Inside an instance

Plan

Watch how the game day is going: what ran, what comes next and what is still to do.

Where: Instances ▸ open an instance ▸ Plan
Use it to: Watch the game day: what ran, what comes next and what is still owed before the daily reset.
You change: Nothing, except one switch for the game calendar. To add, reorder or time tasks, use Duties.

Plan is the view you watch, not the one you set up. It shows how this instance’s game day is going. Evonex builds it from the same decisions the bot makes, so it never tells a separate story. It refreshes every two seconds, and each list scrolls on its own.

The standing facts

A few facts stay in view all day. Where they sit depends on your theme; the words are the same.

Next reset

Counts down to the daily reset and shows the reset time on the game’s clock and on your PC’s clock. Every server resets once a day at 00:00 US Pacific time. Daily tasks and daily limits start over there.

Monarch Competition

Names today’s round, such as Monster Kill. On an SvS week Evonex reads it from the game once a game day, so it reads Unknown until the first reading. On other weeks Evonex works the round out itself. The line under it counts down to the next SvS or Kill Event.

ON / OFF

The daily event check, and the only switch on this page. ON is the default: Evonex reads the server’s event round once a game day, which takes about 20 seconds. OFF stops the reading; the card shows Unknown and the last reading is forgotten.

Shield

Whether the keep’s bubble is up and until when, such as Until 19:31. The line under it says how long is left and when it renews. Other words: No bubble, Not checked, Checking… and Off (Bubble the keep is switched off). See Protection.

Buffs

One switched-on buff at a time. Rest the pointer on it to hold it. It shows the buff’s name, its state — Until 14:32, Waiting, Lapsed, Capped or Idle — and a short reason. Resource production turns as one buff for each resource you pick, each with its own time. In the Prism theme it turns every 4 seconds, and a buff the bot has just put up or that needs a look comes first. A dot for each buff shows its state, and the list button beside the name opens every buff with its time left and, for one that is not up, why. In the other themes it turns every 5 seconds, and 2 of 4 is its place in the turn. With no buff switched on it says Off. See Buffs.

Arrange the top bar

In the Prism theme, six facts share two bars: the instance’s top bar, in view on every view, and the strip at the top of Plan. By default the top bar shows Now running, Protection and Uptime, and the strip shows Monarch Competition, Next break and Buffs.

Press Arrange facts at the right end of the strip.
Drag a fact onto another to swap the two. Or click one fact, then the other.
Press Done. Reset to default puts every fact back where it started.

Your choice holds for every instance on this PC. A fact works the same in either bar: Protection and each buff open their duty, and the Monarch Competition switch travels with its fact.

Keys work too: Tab reaches the facts, the arrow keys move between them and between the bars, Space or Enter picks a fact up and drops it, and Esc puts it back.

Today’s work

Every task and duty that is switched on appears once, in three groups:

To do — something is owed today: a daily duty, or a task with a daily rhythm or a goal.
No deadline — every other task that is switched on: watchers such as Rally Joiner, march tasks, tasks that repeat every few hours. They are never “behind”.
Done — the To do items that finished today.

Some themes print Still to do today and Done today for the first and last group, and skip a job that already stands in Up next. A task that is switched off has no row; it stays on Duties.

Rows carry small marks: ○ for open, · for no deadline and ✓ for done. Some themes draw them a little differently. №3 is the task’s place in your order on Duties; duties have no number. A ! means the task has a setup gap: Needs setup on Overview says which. A finished task shows done 13:58; click it to open that run.

The second line of a row says when the task runs or why it waits:

always watching, when a march is free, once a day, whenever the screen is free, every 3h — waiting: its rhythm.
Mon–Fri, only 18:00-23:00, up to 5 h a day: the days, hours and daily limit you set in the task’s settings window.
not one of its days, back tomorrow 08:00, used its 5 h today, back tomorrow 08:00, on a break, back ~14:05: why it waits.

Up next

Up next is the bot’s own read of what it takes next, tasks and duties together, up to ten rows. Each row shows when (now, ~14:20, Thu ~14:20 or no clock), the name, a DUTY tag for duties and the reason in the bot’s words.

Only the order and the first row are firm. Later times are estimates and move as the day goes. Some themes show the order without times.
no clock means the job has no moment the bot can predict, for example a watcher or a task that waits for a free march.

The day, drawn

Each theme draws the day its own way. These marks mean the same wherever you meet them:

Solid marks are runs that happened. Their colour says how they ended: done, failed or stopped. Hover one for the start time, the name and the outcome; click it to open the run on Overview.
Some themes also draw hollow marks for jobs that wait, placed where the bot expects them. A job with no predictable moment gets none.
NOW marks the current moment. The run in progress reaches it.
The crunch is the stretch before the reset when the day holds more daily work than time, so duties start cutting in. The day shows it as a hatched stretch, or as a line such as dailies start cutting in ~21:40 (4 still to do).
Some themes add an In line strip that lists the waiting jobs in the order the bot will take them. Hover one for its expected time.

The strip of coloured blocks zooms. Click an empty stretch to go from the whole day to 6 hours and then 90 minutes, drag to move, and click the ‹ 6h chip or right-click to zoom out. After you click the strip, Esc shows the whole day, + and - zoom, ← and → move, N centres on the NOW mark and the mouse wheel zooms.

Reports

Some themes add a Reports card with the last 7 game days, newest first. Each day is a header you can open. Today opens by itself; the right side of a header sums the day, such as 11 runs · 9 ✓ · 1 ✕ · 1 ⊘. Today is a log. Earlier days group the runs by task and show what each produced. Days with no runs are left out. Older runs stay in the Activity Monitor on Overview.

Solo and clicks

When you pin a task with Solo on Duties, a strip reads Solo — only Rally Joiner runs. Every other task and every duty stands down, and the order and today’s work show only that task. To leave Solo, click the lit Solo on Duties.
A click on a task row takes you to Duties. A click on a duty row takes you to that duty on Duties.
A click on done 13:58, or on a past run, opens that run in the Activity Monitor.

Problems?

A task I switched on is not in Today’s work.

Check its switch on Duties: a task that is switched off has no row. Watchers and march tasks sit under No deadline, not under To do.

It says No tasks yet. Add one on Duties and the day gets a plan.

A new instance has no tasks yet. The two small duties that are on from the start take no row here. Add tasks on Duties.

Up next says no clock.

That job has no moment the bot can predict: a watcher, a task that waits for a free march, or a buff that rides with a task.

The times in Up next keep changing.

Only the order and the first row are firm. Evonex remakes every later time every few seconds.

The game calendar says Unknown.

On an SvS week the round is read once a game day and has not been read yet, or the ON / OFF switch is off. Switch it on and keep the instance running.

Everything is empty except one task.

That task is in Solo. A strip above the day says so. Click the lit Solo on Duties to leave it.

The day strip is zoomed and I cannot find the NOW mark.

Click the arrow that points to NOW, or click the strip and press N, or press Esc to see the whole day.

There is no Reports card.

Not every theme has one. Past runs are on Overview in the Activity Monitor and on the Dashboard.
