"Needy item farming" broken

[magnetik89]

It shouldn't catch pokemon while active.

[jekirl]

Are you running sniping while you have needy item farming or are the pokemon being caught during the fort wander?

@magnetik89 Also, could you post console output that shows this error explicitly?

This used to prevent any attempts at catching pokemon until the resume threshold had been reached for total pokeballs. However, as you can see a pokemon is caught as soon as any pokeballs are picked up.

@magnetik89 Just to be extra sure, what is your POKEBALL_CONTINUE_THRESHOLD set to?

[magnetik89]

from my config

 "NEEDY_ITEM_FARMING": {
        "ENABLE": true,
        "POKEBALL_CONTINUE_THRESHOLD": 50,
        "POKEBALL_FARM_THRESHOLD": 10,
        "FARM_IGNORE_POKEBALL_COUNT": false,
        "FARM_IGNORE_GREATBALL_COUNT": false,
        "FARM_IGNORE_ULTRABALL_COUNT": false,
        "FARM_IGNORE_MASTERBALL_COUNT": true,
        "FARM_OVERRIDE_STEP_SIZE": 20
      },

[stolencatkarma]

this is probably due to the way the main loop is setup. needy farming pretty much needs it's own loop isolated to work right. may need a rewrite.

[sadatnfs]

Does CATCH_POKEMON need to be set to false along with setting the FARMING option to true, or does the FARMING supersede the former?
