Interpreting /factory report

Evening fellows.

Firstly, the backstory; today I thought I'd try out the Dwarven Code Solver feature. Identification worked fine and dandy, and /factory report produced the sexy table that it should. That's the point where I got stumped, however.

I'm currently trying to nab myself a new pair of pantaloons, and the table tells me that my gauges should be set to 49, 6, 50, and -6. Negative 6? Huh?

It also tells me that I need (all listed in green, so apparently I have enough anti-ore) -14 coal, -9 chrome, 7 linoleum and 9 asbestos. Again, negatives. It would make sense if I overloaded the hoppers, but coal and chrome only have 1 and 2 ores in them respectively.

So, to the actual question; how am I meant to interpret this data? Am I completely missing something obvious? Is my lack of mathematical thinking pwning me? Has gravity failed?

Thanks in advance.

Please check your preferences file and copy-paste everything beginning with the letters "lastDwarf". Then copy-paste factory report. Also, please tell us exactly which version of KolMafia you are using. That will at least provide a place to begin figuring out how it messed up.

The preferences:

lastDwarfDiceRolls=CG-EJ\=33\:CJ-EJ\=30\:CE-EJ\=31\: DE-IB\=06\:EJ-JG\=04\:CC-CG\=01\:JG-DC\=06\:GI-BE\=04\:

lastDwarfOfficeItem3213=O,BJI,HDB,DJB,RJC
lastDwarfOfficeItem3214=I,DEJ,RDB,HJI,BDC
lastDwarfOreRunes=BRHD

And the table (with generic C/P lack of formatting):

Which slightly cleaned up looks like:

Hopper #1 Hopper #2 Hopper #3 Hopper #4
lump of coal chrome ore linoleum ore asbestos ore
1 (H)/3 (I) 2 (H)/20 (I) 2 (H)/20 (I) 2 (H)/22 (I)

Ores -14 -9 7 9
Weapon Gauges 56 49 61 5
Ores 7 -14 -12 -14

I should probably also note that nothing has been manually set (ie. numbers). Oh, and the space in the dice rolls is manually entered to avoid a smiley.

That seems odd to me. There should be 7 digits there. Did it tell you that it had finished solving digits?

Yep. I got confirmation messages for everything.

As far as I was aware, /factory report doesn't generate a table unless everything has been identified anyway.

I'm not sure what to say, except that sure looks weird. I entered your preferences into my pref file and got this:

> factory solve

Initialized 720 permutations
Eliminated 708 permutations; 12 left
Eliminated 4 permutations; 8 left

That's with my new and improved digit solver.

Notice that we have some differences - 0 and 2 are not the same as in your partial report.

I suggest you do "factory setdigits IDJEBGC" and just carry on, for now.

Well, manually setting the digits has resulted in a new, seemingly accurate table (Cleaned slightly for readability).

I cannot for the life of me figure out what caused the original discrepancies. As I previously said, I haven't fiddled with the deduction processes in the least, which makes me wonder whether or not others may end up with the same problem. The question then is what is the actual problem? Why did my outcomes differ to Veracity's, when the same information was provided?

Questions aside, I believe that a big thank you is due to both of you. As always, you manage to be quick and effective, for which I, and I'd wager the rest of the community, am very thankful.

Keep up the good work.
