Hi all;

I found the bots had gotten stuck in a loop, so I've updated that to fix it.

Also, I've added code to make them play independently throughout the day, rather than all in a burst, and I've made it so it will recalculate the playtimes any time the standard deviation of nextplays is less than 20000s; in other words, it tries to maintain a semi-decent distribution throughout the day.

I've additionally added a "price-tolerance" factor so that bots won't just buy up to $9999 tech; they will individually have caps between 2333 and 5250, or something like that ($3500 * 1.5, $3500 / 1.5). We shall see how that works.
Finally did the signature thing.

same thing should apply to bushels etc, 29 or under during 1st week of set and 35-36 then is ridiculous.
Patience: Yep, I'm with ELK and Marshal.

ELKronos: Patty is more hairy.

Gallery: K at least I am to my expectations now.

Hopefully the fact that they're spread out all day will help a ton :)

Thanks QZ

These bots aren't learning to farm / suicide at random by chance are they? Either bots are hitting us or some dumb real people. I remember when they were introduced last set there were some theories about them becoming self aware
