How it Works:
The mod functions by using a Breadth-First Search algorithm and the game's known mixing rules to determine an ingredient path.
- Input Target Effects: Access the mod window (default: Control + F), select a starting base substance (Weed, Meth, or Cocaine), and choose the target effects required for the final product (up to 8 effects can be selected).
- Calculation Process: Upon initiating a search, the mod simulates adding available ingredients step-by-step. It considers:
- Effect Interactions: How adding an ingredient can change existing effects based on game rules.
- Default Effects: The standard effect added by an ingredient if no specific interaction occurs.
- Max Effect Limit: Adheres to the game's limit of 8 active effects.
- Sequence Identification: The algorithm explores potential ingredient sequences, aiming to find a path that results in a mix containing all the user-selected target effects. It prioritizes finding shorter sequences first.
- Interface and Performance: The search calculation runs on a background thread to avoid interrupting gameplay. The resulting ingredient sequence, or a message indicating if no sequence was found within the search parameters, is displayed in the mod window.
- Helps determine ingredient combinations needed to meet specific effect requirements, such as those requested by clients.
- Reduces the need for manual trial-and-error when attempting to achieve complex effect combinations.
- Can identify viable ingredient sequences based on the selected targets.
- Provides a tool to aid in planning substance crafting.
