Bug Maximizer Error - Stinky Cheese

[Tapion]

I thought this was a Garbo bug but it appears to be a maximizer issue. When maximizing for familiar weight, for some reason mafia thinks it's beneficial to equip 2 stinky cheese eyes (it doesnt help to increase the stinky cheese weight has nothing to do with fam weight) and, it also disregards one of my accessory slots (acc1) for some reason. Specific sections are below and a section of my session log is attached (size limitations did not allow me to post the entire thing, only posted relevant sections). This happens every day for me and only started after I acquire 4 stinky cheese items. Thanks as always!

• This is what is does prior for the acc1 slot:

[Tapion]

I also reached out to the Garbo devs who said this was in fact a maximizer bug prior to this post.

 

[Ryo_Sangnoir]

Presumably the eyes are due to the 480 "bonus stinky cheese eye" part, and not the familiar weight part.

Is it actually the case that nothing is equipped in acc1 once it's done, or is whatever was there originally left?

 

[Tapion]

Yeah my thoughts as well, I am unsure where the bonus is being pulled from exactly (I did not see anything in garbo identifying it and was told from the dev team the bonus is calculated from mafia). The acc1 is initially equipped as the stinky cheese eye and then acc2 and acc3 are equipped as stinky cheese eyes as well. It seems that mafia thinks 3 are equipped and are beneficial towards increasing the stinky cheese count (my guess where the 480 may be coming from on top of the marginal meat boost). This then ends up with only acc2 and acc3 equipped. Sorry if my explanation is confusing.

This then ends up with only acc2 and acc3 equipped. Sorry if my explanation is confusing.

Bonus comes from:

function cheeses(mode: BonusEquipMode) {
  return haveSomeCheese &&
    !globalOptions.ascend &&
    get("_stinkyCheeseCount") < 100 &&
    estimatedGarboTurns() >= 100 - get("_stinkyCheeseCount") &&
    mode !== BonusEquipMode.MEAT_TARGET
    ? new Map<Item, number>(
        getFoldGroup($item`stinky cheese diaper`)
          .filter((item) => toSlot(item) !== $slot`weapon`)
          .map((item) => [
            item,
            get("valueOfAdventure") *
              (10 - bestAdventuresFromPants) *
              (1 / 100),
          ]),
      )
    : [];
}

That is, if you're not ascending, garbo values the adventures you could get from the diaper over the best alternative multiplied by your valueOfAdventure as the bonus.

And maximizer counts "bonus" as "equip as much of this as possible" instead of "equip at most one of this". The way to handle that in Mafia would be a Bitmap modifier, but no such modifier exists.

When your account gets into this state, run the maximizer command copied from your logs with ", 2 dump" at the end to see what maximizer is considering in more detail.

 

[Tapion]

I've attached the maximize command with the , 2 dump on the tail end (it is quite long).


After entering the following GCLI command:

Maximize Familiar Weight, -"equip Amulet of Perpetual Darkness", -"equip Buddy Bjorn", -"equip Spooky Putty ball", -"equip Spooky Putty leotard", -"equip Spooky Putty mitre", -"equip Spooky Putty snake", -"equip broken champagne bottle", -"equip dice-shaped backpack", -"equip papier-masque", -"equip papier-mitre", -"equip smoke ball", -"equip stinky fannypack", -"equip ¶5868", -"equip ¶5869", -"equip ¶5872", -buddy-bjorn, -crown-of-thrones, 127.8 "bonus Snow Suit", 1301.49 "bonus Pantsgiving", 134.29 "bonus Crown of Thrones", 136.75 "bonus tiny stillsuit", 145.66 "bonus bag of many confections", 172.16 "bonus June cleaver", 180 "bonus Mr. Screege's spectacles", 220 "bonus Mr. Cheeng's spectacles", 2520 "bonus toy Cupid bow", 263.87 "bonus can of mixed everything", 311 "bonus Daylight Shavings Helmet", 371.25 "bonus aviator goggles", 390.69 "bonus lucky gold ring", 392.25 "bonus Mayflower bouquet", 47.82 "bonus rake", 47.82 "bonus tiny rake", 480 "bonus stinky cheese diaper", 480 "bonus stinky cheese eye", 480 "bonus stinky cheese wheel", 500 "bonus vampyric cloake", 6.25 "bonus Powerful Glove"

It once again proceeded to equip only 2 accs:

[Tapion]

I noticed as well within the dump... it looks like it is considering weapons only in ACC2 and ACC3's slots?

 

[Ryo_Sangnoir]

yeah ACC2 is 1-handed melee weapons and ACC3 is 1-handed ranged weapons.

By
[stinky cheese eye, lucky gold ring, Mr. Cheeng's spectacles, Mr. Screege's spectacles]
non-stinky cheese accessories do make it to the final shortlist.

It folded your pants into an eye. You say you have 4 items. If you run the maximize command with the eyes already folded (i. e. wheel and three eyes), does it equip them correctly?

 

[Tapion]

Just tested it, it does equip 3 eyes and 1 wheel when they are all folded as such prior to running the maximizer
