Bug - Fixed Modifier Maximizer, Buddy Bjorn targets, and Bees Hate You

Modifier Maximizer suggests putting familiars that have Bs in the buddy bjorn, but KoL does not allow this ("There is no way you are willing to put Bs that close to your back!"). I can only imagine if TPTB had the presence of mind to add this, then a parallel mechanic exists with the Crown of Thrones.

Well, the Buddy Bjorn has Bs in its name, and so makes sense to be blocked out. While it would make sense for the CoT to have similar code, it doesn't have any Bs in its name, and so this assumption should be tested, rather than simply taken for granted.

It was blatantly obvious to everyone playing BHY at the time (that owned a crown) that you couldn't put an El Vibrato Megadrone in the crown, because the MP loss was a big deal.

Theraze: equipment isn't blocked out; you just get stung for each B in its name. The inherent problem is that when I type "maximize mp regen", Maximizer suggests putting a rock lobster in the bjorn.

Ah... from your initial message, it sounded like KoL itself blocked you from using it - the message about not allowing the Bs near your back. For BHY runs, it should definitely follow the beeosity rules. If you choose to allow 3 beeosity, it should get to pick between CoT, BB, or any other source for those Bs. Unless KoL is actually blocking you from using it ever, in which case marking them as allowed would be a bug.

So... what's the bug? Options:
1) KoL blocks you from using Buddy Bjorn, even if you're willing to be stung, but mafia suggests it in the maximizer and believes it's available as an equipment item - the BB should be marked as restricted (or something similar) in Beecore so that it isn't suggested or used.
2) KoL blocks you from using familiars with Bs in the Buddy Bjorn, allows you to use the Buddy Bjorn itself, and mafia suggests slotting B familiars into the BB - the BB is okay, but the B familiars which are already restricted need to also be restricted for the BB and probably for the CoT.
3) KoL does not block you from using familiars with Bs in the Buddy Bjorn, but mafia doesn't count the Bs for the familiar towards Beeosity, despite them causing damage - the Bs for slotted familiars need to be counted as well.
4) KoL does not block you from using familiars with Bs in the Buddy Bjorn, mafia agrees with KoL for Beeosity, and your maximizer string didn't set your desired Beeosity - not a bug.

Looks fixed, as now maximize mp regen suggests mini-hipster in the bjorn (if I remove beeosity checks). Thanks!
