Azure function set up to run every 10 minutes. Will cycle through a given set of storylets and choices in fallen london, as long as there are actions to spare.
An action is a sequence of navigational clicks in fallen london. They are simple strings, divided into different parts by commas.
action.json contains a list of actions. Each time the script runs, one of those actions are performed. Which action is chosen based on the date and player inventory. Each day that passes progresses one step further in the list of actions. When the list is done, it restarts from the beginning.
The string is divided into location, name of storylet, then an optional number of branch navigations, then at the end a choice.
The location is the area you wish to move to. The full name of an area will always work as long as you know the route. Some care has been taken to accept shorthand names, look for _locations in Session.cs. If location is carnival then tickets will be automatically acquired. If location is shuttered palace, an action will be spent to gain access. Other locations may have other custom handling applied.
Storylet and branch name lookup is done using the case insensitive regex matching. You can also supply an index number (starting at 1), or a question mark for a random selection. Multiple options can be given, separated by forward-slashes. In that case they will be tried one after another, left-to-right, until one works.
Most of the time you don't want to do a specific action, rather you want to gain and grind inventory items and stats. Fortunately we have the aquisitions engine to take care of more complicated actions. In it you can specify that an action has prerequisite inventory or stats, and in turn give instructions on how to fulfill those before proceeding. The prerequisites can in turn have their own prerequisites and so on.
The format is require,<possession category>,<possession name>,<amount>[,<named action>]. Remember that even stats are possessions in this game, so you could for example require "Accomplishments,A Person of Some Importance,1" if you need PoSI for something.
The named action is optional, but helpful if you need to specify exactly which acquisition to use to grind something. There may, for example, be different actions to raise and lower specific qualities. If no action is named, the acquisitions engine will make a best effort to find the shortest grind to your requested items, based on your existing inventory.
The amount when given as a regular number will grind until that number or greater is reached. You can also prefix the amount with an equals sign, in which case the grind will continue until the exact value is reached - very useful for story requirements but fragile if you do not also give a named action. Example require,Circumstance,An Expedition,=11,Silk adventure will only progress when your chosen expedition is 11, which is the value for Tomb of the Silken Thread. The acquisition "Silk adventure" tries to select that adventure, but has its own prerequisites that quits existing expeditions and makes sure you're stocked up on supply.
If you prefix a less-than sign to the amount, the grind will continue as long as the amount is less than the given limit. A "require,Menaces,Nightmares,<5" action will keep grinding until your nightmares are 4 or lower.
buy, sell, grind_money, inventory, others. Self explanatory, or check the details in the code.
An acquisition (acq) has a name and a result. These can be used to lookup the acquisition if you want a specific one, or if you want an acquisition with a specific result. The lookup is done using non-case-sensitive equals comparisons.
Acqs also have an action, to be used to gain that result, as well as prerequisites that must be fullfilleb before the action is taken. Some care is taken to make sure that the default named acq for each item results in the best possible action depending on inventory contents.
Note: The name property on the json objects is deprecated and unused. The json object key is used instead.
Note: Because buying and selling doesnt consume actions, prerequisites that end with these actions can falsely report their results. Prefix these prereqs with ! to avoid this. Example:
"Foxfire Candle Stub": {
"Prerequisites": [
"!Accomplishments,A Person of Some Importance,1,BuyCandles"
],
"Action": "veilgarden,unfinished business,An admirer among the clergy",
}
Because the prereq doesnt give you the named property, rather it gives an alternative path to the requested object, it will report positive and encounter an error when you're not PosI.
Acqs can also hold a list of cards. This is primarily used in areas with constrained opportunity decks, where the odds of hitting a specified card is very high. Prefix the card name with ! to force discard named card when encountered.
Name lookup is done using non-case-sensitive equals comparison. Prefix a card name with ~ to instead use regex matching.
Cards can have optional prereqs under the requrie property. Use ? to denote a requirement that must be fulfilled, else the card is discarded.
