Glad to see you got it to work in Opera.

This is related to the second half of my reply to Thum.

Sorry, I have to use it in Firefox. ^^;; Still no luck with Opera.

I will re-read that comment, then. Thank you.

Sorry about the terse replies. I'm not very good at replying on my iphone :x

We accidentally fixed it and are unable to replicate the problem. If you do still have that screenshot it would be greatly appreciated.

This simulator is not accurate. The Quality/Control as well as the Progress/Craftsmanship formulas are not calculating correctly.

I plugged in a rotation for a Rose Gold Cog, double checking every stat and number. Your calculator says it completes with 100% HQ, but in the game, I am left with 84% HQ and I need one extra Careful Synthesis II.

Please fix this.

First off, awesome tool!

It isn't quite accurate from a craftsmanship/progress POV, though. The difference in numbers is very small (1 at most in the 10 recipes I tried), but it was enough to cause two synths to fail for me. Here is a very basic spreadsheet with the data from testing a few CUL recipes.

In other news, I submitted a GitHub issue for ya. You can contact me there or PM me if you want more data. I have 3 DoH in the 20-30 range right now.

Not sure if I'm using this right!

It says this is 100% reliable, yet Advanced Touch failed because there was no Steady Hand to correct it to 100% chance of success (from 90%). Pretty sure those steps won't get very far regardless. Could be wrong though!

Great idea for a tool though, I hope you get it to 100% HQ ;)

Hi. First off, thanks for this tool, it will be very useful!

Secondly, a stupid question and perhaps i've missed a post on it somewhere , but does the simulation assume hq or nq base materials?

The simulation assumes you entered a "Start Quality" in the Synth section. If you didn't enter one, it uses 0 initial quality, which is the same as NQ mats.

FYI for lower leveled recipes it often suggest using the same action twice in a row due to lack of CP (I think).

Example, on a steel elmo it suggested I use steady hand, then steady hand again, for no reason other than to use as much CP as possible during the craft.
