Bone-Market-Solver
This script uses constraint programming to devise the optimal skeleton at the Bone Market in Fallen London.
A bit different but I've been spending a lot of time playing Path of Exile recently. I would recommend ignoring any meta or the economy and treat the game like a roguelike instead. The shear amount of items/abilities/passives/mechanics make for insane build diversity. Learning stuff and planning builds is as satisfying as the gameplay. I spend about as much time ingame as Path of Building[1].

A lot of Runescape resource to XP / hours calculators. What they really need to do is replace VBA with a proper programming interface. Rubberduck VBA [1] Adds some essential features into the VBA IDE but they really just need to add C# support directly.

Let me throw https://www.fallenlondon.com/ into the ring.
It has lots of options to acquire various items and qualities, and depending on our situation, spreadsheets can help a lot figuring out which one is most efficient.
It even has the "bone market", an exchange where you can build skeletons from various bone types, and sell it to NPC vendors, some of which have non-linear payout curves. There's an optimizer for that written in Python: https://github.com/Saklad5/Bone-Market-Solver
It's an awesome combination of great writing, bizarre, whimsical stories and a potential (but not a hard requirement) to optimize by spreadsheet and other methods :-)
