Meta request: include player count in monthly Econ reports

Just that. Wouldn’t have to be a chart like the others, though that would be cool. Currently we have some workarounds to determine player counts, but I’d like to see it in with the Econ report. Maybe also a breakdown of players by faction?

I kinda have that already. I’m using FIO to collect all planet plots and determine the players by that:
fio-extension/csv/player/count at main · ebitkov/fio-extension · GitHub

Unfortunately it broke without me noticing, so the latest data is corrupted. Have to look into it soon..

What about active companies instead of users? Something like that:

@Pxlfox I would be interested to see the numbers you get out of FIO

Perfect! That would be wonderful

As far as I can tell, FIO seems to have issues and isn’t returning the player sites anymore. As soon as I have confirmation (and hopefully a fix) by Saganaki, I’ll return with some data.

According to piboy

companies =/ active companies, so it depends on what threshold you define as active (7d, 30d, etc).

@molp The bug in FIO has been resolved and the data has been updated:
fio-extension/csv/player/count at main · ebitkov/fio-extension

It calculates those numbers by looking at the planet player sites.
