I originally started work on this tool because I didn’t like having to depend on online-only tools by third parties in this case, Mokulu.io. While that third party tool was excellent and extensively used by the ArcheAge community, it did eventually go down, and since I already had a half-working prototype, I decided to keep working on it until it was usable. It has since been updated countless times, with new features and bugfixes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Originally, you would’ve had to manually select a breakdown for each recipe as the calculator had no concept of price calculations – all it did was recursively break down a recipe into its chosen breakdown options and build a table with item values to be displayed to the user. Now, this tool is capable of using component value data to determine which crafting path is the cheapest – even accounting for outdated price information, as the calculator will ask the user to update any item prices older than a week if need be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another feature I find rather useful is the support for any input\/output modules – I’ve personally only made 2 such modules so far, one using the terminal for input\/output, and one using Discord instead. Implementing other such frontends is therefore made extremely simple, and when the project is more mature, I’d like to make frontends for other platforms – namely Telegram, but also a proper web interface, along with a mobile app. I also intend to change the desktop client application and modularise it – give it plugin support so anyone can extend the project – as is, the backend of the project is already decently modular, but the frontend is just a hardcoded console application with Discord support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As for upcoming features, I’m going to replace the pseudo-scripting engine with a real Lua interpreter to allow users to script whatever functionality they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This application is currently available for Windows and Linux but is only publicly available for Windows 10\/11 on the Microsoft Store as of now. This will change once I determine this project is mature enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/gs2012.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-2-1024x677.png\")
