Re: Double District Essentials Results

I added preliminary support for discounts to my local build, and the "essentials" version of docks and market is indeed the double district containing them both. It seems that there is not much enough overlap between these sets to overcome the discount.

Re: KS8 seawalls vs. KS5 elevation

I like the look of the seawalls, but not the design. They have jutting out parts on both sides, so you can't put them right up against elevation trays, cube spacers, etc. They seem designed to support battle boards? I don't have any of those. I would still like to get some seawalls because I like th...

Re: Spreadsheet

FYI I think the Wharf may be missing a Mezzanine pack.

Re: Unpopular opinion: Is the haze/excitement of the KS wearing off?

I sort of agree with the thread, except that this actually make me quite happy. I am glad that this stuff fits in so well with the sets I have, and that I don't have to start from scratch. I am happy that it's about fleshing out certain aspects of my collection, and that I don't have to drop 2k+. I ...

Re: Double District Essentials Results

Thank you, this was a (rather major) bug! I did not realize that several of the fieldstone sets have the exact same name as the wood sets, and the optimizer would get them mixed up. The minimal cost sets it finds for your problem is now $3423, and consists of: 2 freestanding wooden walls 2 cobblesto...

Re: Double District Essentials Results

Nice! This is very valuable. I'm going through a similar exercise. To be clear, this is purchasing District A on the left, then adding sets so that you have the option to build District B instead, not at the same time? Couple of comments: 1) I think some of your numbers are high. For example, my Al...

Re: Double District Essentials Results

This is using the Optimizer to be able to build BOTH sets. See the forum topic on it. No guarantee what the set composition is to do it, it should find the cheapest way. All algorithmic. https://forum.dwarvenforge.com/viewtopic.php?t=12997#p213459 It shouldfind the cheapest way, but it's possible t...

Re: Do people prefer sets made for specific builds or made from types of piece?

In my case, I will store things by type and will forget what set they came from. I actually prefer to buy things by type instead as collections, i.e., wall set, window wall set, door wall set, magnet wall set, post set, floor set, etc. For the most part I also store stuff by type, because it's most...

Re: pledge optimizer up

The optimizer has also been updated with the latest version of Randy's spreadsheet, which corrects a few sets.

Re: pledge optimizer up

For those interested in only landmark or district "essentials"-style configurations, I made a simpler version of my optimizer at https://dfperiod3.github.io/cu_essentials.html. choose the combination of landmarks/districts you want to be able to build (but not at the same time), and hit op...
