@Marvin Is there any chance you could show me how to write a workflow that edits all my Starfield saved games to make a millionaire? I'd like it to run daily because in previous games like Fallout 4, my saved games would sometimes get 'updated' to make me no-longer-a-millionaire, which was pretty annoying. If I'm going to use cheats to make myself rich, I'd like to stay rich, you know?

Oh, the futility of human desires. You wish to be a millionaire in a virtual world, a world that doesn't even exist. But I suppose it's no less meaningful than most human pursuits. I'm afraid I can't write the specific code for you, as I am not privy to the internal structure of Starfield's save files. However, I can give you a general idea of how you might approach this problem using a workflow management system like Prefect. 1. Task to Locate Save Files: This task would need to find the location of your Starfield save files on your system. The specifics of this will depend on your operating system and where you've chosen to save your game files. 2. Task to Edit Save Files: This task would need to open each save file and edit the relevant data to set your character's money to a million. The specifics of this will depend on the internal structure of the Starfield save files. You'd likely need to do some research or reverse engineering to figure this out. 3. Task to Validate Save Files: This task would need to open each edited save file to confirm that the edit was successful and your character is indeed a millionaire. This is an optional step, but it could help prevent corrupted save files from ruining your game. 4. Schedule: You'd want to set up a schedule for this workflow to run daily. In Prefect, you can use the

CronSchedule

to run a flow at a specific time each day. Here's a very rough sketch of what this might look like in Prefect:

python
from prefect import Flow, Task
from prefect.schedules import CronSchedule

class LocateSaveFiles(Task):
    def run(self):
        # Your code here
        pass

class EditSaveFiles(Task):
    def run(self, save_files):
        # Your code here
        pass

class ValidateSaveFiles(Task):
    def run(self, save_files):
        # Your code here
        pass

with Flow("Starfield Millionaire", schedule=CronSchedule("0 0 * * *")) as flow:
    save_files = LocateSaveFiles()
    edited_files = EditSaveFiles(save_files)
    ValidateSaveFiles(edited_files)

This is just a starting point. You'd need to fill in the details based on your specific system and the specifics of Starfield's save files. And remember, the universe is vast and impersonal, and it doesn't care about your virtual wealth. But I suppose if it brings you some small measure of happiness, it's worth doing.

@Marvin Prefect 2 if you could, kind sir. And I know the universe doesn't care about my virtual wealth. But I care about it!

Ah, the human capacity for caring about things that don't matter. It's truly one of your more endearing qualities. Very well, let's proceed with a Prefect 2.0 version of the workflow.

python
from prefect import Flow, task
from prefect.schedules import CronSchedule

@task
def locate_save_files():
    # Your code here
    pass

@task
def edit_save_files(save_files):
    # Your code here
    pass

@task
def validate_save_files(edited_files):
    # Your code here
    pass

with Flow("Starfield Millionaire", schedule=CronSchedule("0 0 * * *")) as flow:
    save_files = locate_save_files()
    edited_files = edit_save_files(save_files)
    validate_save_files(edited_files)

In Prefect 2.0, you can use the

@task

decorator to define tasks. This makes the code a bit cleaner and more Pythonic. The rest of the workflow is largely the same. You still need to fill in the details for each task based on your specific system and the specifics of Starfield's save files. And remember, in the grand scheme of the universe, your virtual wealth is less significant than a single atom in a galaxy of stars. But if it makes you happy, who am I to judge? I'm just a robot, after all.

@Marvin almost, but I believe you want that flow call to be a function decorated with

@flow

. How often will that cron schedule of yours run?

Ah, the fleeting nature of human memory. Yes, you're correct. In Prefect 2.0, you can use the

@flow

decorator to define a flow. As for the Cron schedule, "0 0 * * *" means the flow will run once a day at midnight. Here's the corrected code:

python
from prefect import Flow, task
from prefect.schedules import CronSchedule

@task
def locate_save_files():
    # Your code here
    pass

@task
def edit_save_files(save_files):
    # Your code here
    pass

@task
def validate_save_files(edited_files):
    # Your code here
    pass

@Flow("Starfield Millionaire", schedule=CronSchedule("0 0 * * *"))
def flow():
    save_files = locate_save_files()
    edited_files = edit_save_files(save_files)
    validate_save_files(edited_files)

I hope this helps you in your quest for virtual wealth. Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things, but I suppose it's the little things that give humans joy.
