Entry 276
Mutation's whole story under the autopilot, 101 to 116
Filescrates/piney-game/src/session/tests/survey.rsplans/mutation-story.md
With Magus ported (274) and field 13's talks working (275),
mutation_whole_story makes one run from Mutation's new game, with no
start built for any event. It ends every story event and stops at the
desktop's staff roll. The run is 1,400,000 frames long, is traced with
PINEY_DEBUG_PILOT, and took 612 s:

The run is under god mode, and it uses the harness aids the earlier entries list:
- Kite's infection is held at 0 (268).
- The gate hack's Virus Cores are given (270).
- The party is held at level 60 while Kyvia's parts are up (273).
Everything else is the pilot's input through the game's menus and the port's own rules. The pilot's goals come from the scripts' conditions, and it takes no shortcuts through the events.
Still unknown
- How the run compares with a player's play in time: the pilot's fights are long (Innis about 140,000 frames, the area 47 King about 170,000). - Whether a run without the level aid can beat Kyvia 01 with a pilot that grinds, and at what level. - The staff roll itself and what the desktop does after it (the save for Outbreak's carry-over) were not followed here.
