Select research duration

Use the duration in hours, such as 0.5, 6, 12.

Create filter string

Link the selection with dash - , such as S3-DR-0.5, S3-Q-0.5, Q-1.

• Selections are all optional.
• You link without dash, such as S3DR0.5 and Q1.
• You can use lowercase. It's not case sensitive.

Connect projects with greater than symbol > , such as

S3-DR-0.5 > Q-0.5 > S3-H-1 > S3-DR-2.5 > Q-1 > shortest

Alas will select research project from the left to the right. If no research matched, alas will do nothing. B (clear main chapter) and E (disassemble gear) will not be selected.

Some build-in strings:

• shortest, get the research project with the shortest duration. Equal to:

0.5 > 1 > 1.5 > 2 > 2.5 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 6 > 8 > 10 > 12

• cheapest, get the research project with the lowest cost. Equal to:

Q1 > Q2 > T3 > T4 > Q4 > C6 > T6 > C8 > C12 > G1.5 > D2.5 > G2.5 > D5 > Q0.5 > G4 > D8 > H1 > H2 > H0.5 > D0.5 > H4

• reset, example x-xx > reset > x-xx. Alas will refresh projects when selection reach there. If reset is already used today, do nothing.

Use your filter string in Alas

Open config/alas.ini , search research_filter_string, and paste filter string there, like this:

Choose "research_filter_prefix" to be "customized" in Alas GUI, and press "run" to save settings.

research_filter_string = S3-DR-0.5 > S3-0.5 > Q0.5 > cheapest

Some pre-written filter string

• series_4 Do series 4, need gears, use cubes and coins.

S4-DR0.5 > S4-0.5 > Q0.5 > S4-DR8 > S4-DR5 > S4-DR2.5 > S4-H4 > S4-H2 > S4-H1 > S4-Q1 > S4-Q2 > S4-PRY8 > S4-PRY5 > S4-PRY2.5 > S4-G1.5 > S4-G2.5 > reset > shortest

• series_3_fastest Do series 3 ASAP, whatever it costs.

S3-DR-0.5 > S3-0.5 > S3-DR-2.5 > S3-H-1 > S3-H-4 > S3-H-2 > S3-DR-8 > S3-DR-5 > Q1 > Q2 > reset > shortest

• series_3 Do series 3, need gears, use cubes and coins.

S3-DR-0.5 > S3-0.5 > Q0.5 > S3-DR-2.5 > S3-DR-8 > S3-DR-5 > S3-H-1 > S3-H-4 > S3-H-2 > Q1 > Q2 > Q4 > reset > G1.5 > G2.5 > cheapest

• series_3_than_2 Do series 3, also consider series 2, need gears, use cubes and coins.

S3-DR-0.5 > S3-0.5 > S2-DR-0.5 > Q0.5 > S3-DR-2.5 > S3-DR-8 > S3-DR-5 > S3-H-1 > S3-H-4 > S3-H-2 > S2-DR-2.5 > S2-DR-8 > S2-DR-5 > Q1 > Q2 > Q4 > reset > G1.5 > G2.5 > cheapest

• free_research_only Do free research only.

C12 > C8 > C6 > Q1 > Q2 > Q4 > T3 > T4 > T6 > reset > cheapest

• cubes_to_chips Consume cubes in exchange of chips, need gears.

Q0.5 > H0.5 > H1 > H2 > H4 > Q1 > Q2 > Q4 > reset > G1.5 > G2.5 > cheapest
