mh-recipe-optimizer

Getting Started

• Install git (since this is a Roblox game, I don't expect much expertise with the GitHub workflow).
• Install Python3. You can do this via a package manager on Linux or the Windows Store on Windows.
• Clone this repository into a local folder by opening powershell in a folder of your choice and running git clone https://github.com/Pluviolithic/mh-recipe-optimizer.git.
• Change directory into the cloned project (e.g. cd mh-recipe-optimizer)
• Run git submodule update --init --recursive.
• Finally, run pip install -r requirements.txt to add the Python dependencies for the project.
  • If you don't wish to install the requirements globally, run make env.

Running the Script

Python3 optimize.py Full Item Name (as of right now, the program does not accept partial or lowercase names). Names with special characters like ' need to be surrounded in double quotes (e.g. Python3 optimize.py "Draedon's Gauntlet"). You can use arguments such as -r to optimize based on rarity, -s to optimize based on shard sell value, -b to optimize for shard buy cost, or -a to include advanced reborns. For those users who are interested in seeing more of what's going on under the hood, use the -v option and scroll up through the output. Multiple flags to change weight (i.e. -s and -b) can be used simultaneously, but poor(?) relative scaling in the game may cause it to yield unhelpful results. You may exclude items usingexclude.txt (more details can be found in the file). All the slipstreams are excluded by default. You can use -f to include items that are normally excluded. This is helpful when you do not wish to include an entire category (e.g. Adv. Reborns with -a) or you have obtained a slipstream.

Examples

Python3 optimize.py Havium Mine -r

or

Python3 optimize.py The Hourglass -f "Utopian Refiner" "Frigid Dystopia"

or

Python3 optimize.py Midas Blaster -s -a

Updating

If there is an update to the codebase that you would like to obtain, just open powershell in the mh-recipe-optimizer folder and run git pull.

All missing features you think of will probably be added over time. Feel free to submit issues if there are bugs. Have fun crafting. :)
