Tanks

+ Setupk values, weights, board and what you want

Load your k values

Drop your k values file here or click to browse.
It takes the newest reading for each attribute, so a file with several runs in it is fine. You can also paste its contents below, or eight numbers in Flexibility, Cuttability, Flammability, Water Resistance, Insect Toxicity, Human Toxicity, Darkness, Glossiness order.

Or just type them in

How fast each attribute moves on the selected tank. They belong to one tank and nobody else’s are any use, so a new tank starts empty.

Weights

Untick anything you haven’t got. Weight is what a deben of it costs you: the search minimises total weight, so put Oil high and Water low if that is how your stores look. Leave them all at 1 for the fewest debens.

Board now

Read these off the tank. After each treatment type what you actually see and solve again — that is what stops small errors piling up.

Boards wanted

How far inside each threshold to aim. 0 lands on the line and is fragile; 3 costs a deben or two and survives k being a few percent out.

Treatment

Recipe book

Every board type you need and how many. A board with spare properties is accepted wherever a subset is asked for, so hard glossy rotproof covers an order for hard rotproof — but making the plainer boards on their own may work out cheaper. This works out which grouping costs least once tank loads are rounded up to 500.
