(Phase 2) Infinite Diadem Mining

[KrudeParticipant]

Here’s another one unreachable node late in the lap:

(02:38:25) This node is just bugged, I see no reason coming back here. Blacklisted. :3

I only saw this in the log afterwards but from checking the area out, it seems that miqo pathes from the flying “scouting” position to landing on a rock and is supposed to jump downwards from 335 to 389 (there’s a one-way line there). When she lands on 335, she doesn’t walk forward far enough to fall down the rock though, and can’t reach the node right underneath her.
There’s another way she could fly down there but it’s a one-way line in the different direction (just tested – because otherwise she gets stuck on the rock hump and can’t dismount), so she lands on top of the rock every time and gets stuck there.

From my testing, 389 needs to be dropped pretty far back for miqo to walk towards it enough that she falls down from the rock.

Thank you to everybody for feedback, and to Krude for ideas on how to deal with a couple of the stupid tornados.

Changes:

Adjusted 28 and 30 to avoid getting stuck.
Connected a path from 65 to 77 to attempt to skip 66/67 if those nodes aren’t needed (to avoid dismounting/mounting which looks odd)
Adjusted 66 to avoid getting stuck on that stupid tiny ledge.
Adjusted 100 to avoid clipping the rock.
Adjusted 112 and set new scenario info to hit the tornado.
Set new scenario info to go from 216 to 218 to hit the tornado.
Adjusted node 364, added new node 392, and set a new path from 277 to 392 to 364 to make sure not to get stuck on either log for the diademBoom.
Adjusted 310 to better aim for the tornado.
Adjusted 389 to make sure Miqo walks off of the cliff to get that node.

Please continue to provide feedback if you find any more oddities or issues. I did make 1 round around the diadem, but don’t have a ton of time to test right now.

[KrudeParticipant]

I haven’t tried the full overhaul yet, but with the tornado adjustments, the DiademBoom log fix and the moved node 389 i did on v1.05, i’ve run three complete scenario repeats (that’s 9 laps i think) without an issue now.

Seems like it should be as good as it gets now.

[SirVGParticipant]

One very tiny update while running tests today.

Had to adjust waypoint 70 to avoid being unable to dismount.

That’s the only change in this update. Outside of that one thing, I did make 2 complete circles around diadem. Obviously things could still be found, but that’s still a vast improvement.

[Strife025Participant]

Cool thanks SirVG, I’ll test tonight and see if I get any issues. Currently at 200K Min and 300K botany points… man grinding to 500K is pretty crazy for gathering, crafting seems so much easier.

Well crafting is only “easier” because there’s way more of them to go thru. With DoL you only have to do 3 cheevos… for DoH you need to do 8. Doing all of one discipline takes around the same time, Lol.

[tcarroll89Participant]

Is it possible for it to notice and gather the 80 nodes when they spawn?

[SekxBlocked]

For some reason the Aetheromatic Auger isn’t working for me. I put it on my hotbar and everything but it doesn’t ever use any of my charges. Am I doing something wrong? I greatly appreciate the help. 🙂

Here’s another node blacklist i found today:

I really don’t know how Miqo landed at that node to not be able to reach the gather point there… Maybe landed too far behind the rock, walked into range but not into LoS and couldn’t mine? Maybe jiggering around the points slightly will help.

[SirVGParticipant]

I think I’m gonna have to move 147, there’s some weird terrain there that’s causing issues sometimes, but not all of the time. For me it’s been dismounting.

I’ll work on that later. Also had an issue with 345 too once, may need to adjust that too.

[SirVGParticipant]

Adjusted waypoint 147 a smidge.
Adjusted waypoint 345 and added 393 for the other node at that location.

Only changes. Hopefully that fixes the two trouble spots.

[SirVGParticipant]

Sorry to already update things, but I actually got a hard kill due to Miqobot going after a sprite at waypoint 113 instead of the Islekeeper (which must have been down). I added a new waypoint and connected it to 113 so she gets back on track properly.

(She tried to go to 119 for some reason, which is behind a rock, got stuck, and that was the end of things.)

That is the only change.

[KrudeParticipant]

Got another weird one. Doesn’t even seem to be a dismount issue, probably a LOS one somehow.

This may be a dumb question but I just started using this and is there a way to change the gathering preset so that it collects Slot 1 instead of Slot 5?

[SirVGParticipant]

You can edit everything in the Gathering tab. You’ll likely have to remove the items in Gather by Name as I set them up for people doing the achievements. Name overrides slot info.
