Bug - Fixed Jabanero Pepper obtained from Mall not Hermit ?

It appears that Mafia preferred the Mall (100 meat) over the Hermit (50 meat) for Jabanero Pepper? This was in aftercore, with coinmasters and mall both ticked for item acquisition, all the non-worthless item items and a hermit permit in my possession.

Am I missing something? I know 50 meat is pretty irrelevant.

I made that pepper into an insane burrito, then requested mafia to make a second (no jabaneros in inventory).

I'm not sure how to flush the cache of the valuation on the pepper, but in any case the first acquisition of one shows that mafia thinks the mall is cheaper than a gum.

Oops, I meant
Code: 
set debugBuy = true
There is no debugCreate preference. However, there is a debugcreate CLI command, that you can use instead of create to get this sort of mysterious information:
Code: 
> debugcreate jaba pepper

jabañero pepper.canMake(1) => 272

jabañero pepper.canMake(272) => 272

jabañero pepper.canMake(273) => 272

So apparently it considers a worthless item to cost maximum meat.

I'm stumped on this one. I don't have access to the mall right now, that's probably why I can't investigate this correctly.

I actually fired up Eclipse to poke at this a bit, but I gave up before figuring it out.
Not that I'm intending to deter anyone else from looking at it. ;)

So, the problem is that the Hermit CoinMaster wants WORTHLESS_ITEM (go item 13 !!! ) and getCount(inventory) says you have none.

I got it to use a worthless from inventory with this patch.

I don't think this should be THE fix... more of a demonstration of the problem.

And if you have no worthless items, it won't try to use gum to get one. So, this patch is lacking in that way as well.

Ok, this patch will buy and use gum to get a worthless to get a hermit item.

And, of course use the hermit over the mall :)

This should fix it for all scenarios... or so I think :)

What about if the user doesn't currently have enough starter items to guarantee a worthless item with a single gum, so that it's cheaper to buy from the mall?

There is a method, InventoryManager.currentWorthlessItemCost(), which can be used to calculate the "expected" cost of buying enough gum to get a worthless item, based on how many starter items you have. This post discusses the math for that.

The match is correct, but it doesn't take Travoltan Trousers into account, so it overestimates the cost for those of you (us) who have that item. Considering that is a Softcore item and by the time I have it available, I have all the starter items, it didn't occur to me. :)
