Star Citizen Mining Loadout Sheet — Portable Pack
=================================================

Contents (keep ALL of these in the same folder):
  Star_Citizen_Mining_Lasers_ETC.xlsx   Interactive loadout workbook
  Update_Mining_Stats.bat               Double-click to refresh LIVE stats
  Update_Mining_Stats.vbs               Optional silent-ish launcher (calls the .bat)
  update_mining_stats.py                Python updater (paths are relative to this folder)
  README.txt                            This file

How to share
------------
1. Zip this entire folder (or the files listed above).
2. Send the zip. Recipients unzip ANYWHERE (Desktop, USB, etc.).
3. Open the .xlsx to use loadouts.
4. To refresh stats after a Star Citizen patch: double-click Update_Mining_Stats.bat

Requirements to UPDATE (not needed just to open/use the sheet)
--------------------------------------------------------------
- Windows
- Internet (api.star-citizen.wiki)
- Python 3 with the "py" launcher: https://www.python.org/downloads/
  During install, enable "Add python.exe to PATH".
- The .bat auto-installs the openpyxl package if missing.

No Excel macros are required. Do not rely on Workbook_Open auto-update when sharing
with friends (macro trust / .xlsm friction). Use the .bat instead.

Why the old copy broke after moving
-----------------------------------
The .xlsx and .bat were moved without update_mining_stats.py. The .bat looks for the
.py next to itself (%~dp0). Absolute Downloads paths are no longer used.

Data source
-----------
https://api.star-citizen.wiki  (public read API, no key)

Dungeon Dogs / web app (later)
------------------------------
A page on dungeondogs.org can reuse the same API later. For now this portable Excel
pack is the zip-and-share path.
