sup y'all. i am here for one of my occasional "let's make garbo slightly better" issues. in a recent run of garbo, garbo used 400 psychokinetic energy blobs, at a cost of roughly 52,000 meat over 650 adventures; that's 80 meat per adventure. gonna be real: that's kind of a lot! realistically, we'd need a more full-spectrum bespoke improvement on universal recovery to fully fix this.

however, i do have a few very quick ideas that might add a little bit of extra value and cut down these costs:

  • use blue rockets. yeah, i know -- it's like 200 meat 5 times a day. but even at low MP, that -has- to cut into that restoration cost at least a bit. i know restoration cost isn't quite this bad for everyone but i feel like we spend 1200 on sillier things.
  • add Paul's Passionate Pop Song to our meatMood, under chorale/thingfinder in priority. assuming the user has an antique accordion, which they uh... should, right??? anyway. assuming antique, that's 45 MP for 20 MP of cast, which is net +25 in 10 turns and net +2.5 per turn which certainly doesn't solve it all but certainly adds a little value there.
  • we limit our restore target to 200 here. i think we can reasonably assume that is about right. one other thing tho -- a few lines under that, we use sausages when possible before using normal restoration options. most of our buffcasting is done via mood management in mood.ts. do we have any capability to maybe cast extra mood things when we are overshot on MP, to remove the need to be constantly casting?

let me know what y'all think.

today with 700 advs spent. on average this means that garbo recovered ~12500 MP, w/ 17/turn recovered. i don't think blue rocket + pop song fully fixes this but i imagine it would be a massive chunk out of that.

Do you use a porquoise-handled sixgun?

i used to have one but it appears it got stolen via pvp a few months back

is this something garbo should buy?

It's not pvpable, but it should absolutely be added to items.md at the very least. It's a renewable resource but gun parts used to make it come from LT&T.

It generates ~25 MP/turn, which should cover almost all needs.

i picked up the sixgun. it is helping but it looks like garbo is still using about half the original cost quoted in post #1?

blue rockets are "technically" value-less and will make AoSOL implementation slightly harder, but i feel like it is a low-touch enough change it is reasonable. any concern from folks if i add that, and add sixgun to items.md?

nice comment from a user in #garbage-collector here

i think this is probably fine to PR if we add a handful of checks to it. proposed checks:

  • do not do this if the user is a jazz agent (motif is Good ™️)
  • do not do this if the user is under level 40 (that's when mp costs start getting really annoying for me)
    let me know if any of yall have thoughts
