"Taps so far" must be saved with artisan

[WorldSEnder]

Taps are saved per item as "taps so far". The effective artisan depends on if that tap was with juice or not. When restoring state, the calculator has not yet run, and calculations assume unjuiced tapping. This restores the wrong artisan energy on reload.

Store artisan progress directly (paired with tap count). If you want, have a "tap" and "tap with juice" button or let the user edit artisan progress directly.

To reproduce:

• Select an upgrade that should be tapped with juice (right now Serca weapon +20 for example)
• Wait for the calculator to settle and recommend juice
• Modify "Taps so far"
• Wait for the calculator to settle
• Reload the page
• "Current artisan" shows incorrect (too small) value and needs to be readjusted again

yea I know exactly what you're talking about, the problem is that currently the "state" (the instructions) is not saved to LocalStorage, and it's not super trivial to do because it's saved in a different variable from all the other stuff. So now it just resets to the empty state on reload (and the artisan energy doesn't update for some reason, which is kind of the actual bug here)

As for the custom artisan energy thing, it's something I've thought about before. I think the best way to do this (UI wise) is to make a textbox artisan value input. However the backend right now expects a "state" that tells it what to do for the taps prior to the "Taps so far" (and it won't modify it), and derives the appropriate probability distribution from these previous taps. It's definitely possible to input an artisan value instead, but that needs some re-jigging of the backend to make sure that the costs calculation and optimizer stuff behave correctly.

So yea I plan on reworking how this thing works, probably replacing the slider entirely (and moving it to the "succeed and deduct page), but I'm a bit busy at the moment (exams), I'll get to this when I have the chance - thanks for bringing it to my attention!

No worries, just wanted to have it tracked. Good luck with exams (and your own hones).
