    Hello Miqobot.
    Why don’t you use Cuda as option for crafting solver ?
    You will have more power from the gpu than the cpu.

    Cuda is nvidia only but i assume we’re a lot of player with Nvidia Graphic Card.

    Thanks for your concern.

    Because CUDA is a parallel computing platform, while Crafting Solver is a strictly sequential algorithm.
    Solver states are sorted in a strictly determined order, and each subsequent state depends on previous calculations. Parallel processing would only make things worse and slow the algorithm down 100-200 times.

    In addition, please note that there is very little value in using CPU Intensive settings. Please read the following post:
    Recommended Settings for Crafting Solver
    The overall gain from using all available settings is around 3-4%.
