It happens randomly, but if it is going to ignore the T# it will be when it is doing seven tinks or more on a single transaction.

When I was running my bot I had runaway tinks a couple times, it was random. I wasn't near the bot one of the times but was the other time, the person whom had their item go *BOOM* had put a higher number amount of bags of salvage in but I don't recall the exact number now, it's been 3 or 4 years since it happened.
One other think I've had issues with is the bot getting Squelched by the server due to sending too many @t's so folks don't SEE the final %'s number and tell it go ahead, I saw this more if the bot was auto using a rare. It's not eh amount of text so much as the number of separate lines, I had redone most of my bot chat to maximize the amount of text sent in each @t, that helped a lot but failed to completely solve the issue.
The one time I was @t the keyboard watching the runaway WAS it ignoring the T number, not a case of a server chat squelch. I had also stopped the bot a few times separately from the T number issue while it was server chat squelched as well, but I could SEE that happening and intervene.

Just to be clear, were you running Craftbot or Tinkerbot?

I remember looking into this way back when. There were one or two people very vocal about it but I could never reproduce. I chalked it up to user error.

not because our sight is superior or because we are taller than they, but because they raise us up and their
great stature adds to ours

It wasn't user error. I watched it happen a few times before I stopped running the bot.

I also had it happen to me, as well as to a friend of mine.

I know of it happening to my bot twice, once while I was watching, the user did everything right. If it's very rare, unable to reproduce bug, then it is just that, but it was not in the cases I'm aware of 'user error'.

Para, I really appreciate the work you put into the plug-in, I hope to at some point run the 'refreshed' version of the bot that papa fizzle is polishing up atm. If I do, I'll likely edit the comments to shorten them again etc. I would also recommend that anyone wishing to do less all of the tinks they put into the window after seeing the odds to cancel the transaction and reload ONLY what salvage they wish to actually apply.

It's not really a user Error but as i have runned the plug for years it seams that the plug didnt get infor from the server like a lag or a packet loss peeps used to get mad at my bot but they found out that i fixed it withen in a few hrs or the next day and they loved it that i was so prompt and honest and now they all miss the tinkering.
