Who made this

CallsignOshida

Professional autistic, bored to dust, always searching for something interesting to waste my time on.

Lately, that's been digging through Star Citizen's game files.

Why I made this

Over the last few months, I kept seeing the same questions come up:

Hey, where can I find X?

Where can I loot Y?

And it made me sad that there was no real resource for where to find stuff.

So I tried making a little script. It worked, but only I could read it, and even for me it was ugly. Plus, I wanted to share it with friends and org members.

So I turned it into a website: something the average player can open, search for what they want, then fly to where it spawns.

Made with AI

This site was made with the help of AI, specifically Anthropic's Claude, mainly because I like programming, but that doesn't mean I know how to make websites (or like making them), especially pretty ones.

I datamine, dig through the files and write what I can code; Claude helps with the website and whatever's too complex for me alone.

Shop data

The game files don't say what shops sell or for how much: that's kept on the game's servers. So shop locations and prices come from UEX, a community site where players report what each shop terminal sells and at what price.

How to read this

Spawn spot: a fixed point in a location where loot appears. Each spot only takes one kind of item: a Ship component spot · S2 · Grade A only ever gives size 2, grade A components.
How it spawns: Lying loose means the item itself appears on the spot. On a rack means it comes on a weapon rack or dispenser that appears on the spot. Inside a crate means it's one of the random items rolled inside a crate.
Crates: the standard loot crate's colour tells what it holds, and it comes in three shapes (Small, Tall, Wide). Other containers are named by their model (weapon case, metal loot crate, medical cabinet…).
Weapons, ammo, attachments Armor Unique armor Misc and rare items Medical SmallTallWide
Chance: for loose items and racks, the chance that a spot picks this item each time it fills. For crates, the chance that one crate holds at least one when you open it, worked out by filling that kind of crate thousands of times the way the game does; below it, the chance that a single item rolled in the crate is this one. Items too big for a crate never come out of it, so it isn't listed. All chances are estimates.
Best places to loot it: each place's chance to give at least one if you check every spawn spot there once, counting all its spots together: 20 crates at 2% each give 1 − 0.98²⁰ ≈ 33%. Below it, how many you'd find on average (20 × 2% = 0.4), which tells apart two big places that are both near 100%. A crate spot counts the chance that it spawns a crate that can hold the item, so spots that often spawn another kind of crate count less than the crate's own chance.
Respawn: how long until the spot spawns loot again after you take the item, loot the rack or open the crate. A crate or rack only respawns once the old one has vanished, and it lingers longer while someone stays nearby: hanging around a looted crate delays the next one. The new loot is a fresh roll, so it may not be the same item.
Not confirmed: a few areas have no spawn-spot data in the game files, so everything their loot setup allows is listed and marked as not confirmed.
Caves, wrecks and mission sites appear at random spots, so they are grouped by kind instead of by name.
Show directions (VerseGuide): places on a planet or moon link to their page on VerseGuide, where you can get directions to them. Handy for places you can't quantum to.
Check Cornerstone UIF for shops: the game files don't say what shops sell or for how much, so item pages link to Cornerstone's Universal Item Finder, a community site that lists the shops selling each item. If it doesn't know the item, it opens its home page.
Can be crafted: see SCMDB: the item has a crafting blueprint in the game files; the button opens that blueprint on SCMDB's fabricator page, a community site that shows what crafting it takes. A few blueprints craft a different item than their name says; those items carry a warning.
Spot counts count each kind of room once: a place with two identical garages shows one garage's spots.
On NPCs: what NPCs wear and carry (armor, weapons, magazines, med pens…) can be looted from their bodies, and some roll extra loot too. Their chance is how often one of them has it, counting each of their outfits as equally likely. Where they spawn lists the places they live in, by kind of place (linked when the place has loot spots too), and the missions that send them.
On NPC ships: ship parts you can pull off the ships NPCs fly, with a tractor beam (the multitool's or a ship's). Where they spawn lists the missions and places that send those ships. Only what the game lets a tractor beam take is listed: the core components (power plant, cooler, shield, quantum drive, radar) up to size 2, and weapons, missiles, racks and turrets of any size. Not from a hardpoint the ship locks (Vanduul guns, for example), and not the core components of older ship models, which have no way to reach them. The ships are the ones the spawn's tags can pick, all taken as equally likely.
Basket: add items with the button on their page, or send a whole outfit from Style Citizen. The Basket tab shows where each one spawns and the places that have the most of them.
LIVE and PTU: the switch at the top picks which game version the whole page shows. What changed compares each version with its previous build, and PTU with LIVE: items that can spawn in new places, places they lost, and big chance changes.
Technical: each location module references a harvestable preset; its spawn points (SlotSpawnPoint / HarvestableTagPoint) pick the preset config whose tags are all on the point, most specific first (inferred). The chance per item rolled multiplies table weights (times ChanceToExist), archetype weights and the rarity / faction / manufacturer layers, then splits evenly between matching items. The chance per crate fills the crate 3,000 times as the game does (read in StarCitizen.exe 4.10.2): items that don't fit its inventory (capacity, inside size) are taken out of the table, the fill target is the capacity times a factor drawn in fullnessFactorRange, priority picks go first, then entries by weight until the contents reach the target, an item doesn't fit what's left, or totalResultsLimit items are in; stack sizes, spawn-with ammo, ChoiceLimit, DupeLimit and ChanceToExist count. Each step's chance of giving each item is added up as well, so rare items are as precise as common ones. Attachments pre-mounted on looted weapons are not counted. Respawn is the slot's harvestable setup (or the preset it points to): respawnInSlotTime times the slot and config respawn multipliers, counted once the spot is free. A loose item frees it when taken; a crate, container or rack only when it despawns, despawnTimeSeconds after it was last used, plus additionalWaitForNearbyPlayersSeconds while a player is in range (as the game's despawn timer does).
