Title: [Beta 14] Analysis(watcher) at -8 always gives W-16 Scout, never W-25 Informer
Post by: R-26 Lightspeed on September 16, 2024, 09:24:36 AM
Using the hack "analysis(watcher)" at depth -8 on a level 1 terminal either :
-Attempts to get the W-16 Scout analysis if you don't currently have it;
-Or says "data survey indicates that all relevant intel is already known" or whatever.

However, the Watcher bots for depth -8 are only ever W-25 Informers, whose analysis can also be hacked at that depth from a level 1 terminal, thus making them more relevant.

I'm guessing there must've been something else at play here, since both the code and my tests just now show that you get the W-25 analysis when doing this hack on -8/Materials.

I'll try to replicate it later, though after thinking about it, there's a good chance i made a mistake, that i simply got the W-25 analysis,
forgot about it, wondered if i had it or not because i seemed to miss way too many shots against them,
checked my analysis list later, failed to see it in there, and then tried the hack which didn't give me the thing i already had.
Then used "Analysis(informer)" instead, which did work because it didn't care that i already had it.

I never actually remembered to try to replicate it, but i was able to confirm that this was just a mistake on my part;
I had already gotten the W-25 analysis from a Analysis(informer) hack, forgot about it, then tried to get it again in the same way, which obviously didn't work.
I verified this by comparing the "Robot Analysis" (hacking) and "Robot Analysis" (intel) data for that scoresheet. The "intel" one didn't count the time where i specifically hacked Analysis(Informer), since i'd already obtained it.
