bumcheekcend.ash - A zero setup semi-automated ascension script!

Using a pumpkin bomb on a faxed giant butt on day 1 was fun. That most likely saved me a lot of turns (3.75 levels in 2 turns since I got my cracker on turn 1).
 
Here are some fixes that I've been using:

Using the unaccompanied miner option results in an infinite loop:

Burn off teleportitis turns:

https://github.com/quisquous/bumcheekcend/commit/7f4f2f00459d699135e0b93ac75dd31879ca3ac1

Also, while adventuring in the dungeons of doom, I suspect you should check for < 5000 meat and abort. My mp restore value was way high and it spent a fortune on getting 50 mp, and then I couldn't get the wand.
 
A feature request: If a tower fight needs powdered organs, automatically check for canopic jars and use them if they are in inventory.

Easy enough to do by hand, but nice to further automate the process. As a side note, would it be worth adding semi-auto zaps for other tower-required items?
 
Similar, you could check for black picnic baskets and use them if in inventory if you need black pepper...

As long as you make sure to save that for the last day! (I'm not sure if any checking is done earlier, but you want to use all of your baskets the same day.)
 
Well, I'd think that the canopic usage would likely be when you're at the base of the tower, or just before the level where it gets used... BPB should probably get used around the same time, when you're just before the level when it would be needed.

I'll integrate all of these and raise the DoD limit a bit, then spin the next version.

I'll add telescope checking to the NEXT next version.
 
I've been running the most up to date version throughout this run, and now I am running 0.13.

It thinks that the crypt is done,
"BCC: We have completed the stage [cyrpt]."

But in reality it isn't. Does this script not fight the bonerdagon? Sorry if this is the case and I am ignorant.

Another issue: The script exhibits weirdness with the dungeon of doom potions at the 3 gates. I didn't have the necessary potions, it went to the hole in the sky to test out potions (but this didn't do anything since I didn't have potions) and just stayed there. I had to abort and manually farm some potions from the DoD.

It then proceeds to hit the Friar's.

Also would be nice if you're Post-Friar but pre-spleen/liver if the script waited until you were done with your rollover turns before using the spleen items, since you might have the ss-spleen at that time. Otherwise you can't consume it until the following day (I realize this is fringe for people).
 
Same problem as someone mentioned before with the Hole in the sky.
it spent a whole lot of turns in the HitS (I am now close to lvl12) and after I stopped it and told Mafia to do an adventure manually, it created all the items and I had 40 lines, 39 stars and 5 star charts to spare.
 
The script have gone stuck in a loop, where it do not have access to the Knob Gob Lab since the script have not killed the Goblin King. The flag for Knobking is set as completed though.
 
Why dose the script always try to get the Air-Freshener from the bat entryway instead of checking to see if you have elemental sauce sphere? It's willing to set/assume you have other buffs such as +/- combats or +moxie in other parts of the script.

Also dose it not attempt to use chewing gum on strings at the start to get a accordion (as a DB class) to make sure you can cast some of those buffs as well?

Not sure how it try to get the accordions but when I play as DB the script make the rank that require both Big Rock and the item from the Hermit (that is the Epic weapon? Can never remember the right name)
 
Yesterday the script went through the pirates and I thought it was a bit short but it said that it had done everything. Today during the level 11 quest it got stuck because it didn't have the pirate fledges. Looking through the log this is the part where it fought:

So it appears to have thought that after the fight with the clingy pirate ended after the use of the napkin it suddenly had the fledges while in fact it didn't.
Using 0.13.
 
Can you have it check for majorly poisoned after doing the unhydrated beach and remove it?

The script stopped on me after doing the desert because it couldn't adventure in the hidden temple with 1 moxie...but uneffecting majorly poisoned fixed that.

There is a setting in mafia for that.
On the right upper half in the Adventure tab, there is the Action, Special and Goals.
Rightclick in the Special field and set "Minimum poison level for antidote use" to whatever you like.
 
That will only use antidotes during combat. To remove it outside of combat, you can check Preferences -> Remove malignant buffs (or something close, I don't remember the wording exactly), or use Bale's awesome Universal Recovery script.
 
Is there a reason that the script don't buy and install one of those pro-oven and cocktailcrafting kits in your kitchen when you reach a level where you can cook DB drinks and reagent + dry noodle food?
If not, please add so that the script get those =)

Also, when a scent drop off in the Orchard during the War, the script dont register it but rather abort as it try to adventure in a zone it no longer have access to.
Also also, I just got that infinite "Ran out of adventures." CLI output loop, and I was too slow to stop it in time before it flooded the CLI, but the session log say nothing special. Only thing that I could find worth mentioning is that it is during a grind in the Battlefield. Maybe it is the lvl12-quest script that somehow cause a conflict?

Ahhh yeh I thought there was another setting somewhere but that was the first that came to my mind.

Great script. I am going to use this again. I do have two feature requests though.

1) Trophy check. Before breaking the prism, do a check to see if there are any trophies available that must be purchased before breaking the prism. There are a few that become unavailable if the prism has been broken. If they are available, abort with a message that those trophies are available. If those specific ones are not available, continue as normal (break the prism). Alternatively, a Yes/No prompt could ask if you wanted to buy those trophies.

2) Hobo glyphs. Before adventuring in a certain area (no need to go off path) where hobo glyphs are transiently available (the glyph is no longer available if you ...), check to see if a hobo binder exists, and if the glyph for that area has been collected. If so, continue as normal. If not, equip the hobo binder until the glyph has been collected. I missed the glyph on the road to the white castle this way and can only collect one glyph this ascension. I now have 12.

Thanks for the script!
