Slime Tube Adventuring Script
- Thread starter Alhifar

Hmmm... Perhaps I have a fundamental misunderstanding of how object sliming works.
I read this from the thekolwiki regarding the engulfed mechanic:
This lead me to believe that it was in fact a random occurrence. As such, I've never actually manually adventured in the tube when trying to slime an item. I merely put it on and wait until it gets removed.
I'm just going to assume from these two responses that there is some crucial battle text I've been missing by not manually adventuring after tickling the uvula? If so, curse you wiki!

Tickle, then stasis till your item has been loogied and removed, then kill to end the fight and get your slimed up gear back. Should take only one turn to accomplish this... unless someone else is in your slime tube using up your tickle for themself. So yes, there is a chance you'll see the message if you simply 1-hit kill, but if you stasis... and can survive the process, you should be fine.
Leave it to me to screw this up...
I was trying to slime a second baneful bandolier. A clannie tickled the uvula for me and I entered battle with a slime wearing a rusty chain necklace. I used a dictionary for stasis until I saw the message that my item had been loogied and it was unequipped. Hoping to save a turn, I CLEESHed the slime and killed the resulting amphibian.
I was surprised that KoLmafia didn't show a bandolier as being creatable. No problem, it's probably just not aware the slime-covered necklace was added to inventory. -Refresh- Still nothing...
No problem, I'll just do it in the relay browser. Hmmm... No slime-covered necklace in the creation drop down. Search my inventory. Nothing.
OK, maybe CLEESH interfered because the game doesn't think I killed the slime. No problem, I'll try that again.
PROBLEM!
I no longer have a rusty chain necklace in my inventory anymore! It's gone.
No slime-covered necklace or rusty chain necklace!So I'm extremely bummed because I only had two Yossarian rewards that I could zap.
I've submitted a bug report and hopefully I'll get my necklace back, but whatever you do, don't CLEESH the slime that loogies your item!
Umm, I don't think that's a bug. CLEESH is an escape, you are essentially making the monster you're fighting go away and a new weak monster shows up in his place. If you lose the fight to the slime that has your rusty item or cleesh, i think it's the same thing and you lose the item. I did say you had to kill the slime. Sorry that happened though. You can possibly zap a sawblade shield or wrench bracelet into the rusty chain necklace if you have either of those sitting around.

All that was in the wiki, just not in great detail. Perhaps someone could expound upon the process if they really see the need, but you need to pay attention. It said, "Upon defeating the slime, you will receive the slime-covered version of that item." You've just discovered that if you don't defeat a slime you will not receive it.
I had one of each. I zapped them. Now I have nothing.
Yes, I understand that now.
I still think it's a bug. The game shouldn't just eat something that you only get once per ascension.
Yeah, I missed that part in your prior post, sorry.
I think it sucks, but it's not a bug. If it were a bug, so would be: the Shadow knocking away my facsimile dictionary (which I planned to pull to sell that day when I ascended). I read the wiki, I knew what would happen, I just spaced it and did it anyway. Not a bug and no one but myself to blame.
It's also not a bug that the black cat can swat away an ultra-rare that you can't even predict when your next chance, if ever, may be again. At least you have some control over getting the rusty chain necklace again. No, you don't have to like it, and it may be inconvenient even, but it's not impossible.

Huh, that's weird. I tried doing a larva run just now, with the exact same slime.ash version and mafia version as the last time. The script tried to purchase a detuned radio, even though I already have one. The purchase failed (since I'm only allowed one), and the script aborted. Tried this twice, same problem.

Do people need to post about this in every single blinking thread on this entire forum? And in several thread on the KoL forum also?
If KoL has an announcement about inventory working differently and suddenly things stop working, does it take brilliance to deduce that the two things might possibly be connected? Could you just reading one or two of the threads that were created today to complain about this shit instead of solipsistically assuming you're the only one who might possibly have a problem?
Sorry, just feeling irritated by it all and felt the need to vent.

I've been using this script a lot lately.. but sometimes I'm using it to hunt for other
things (like medium slimy cysts, or small slimy cysts). One feature I would like to
see is an optional user customizable MCD level. Right now it automatically chooses
10 or 11. I would like to set mine to 0, because with my maxml outfit and Ur-Kel's
I had something like 330 ML, and really I wanted to get as close to 301 as possible.
I know this is easy for me to change myself, but I thought it warranted a change that
I wouldn't have to keep re-fixing every time I update the script.
Cheers for the script! (very useful)

I would like to see O.A.F. support.
http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/O.A.F.
"At the beginning of every combat, the O.A.F. will remove all increased Monster Level. The only exception is +ML provided by the three Mind-Control Devices."
"The debuffing function only removes buffs that can be shrugged off, so you can't use this to remove Goofball Withdrawal, for example."
And in this case O.A.F. may force you to attack with weapon, so minml outfit should do as few damage as possible.
