May the 4th be with you!

It just happened that the Star Wars franchise chose the same day that we publish our next release update! Not that we are shamelessly jumping on the bandwagon (Millennium Falcon for this purpose) of course!

The BID3 team has fixed its hyperdrive motivator and ready to jump to hyperspace for the next update, and we’d like to share with you some of the astral developments taking shape. Several usability enhancements that will boost BID3 to be even more user friendly:

— New splash screen and ribbon to ease navigation
Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating a Splash screen and Ribbon field is approximately 1 to 3,720

— BID3Python will get improved documentation and libraries
"Never tell me the odds"

— Help function that links any feature directly to its Portal page
"Help me, BID3 Portal, you’re my only hope"

— Advanced mapping capabilities (for earth, galaxies to follow, location of Ahch-To remains hidden)

— Duplicate an open tab with a click
"Do or do not. There is no try"

We also have quite a few features planned, such as:

— Interacting co-products: optimise co-product plants (e.g. electrolysers) to generate multiple co-products of any kind.
"Electrolysis leads to hydrogen, hydrogen leads to heat and heat leads to CO2, and CO2 leads to the dark side"

— Control for storage dispatch: tie (fighter) storage dispatch to curtailed or tight periods

— Additional constraint on price threshold demand: accounts for shifted demand to existing demand of that hour
"Demand transfer from cell block 1138?"

Not to forget improvement of Auto Build eligibility structure, a better database transfer tool and more… so stay tuned and use the BID3, Luke.
