Trying to figure out how Planned Autocasting works

[June-pie]

I got this upgrade, and I read and reread the rules like ten times, and I'm trying to set the settings how I like, but it's not behaving as I'm expecting it to.

I'm trying to get it so that it conserves mana to always be ready to cast my duration spells, while building up mana to be ready to cast tax collection if and whenever my mana bar hits full so I'm not wasting mana generated while also optimizing cookies generated.

if TC is set to silver, or bronze or gold 1, NO OTHER SPELL WILL EVER CAST!

(I'm not trying to be rude, just trying to make the important part bigger for peoples eyes)

I mean, yeah, I figured that much out from trial and error, but can I make it behave how I want?

fome info first:
1)priority. if you set autocast you will se numbers first will be cast number 1, next number 2 and so on. if TC will be number 1, no other spells will be cast because TC will use all the mana. If TC will be used as last all previous spells will be cast (if you got enough mana) and the rest of the mana will be used on TC
2)Contingency autocasting - allow you to set a mana level where spells will trigger (if you dont have this spell will trigger as soon as you have enough mana)
3) autocasts
a)Silver - cast spells in order (if you gt contingency it will wait with the sequence to start at the proper mana level)
b)gold - cast spells when all silver spells are active (for example if you set your call to arms as silver, and TC on gold it will cast call to arms and will cast TC for rest of your mana and when your mana regen to a point that it will be able to recast it will do so. it will cast TC's until call to arms will be going. when call to arms will finish,TC also will stop and wait till TC will be recasted)
4) bronze - cast spells outside gold / silver - cast them when you got enough mana

priorities applies to all the tiers too

example: call to arms on silver, fairy chanting on gold(1), TC on gold(2)
-cast call to arms
-cast fairy chanting
-cast TC's

if fairy chanting stops then TC's casting will stop too to a point where fairy chanting would be recast again (assuming call to arms is still working), when firy chanting will rin, TC's will be cast again. when call to arms will end TC's and fairy chanting would not be recasted untill call to arms is active again

...but you do know that this is totally wrong, don't you? This is only true for bronze 1.

The new secondary setting is actually quite easy to understand. Golden spells are cast when all silver spells are active and when you have enough mana to cast these golden spells. Wich means that all spells on silver and just TC on gold is no bad way to get the max number of TC's out of a spell combo. Well, when the spells have different spell durations this obviously doesn't work perfect, but at least it's better than nothing.

Actually, he's not *entirely* wrong. If you set TC as bronze 1, no other spell will be casted. If you set TC as silver 1, no other silver/gold spell will be casted. If you set TC as gold 1, no other gold spell will be casted.

yeah, sure, that's quite obvious, but it don't sound like he wanted to say it like this. At least not for me.

Okay, I just had to unlock efficient autocasting to get the bronze circles. That makes it work exactly how I want it to.
