Add option to prioritize duration over steps

[peterberbec]

The criteria used for producing an optimal macro have the number of steps in the macro ranked as more important than the duration of the macro. Would it be possible to add an option to reverse this behavior and prioritize time spent crafting higher?

While this option is unlikely to start producing macros taking half the time, even a small reduction would be helpful. Producing the potions and food raiders need every day takes a very long time. I craft a disturbing amount of Sanctified Water, and use a macro which takes 12 steps and takes 25 seconds. A reduction of 2 seconds would reduce my crafting time by 8%, even if the macro is technically "longer".

There's no easy way to do this with how the solver currently works, which means this feature won't land any time soon, unfortunately.

Maybe I'll learn how your solver works and come back, but for now thanks for the great tool It's been lifechanging not having 3% of my raid pots be garbage.

Let's keep this issue open, as this is something I'd like to see happen as well.

Can you share your crafter stats and macro steps? I can't find any solution that finishes HQ in 25 seconds - maybe my stats too low

Also, crafter action that increases progress or quality will take 2.5 seconds (using macro is 3 sec because cannot wait 2.5 seconds); and other action will take 2 second.

At 12 steps, even if all actions are buffs that would be 24 seconds of macro wait already; how do you finish HQ in 25 seconds?
