Automated reset just doesn't

[TacticaT]

I have 'set formation' enabled, with a single group saved and selected. I have 'set area goal' enabled and i've set it to a few different options, from 15 through 50 to try and get it to work.
I thought maybe auto reset wouldn't fire if you had the game actually running, so I quit it. It has now been a day or so since I last had a change to log in...
My party is currently on stage 354....

Auto reset only works in a freeplay. It doesn't work in variants or base adventures or recruit adventures or anything else that can only be completed once.

You also need flow piped to the automation node in your Modron Core for any automation to function.

I can confirm my offline resets do not work on free adventures, just came back after a few days offline to find all my parties stuck at their walls even though my cores are supposed to reset at level 50, this is not the first time it has happened.

However, all my parties were doing patron free adventures, I shall set one of my parties to no-patron ring of regeneration to check if patrons are the trouble.

Must have been at least 5 days, maybe a week.
In any case, logged back just now and saw that my offline parties were stuck at reset zone +1 but then the game started "calculating" each party, one by one, each "calculating" took around 20 to 30 seconds and it happened several times, once per reset per party I assume, this happened for several minutes until it stopped and everything seemed ok, if it took this long to "calculate" less than 24 hours worth of resets, I can imagine it would break with more days, Im going to test for 3 days, not logging in until the 27th and report back.

The question about the 7 days was because the modron automotion automaticly stop after a week, I guess.

The offline calculation is frequently totally screwed up, it's not rare it takes very long to calculate the offline progression or even fails to calculate it. And that a thing that is here since 2017 (a bit less, in fact, there was no offline calculation at the very beginning, IIRC). Anyway, sometimes you still make no progression offline. I've a case this morning, there was no progression on a patron's new variant overnight (Vajra, I think), strangely it was not the "hard" one with mechanic of increasing damage (I stalled on Above Average).

I let two party do the variants over the day (one on "Above Average", one on "Oh, the Humanity!") and I observed no other stalling. Most convenient explanation is offline calculation is poorly coded, which would be in line with the rest of game's global coding level.

Reporting back, looks like if you interrupt the calculating phase it can stop and mess your parties, to avoid this,m simply open the switch party interface and let the game calculate everything before you do something else.

So basically wait a minute or two after the game starts proper.
