I hate, hate, *hate* using heuristic functions for optimization instead of exact functions... But calculating potion batch profit *exactly* would've been too computationally expensive, and anyway, this is getting pretty good results for now. Need more testing.

@lucislou.bsky.social You're a wizard. This is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much!

My #Potionomics calculator, Boxer, is steadily improving! It's a bit rough around the edges right now, but here's a lil' demo to show you what it's capable of.

Alright, NOW we are truly cooking.

GUI’s coming along nicely. Interface elements functional; recipe display/export coming up next.

Also managed to snag the right font, so that’s a bonus! I wonder if I can put sweet graphics on this…

Here's some pretty neat snapshots from Weeks 2/3 of my playthrough of #potionomics: Masterwork Edition. I owe my successes to playing on Cozy mode, Boxer's calculations, shrewd marketing, and good ol' RNG.

We now have a basic interface for Boxer! All it can do is load #potionomics reagent data from a save file, but it’s a start!

Next, I’ll migrate the calculation command from manual script input to menu selects and button presses.

Special thanks to the Toga team for the amazing Python GUI framework!

When she’s not haggling, she’s prepping ingredients, for one. Brining Flesh/Fish, drying Plants, sealing Fungus in airtight containers, crushing Minerals to powder, consolidating jars of Essence and Slime. All tracked on the wood tablet in the title screen (pic attached).

How it feels to start a busy day in #potionomics
