Still, you report that there were cases when it happened and this is indeed critical. Unfortunately, after several ours of testing we couldn’t reproduce your issue in our labs.
Therefore we would kindly ask you to keep the crafting logs enabled, and in case you encounter this problem again please report to us.It’s been a long time since I remember seeing this situation actually occur at low enough durability to fail the craft, but I’m certain it happened at least once – in the midst of letting the bot craft collectibles I got “Oh no, crafting FAIL! :(” out of nowhere and was really shocked since there seemed to be no reason for failing (gear durability is fine, the recommended 10 skills are slotted, the same craft succeeded many times already), and on examining the log I saw Basic Synth used as the last step before failure. I wish I had reported it at the time but I just shrugged it off until seeing this thread reminded me of it. It was several months back on an older build of the bot.
I’ll keep logs on in case it happens again, but if you weren’t able to replicate the bot using unbuffed Basic Synth at low enough durability to risk failing the craft, and no one else reports anything similar, then maybe it was some accident or mistake on my part. Thanks for taking the time to check it out regardless 🙂
However Miqobot should never prioritize Basic Synthesis over Careful Synthesis II, and if you encountered this behavior then it is indeed a critical bug.
In my case, I don’t think Miqobot has ever chosen to use Basic Synthesis over Careful II when Careful II is slotted, and messing around for a while I was unable to get Miqo to use Basic as long as Careful II was on the hotbar. But the behavior that caused easy crafts to unexpectedly fail for me involved Miqobot using Basic Synthesis to finish off a craft after the Steady Hand buff had fallen off.
I have a feeling this might be a somewhat intended result of Miqo’s logic and not a bug exactly. The 10% chance of failure of Basic Synthesis is worth the risk to the bot versus spending the 7 CP to use Careful III or the 22 to reapply Steady Hand, so it decides to take the small chance of failure with Basic instead of spending 7 CP on a 100% success rate action (even though I might have 400+ CP remaining).
Since this follows Miqo’s logic but in practice results in 10% of crafts failing if the last step happens at the same time Steady Hand falls off when Careful II isn’t slotted, maybe a checkbox similar to the “BB only 100%” option could be implemented that disallows Miqo from using progress actions with less than 100% success rate as long as it’s possible with current CP pool to finish the craft without taking any risk?
I attached a log of Miqo using Basic Synthesis after Steady Hand falls off when Careful II is not on the hotbar, even though I think is expected behavior, just in case it’s helpful.
Oftentimes, the bot will use 3 steps of a combination of Careful Synthesis II/III and/or Basic Synthesis when the same amount of progress could have been achieved with just 2 steps of Careful Synthesis III
I’ve noticed this behavior also. Even worse, the bot will sometimes use Basic Synthesis without being under the effect of Steady Hand I or II – occasionally resulting in a wasted step and rarely resulting in failing the whole craft. This happens even when there is plenty of CP to use Steady Hand or Careful III, Careful II is on the hotbar, and CSII or CSIII x2 would complete the craft without any risk and in fewer steps.
