choice. They solve different problems and most serious miners keep both open.

Both read the same game files, so the underlying numbers usually agree. Erkul has been the community standard for years and most guides assume it. The Ship Loadout Builder is built here and goes further on power draw, capacitor behaviour and sustained damage over time. Try both and keep whichever answers your question faster.

CIG publish a roadmap for their own release schedule, but it does not tell you how far along any individual ship is. The Ship Development Pipeline tool here tracks that separately, showing which ships are in progress and whether each has reached whitebox, greybox or LOD0. It is unofficial and derived from what CIG have shown publicly, so treat it as a best reading of the evidence rather than a release date.

Yes. Every tool on this page runs in a browser with no download, and the ones built here need no account or sign up. Some community tools accept donations from people who want to help with their running costs, but none of them charge for access.

The tools built here are rebuilt from the live game files after every patch, so expect a short gap while that happens. Community tools update on their own schedules, so if a number looks wrong, check which version that tool says it is built against before trusting it.

Recycled Material Composite, and it is what salvaging actually pays out. You strip a hull’s outer layer with a salvage beam, it fills your cargo hold as RMC, and you sell it at a Trade and Development Division terminal or a refinery. Construction Materials come from breaking the structure down afterwards and are worth less per unit. The Salvage Material Finder lists what each wreck yields of both, so you can tell a worthwhile hull from a long flight for nothing.

In your install folder, under USER\Client\0\Controls\Mappings, as an XML file per layout. The game writes it out when you close the settings menu, and you load one back by typing pp_rebindkeys followed by the layout name into the console. If you are not sure where the game is installed, open the launcher, pick your game environment, click the gear beside it and choose Show in Explorer. The Keybind Builder exports a file in exactly that format.

CIG do not commit to ship release dates, and the roadmap they publish covers their release schedule rather than the state of any individual ship. What you can read is how far a ship has moved through the art pipeline: whitebox, then greybox, then LOD0. The Ship Development Pipeline tracks that for every ship in progress, which is the closest thing to an honest answer. A ship still in whitebox is not close.
