Materials Helper Setup Guide

Installation Steps

  1. Download the Helper:
    Visit the Odyssey Materials Helper Releases Page and download the latest .msi file.

  2. Install the Application:
    Run the downloaded .msi file to install the application.

  3. Configure the Helper:

    • Launch the app, which will read your Elite Dangerous journal files
    • Select the engineers you want to unlock and the upgrades you want to craft
    • The app will display all the materials required for your goals, how many you currently have, and where to find them

  4. Use the Overlay Feature:

    • The app offers an overlay that provides material information while you’re at data terminals, helping you decide what’s worth collecting

  5. Enhance Your Gameplay:

    • Export your wishlist from EDSY into the app for better tracking
    • Share your loadouts and wishlists with other commanders to coordinate efforts

CMDR Pattern State’s Note: This makes the mat hunt and trading process a lot less complex and much easier to understand, particularly if you’re new to the whole thing, as I was very recently.

Testing Your Setup

Launch Elite Dangerous and verify that the Materials Helper is reading your journal files and tracking materials correctly.
