Auto-open chests and auto-sell

Opening a chest is a town action. An official hotfix note in the 0.1.13b cycle pairs the rule with the bug it fixes: treasure chests had been causing disconnections and lost saves, and the fix restricts opening them to town.

Players had already reported that chests could not be opened during combat, and the hotfix turns that into a rule with a reason behind it. The practical effect is that the clicking is concentrated in town — the one place an idle game would rather not put it.

When a chest does open, the roll behind it is the same for every piece of equipment in the build: each equipment entry stores the same drop count and the same four grade chances, so the table below holds for all 114 of them.

A chest produces 3 to 5 drops, and the build stores four chances per drop, one for each grade in use.

The life-skill tree is the non-combat tree, and it is where the automation lives. The build defines 92 entries in it; a small part of them carry a published name, and the list below prints exactly those, with the build’s own count underneath.

Two of those switches are the reason this page exists. One decides which equipment the carriage is allowed to pick up at all; the other sells the equipment you told it to sell when the carriage drops its load in town. Both are set once and then lived with, and both are only as useful as the filter behind them.

The same tree carries the switches a long run leans on: recovering to full health on returning to town, refilling potion charges after a return or a revive, filling your inventory out of a full carriage, and a slot that uses a combat potion for you.

The build defines 92 life-skill entries; 15 of them carry a published name and are the ones listed here. The rest have no name in either language yet, so they are left out rather than described from a guess.

A filter is a promise about space, and the carriage is not one size. The build stores a capacity on each of its 25 creatures, and those capacities run from 15 to 40. The creature pulling the cart is therefore part of your loot rules, not only part of your team.

Three asks come up repeatedly, and none of them is a feature of this build. They are printed here because they explain what the current behaviour costs the people playing it.

• Open chests automatically. Players ask for chests to open as they arrive instead of being clicked one at a time in town, which is the same ask as “stop making me visit town to collect my income”.
• Filter what a chest gives you. The same requests pair opening with keep-or-sell rules on the way out, so a chest becomes a rule you wrote once rather than a stack of clicks.
• Auto-sell, and clear rules for junk gear. This is asked for in three languages, and it is also reported as incomplete: reviewers say the settings that exist do not take effect when they turn them on.

The first three rows are things the build or an official note states. The rows under them are the community’s asks and reports, plus the one thing nobody has stated; each row is labelled so a reader can tell which is which at a glance.
