Universal Recovery Script

Then I greatly appreciate your magnanimosity in allowing (nay, facilitating) some of us to cheat to such an awesome extent. :)

The way I see it: why remember something every time when you could just remember it once?

Hey - among other things, I have years of experience implementing programming language development environments. LISP, mostly. ASH is simply my current outlet for doing that kind of development. I don't especially want to WRITE stuff in ASH. I want to write ASH itself and make it pleasant for OTHERS to write programs using it.

I am very impressed with what you-all have accomplished using it.

I was joking, obviously (and you obviously recognized it). Except, it is true that I don't use scripts - with the exception of Ahlifar's Slime Tube script, which I used for at least my last 25 solo runs, including my Slimeling run - and with the additional exception of one or another 11-table script I used every day during Crimbo this last year.

I really should check out this (and your) scripts...

Well, I'm very proud of this script, so I'd be happy if you checked it out only to be impressed by how involved it is.

Be careful V -- it's a slippery slope. Use UR and you'll find you don't want to operate without it. Use SS and you'll happily discard most of the rest of your CCS. Use BBB and get used to not needing to do quite a lot of annoying little between combat activities from your runs. Soon you'll be scripting everything! :)

On the note of making it pleasant for us scripters... there are a couple things which I'd really like to be accessible in ASH...

Lol! Yeah, it is a bit addictive, but I find I can frequently make do without too much scripting aside from UR. Though SmartStasis does become indispensable when I'm dealing with a stasising familiar. You really should have tried it out during your stocking mimic run.
 
Why would the script choose to use 5 filthy poultices (~100 HP, 200 Meat in the Mall) instead of a single scroll of drastic healing (>500 HP, with my current max HP and <% for recovery, and only 600 Meat in the Mall)?

I have no idea.

I'd appreciate it if you'd post your session log for that error and maybe I can figure it out.

Ooooh! Good catch. Fortunately it's really simple to fix.

I've been doing another few bugfixes lately, but I don't feel like making an actual release so I'll just post it here for the sake of my most attentive users.

Edit: Attachment removed.

Hey, not sure why it didn't recognise I have lab access (perhaps because I am already wearing the kge pants?), as well as already having 2 anti-anti-antidotes.

Thanks for the great script!

Wearing the pants is irrelevant. It checks if you own the outfit, not any individual piece of it. The only way that could fail is if mafia is confused about your inventory, you don't have the key or else one of your stats is too low to wear one of the outfit pieces.

I suspect though that my script noted your HP would be reduced while wearing the outfit and declined to do so. This is rare early in the game because the outfit itself raises HP, but possible. Late in the game it becomes likely due to the war outfits, but by then you have access to the Black Market so it doesn't matter.

Concerning the antidotes, my script decides to have 4 antidotes on hand once your meat is greater than 5000. It figures the cost is low enough to afford the extra insurance against really bad luck.

What I notice is that the script went to doc and spent 442 meat for 26 MP. Using the lab, 50 MP could have been purchased for 400 meat, and even if 20 MP is spent on tongue (which deathprog has, at least on that character), it's still a better deal. Hopefully the only possibility is that the lab was not accessible.
 
I think that I confused mafia by getting the kge outfit on one computer then starting to play on another. Though perhaps your script checks for the outfit independently?

I would indeed have lost a lot of hp from equiping kge though - I have a brimstone bunker this run (yay!). So that may well be it. Always interesting to see what unusual situations can crop up and to understand them, thanks!

For some reason mafia thinks that i have a scroll.....or it doesn't use one even though it says it does......i sometimes get this but never bothered mentioning it

Honestly I'm not sure what I can do to protect you from mafia's mistaken idea of your inventory. I'm just glad that my code knows to surrender after a few tries instead of keeping you trapped in an infinite loop.

Also, please stop using the color Lime for your green. It's too bright and hurts me when I try to read it. Use the SeaGreen above that, or the regular green above that one. They're both much more readable.

This is totally anecdotal, but this happened to me on my last ascension as well. I had the outfit and it seemed like sometimes the script would go to the lab, and sometimes to galaktik. I don't think it was entirely an inventory sync issue because my impression is that it would do both in the same session. If it helps, I had the impression that going to galaktik was more likely to happen when the target was for a relatively few HP/MP (in the range of 20-30).

In my next ascension, I'll try to get some more meaningful data/logs for you. But for now, my point is that the previous poster is not crazy (or at least, we're both crazy).

OK, I'm getting a lot of trips to Galaktik in my current ascension. I'm a L8 DB in softcore, still in ronin. I edited the script to set both verbose = true and super_verbose = true.

In the attached session excerpt, when 9, 10, or 24 MP are wanted, it's going to Galaktik (even with knob seltzer in inventory), and when 40 MP are wanted, it's using seltzers.

Note: I exited KoLmafia and restarted immediately" before making the below requests. I've included the "player snapshot" that mafia generated in the log, but moved it to the bottom of this excerpt.

Here's one more excerpt. Requesting 20 MP, it uses 1 remaining seltzer in inventory, then goes to Galaktik to finish.

I don't think that mafia is unaware that I have the KGE uniform in inventory, because when I manually instruct to buy seltzer, mafia switches outfits just fine. I do have a pilgrim shield equipped, so it is the case that I lose max HP by changing outfits. But I submit that the cost of losing (and possibly having to re-obtain) the HP may well be less than the extra cost to use Galaktik instead of seltzer.

By the way, I am using Universal recovery 3.52 and KoLmafia build 8066.

Code:
 > Calling Universal Recovery for type=MP, amount=10
 > Restoring MP! Currently at 108 of 108 HP, 9 of 82 MP, current meat: 6258 ... Target MP = 10.
