4 years ago Items and values I'm using for calculating meat per MP so we can set meat per use appropriately for skills:
- Doc Galaktik's Invigorating Tonic @ 9 meat per mp (90 meat/10 MP) : this is the default
- Knob Goblin seltzer or Black cherry soda @ 8 meat per mp (80 meat/10 MP) : when their stores are available
- Doc Galaktik's Invigorating Tonic @ 6 meat per mp (60 meat/10 MP) : if you've completed his quest
- Magical mystery juice @ 100/(level * 1.5 + 5) rounded to the nearest integer : when available. The calc works out cheapest at level 5 and above if you haven't done the Doc Galaktik quest and cheapest overall at level 8+
Other than soda water which is double the cost of Invigorating Tonic (70 meat/4 MP = 17.5) are there any other MP restores always available?

Expected/Desired Behavior
Optimally, autoscend should prefer Cannelloni Cocoon over Doc Galaktik and other meat-based HP restores, at least when the cost of 20 MP is less than the cost of the meat-based restores.
Current Behavior
Autoscend considers both hp per meat spent and hp per mp spent when comparing restores in its ranking algorithm. However, because DG restores do not have an applicable value for hp per mp spent, and Cocoon doesn't have an applicable value for hp per meat spent, the two are never actually compared until the 6th-ranked optimization objective, which is "minimize hp/mp shortage to goal and wasted hp/mp over max."
I think a reasonable solution would be to value all MP-based HP restores based on the cheapest infinite-supply meat-based MP restore that is available. Happy to submit a PR if that sounds good to you all. I assume it will need extensive testing.
