InstantSCCS is a softcore one-day Community Service script meant for looping in Kingdom of Loathing, and designed to work for low-to-mid-shiny accounts (i.e. accounts with minimal expensive items/skills). Unfortunately, this means that the user is expected to have a bunch of softcore-permed skills, and at least ~7 IotMs in order to enable this (one of which is the Clan VIP Lounge key).

To install the script, use the following command in the KoLMafia CLI.

git checkout https://github.com/Pantocyclus/instantsccs.git release

For those who are interested in using InstantSCCS as is, the following sections detail the prerequisites, choices in Valhalla, and required resources.

• Ensure that you have the following items (which will be pulled/used during the run): 1x one-day ticket to Dinseylandfill, 1x Calzone of Legend, 1x Deep Dish of Legend, 1x Pizza of Legend and 1x borrowed time.
  • If you have any one of the scaler zones or a Tome of Clip Art, ensure that you have a non-Euclidean angle before ascending.
  • If you have both a scaler zone and a Tome of Clip Art, ensure that you have both a non-Euclidean angle and an Abstraction: Category before ascending.
• Ensure that you have access to a clan with a fully stocked VIP lounge. Also ensure that the Clan Floundry has sufficient stocks of cod to pull a codpiece.
• Have any one of the factory-irregular skeleton, remaindered skeleton or swarm of skulls banished in your ice house.
• Have an factory worker (female), Witchess King and red skeleton registered in your combat lover's locket.
• Have at least 10 ascensions so that you can purchase an all-purpose flower from The Gift Shop; this should include at least 5 100% familiar runs so that you have the astral pet sweater unlocked.
• Have the following cookbookbat recipes read: honey bun of Boris, Pete's wiley whey bar, Boris's bread, roasted vegetable of Jarlsberg, Pete's rich ricotta, plain calzone and baked veggie ricotta.
• Ensure your trainset has not been reconfigured in the past 40 turns prior to ascending (we will need to reconfigure it immediately upon ascension).
  
• You should run instantsccs sim to check if you have all the necessary requirements.
  
  • Note that while not a lot of requirements are listed as necessary, you are highly encouraged to have most, if not all, of the highly recommended resources (or have shinies to make up for whichever is lacking).
    
  • The script will not break if you are lacking any particular non-necessary requirement, but it will also not guarantee you success for a one-day ascension if all you have are only the necessary requirements and nothing else.
    
  • It will, however, almost certainly break if any of the requirements marked "Necessary" are missing.
    

Because we rely heavily on the cookbookbat ingredients, (1) this route only works for Saucerors, and (2) the astral six-pack is the only useful astral consumable since it doesn't compete with the stomach-space required by the cookbookbat. The pet sweater allows us to benefit from the Disgeist in the NC test, and The Opossum gives us +5 turngen and free +11ML from the Mind Control Device.

• astral six-pack from The Deli Lama
• astral pet sweater from Pet Heaven
• Sauceror
• The Opossum
• Softcore

IotMs are incredibly expensive, and they tend to increase in price the longer they have existed due to the artificial supply limit. Unfortunately, they are incredibly powerful too, and so we will need to rely on them to enable a 1-day SCCS. There is a hard requirement on the Clan VIP Lounge key, as it is one of the few "IotMs" that are recurring (and thus are not gated by the same artificial supply limit as mentioned above), and it provides access to >= 30 Mr. A's-worth of IotMs.
One of the hardest tasks in CS is levelling, due to the limited resources we have access to to optimise for the stat tests (HP, Mus, Myst, Mox). The other required IotMs thus have to provide incredible statgain and/or turngen/turnsave potential. The current routing is built around the following 6 other IotMs.

If you're looking to modify the script yourself, you may also consider these useful IotMs. Any IotM that grants access to a scaler zone helps save a pull on the daypass, which may then be used on other useful pulls (e.g. non-Euclidean angle or SPF 451 lip balm).
Once you start getting more and more free fight sources, the less reliant you will be on the trainset and bowling ball for xp (they may be swapped out). Shinies that reduce turncount on the tests will then reduce the reliance on the cookbookbat for turngen.
_{^{Note that the various IotMs may have turnsaves in the same area, so having access to a bunch of them would result in fewer turns saved than the naive sum of the estimates listed here.}}

_{^{Note that the base route grabs cookbookbat ingredients 6 times while the other routes only grab it 5 times (which results in one less epic food turngen from the Pete's wiley whey bar)}}
*Enables alternative routing that potentially saves another ~11 turns.
**The Fourth of May Cosplay Saber combos really well with the industrial fire extinguisher, saving an additional ~35 turns (from Fireproof Foam Suit).
It also enables the Pocket Meteor Guide in saving an additional ~16 turns on the wdmg, sdmg and famwt tests.
Both benefit from an additional +4 turns saved in enabling cowrruption to be carried over to the sdmg test.
_{^{This is not meant to be an exhaustive list, and the turns saved are only relevant to this particular route. There are many other strong IotMs, including corked genie bottle, Pack of Every Card, Source terminal, Witchess Set and suspicious package just to name a few.}}

The following is a list of currently supported IotMs. Note that because this is a generalist script, we may not be able to eke out every last bit of value from extremely niche uses of these IotMs. In fact, when you have a significant amount of shinies, we might use resources inefficiently in a manner that may overcap the tests (e.g. for leveling, hot resist, wdmg etc).

Following the routing laid out below in the Basic Run Plan, this script will definitely fail if you do not meet all of the following requirements, as various task completion conditions are hardcoded to depend on them:

• Ascend as a Sauceror into softcore Community Service
  
• Own a Clan VIP Lounge key, model train set, cosmic bowling ball and cookbookbat
  
• Have Advanced Saucecrafting, Saucegeyser and Snokebomb softcore permed
  
• Have a Pizza of Legend, Deep Dish of Legend and Calzone of Legend available in Hagnk's
  
• Have access to any one of the scaler zones, either by owning the charters or a daypass
  
• Have either the factory-irregular skeleton, remaindered skeleton or swarm of skulls banished in your ice house
• Have at least 10 ascensions
  
• Know all of the following cookbookbat recipes: honey bun of Boris, Pete's wiley whey bar, Boris's bread, roasted vegetable of Jarlsberg, Pete's rich ricotta, plain calzone and baked veggie ricotta.
• Have your trainset be reconfigurable.
  

Run instantsccs sim to ensure you have all the necessary requirements before you ascend!

Merely satisfying all of the above likely leaves you miles away from being able to complete a one-day run. Because we do not rely heavily on too many IotMs to carry us through the SCCS run, you are highly recommended to have the following bunch of skills and familiars to enable this run. The small +stat% buffs matter a lot for the offstat tests, and each of these resources will save 1 or more turns in your run.

If you're missing any of the skills, do take a look at the list of supported IotMs to see if said IotMs can make up for the deficiencies.

You are also strongly recommended to have the following resources. However, unlike the resources above, none of them provide much turngen/turn savings individually (although together they do make up quite a bit), and these may also be easily replaced with more shinies.

The following is a summary of the resources used in the run.

This plan tracks the most pessimistic adventure gains from consumables. You should expect more adventures on average (realistically, you should get roughly ~14.5adv more on average).

  • Use the red box after! You might get some useful items, including the red book, red letter or even the red shoe
    
  • (For alternative routes, the reminisced red skeleton tunes your locket to +50%mus, which may be helpful in running the Mus test before reminiscing the Witchess King for the Mox test)
• Spend turns and free fights powerleveling until you get the cookbookbat to drop its ingredients 6 times (this can be dropped to 5 if you have additional shinies as shown in the graph above), and a base myst of no less than 195 (which also can be lowered with more stat%-granting shinies). For the minimal route:
  
  • Spend ~36 more adventures in Gator's, hitting no less than 185 base myst (you need to have 195 base myst by the end of your powerleveling) (~36 turns, 26+ adv remaining, 4/5/0 organs)
    
    • Do not your reconfigure your trainset now even if you can

This should be a ~1/310 SCCS completed (assuming you don't roll the lowest turngen on all your consumables).

Donate your body to science!

No. This script is hardcoded to eat the 3x T4 cookbookbat foods (which are all pulled), and it is highly unlikely that you will be able to generate enough ingredients to cook all of them in HC (without any pulls).

No. The completion criteria for the powerleveling task is hardcoded/tuned to the seeded cookbookbat ingredient drops for Saucerors. We will likely not be able to satisfy this criteria if you run any other class.

There is currently only 1 facial expression that gives xp% - Inscrutable Gaze (for myst xp%). For low shinies, this can make or break the run, so this limits us to only myst classes.

We will also need to craft both the offstat T3 cookbookbat foods for the stat% they give (to clear the stat tests), which necessitates having all the different ingredients dropping before our powerleveling ends in ~55 turns (excess turns result in increased turncount, requiring more turngen). This rules out Pastamancer and Disco Bandit.

We will also need 2 Vegetable of Jarlsberg drops in those same ~55 turns in order to craft the myst T2 (for item%; on top of the T3 foods we're crafting above), and this additionally rules out Turtle Tamer and Accordion Thief.

A Seal Clubber route might be viable for mid-to-high shiny, but the MP regen from curse of weaksauce and soul food from being a Sauceror tends to be invaluable to low shiny accounts.

Run instantsccs savedresources to see a list of preferences you can set to save specific resources. You may also explicitly exclude acquiring certain buffs by typing set instant_explicitlyExcludedBuffs=<comma-separated effect IDs> (and confirming that the correct buffs have been excluded in the savedresources printout).

If you are decently shiny, probably. The list of skills is meant to give a rough gauge of what is required to prevent the script from failing in general, which could happen for various reasons, including

• Running out of HP (cannelloni cocoon)
  
• Running out of MP (inner sauce, curse of weaksauce, soul saucery)
  
• Running out of turns, either from turngen or high turn-taking tests/leveling tasks (almost everything else)
  

The script might still work if you have enough IotMs to make up for the loss in turnsaves from lacking various skills (i.e. the skills are listed to indicate that if you have nothing else, you'll need these in order to be able to complete the run).

If you meet all of the hardcoded requirements, and have a few of the recent IotMs which are supported (newer IotMs tend to be stronger due to powercreep), it's highly possible that this script will work for you (since many powerful IotMs tend to do a lot for turnsaving, which is the sole purpose for many of the other "highly-recommended" skills).

Note that we are already filling up all our organs in this route, so you shouldn't expect to have additional turngen (e.g. from locketed + backed up witchess bishops and knights; sausage goblins still work and are supported). Your IotMs will have to make up for the missing skills purely in turnsaves.

If you're scripting your own run, try eating the Deep Dish of Legend early (this is already done in the script above). It gives +100%hp and +300%mus, which should help you survive a few more hits from the monsters. However, this does come at the cost of possibly not carrying this buff over to the NC test to buff your Disgeist, thus losing you 5%NC (increasing your turncount by 3).

This script supports runs from anywhere between 130-320 turns (correct as of March 2023). Check here for an updated list of the best runs of users using this script/route.

If you are able to cap all the stat tests without using any CBB foods (including the T4 ones) because you have access to a bunch of free fights, stat% and xp% buffs, then you're probably too shiny for this script (and the cookbookbat route). Consider using one of these other scripts listed here instead. For example, this personal script is able to achieve a ~1/105 HCCS with fewer resources and organs used as compared to the ~1/130 SCCS with InstantSCCS.

The drops from the S.I.T. Course Completion Certificate aren't used in the route, so it is up to the user to decide which course they would like to commit to for the day before invoking InstantSCCS.

As with the usage of the S.I.T Course Voucher prior to invoking InstantSCCS, you may find a few community looping scripts/wrappers that would do so for you. At the present moment these are not natively shipped together with InstantSCCS.
