[Software] Archi's Steam Farm (ASF), Steam idler (and much more) [Windows/Linux/OS X]

Even if my computer is totally off powered, ASF is still active? Just want clarity about offline farming.

Thank you JustArchi, used Idle Master until now, i'll give a try to your's ASF

Working flawless so far: 3 Cards/45Min
With simple algo.

Thank again Just Archi

Mason, what do the numbers mean?!

Example: "Still farming XXXXXX"

So far, my lil Archi bot is doing great. Got myself 2 cards in 3 hours earlier today.

Since yesterday ASF stoped working for me , it shows me next msg

When using the program the black window with text appears(to tell the farming is in progress), so if I exit out of the black screen does that stop the farming?

hey, do you have instructions somewhere how to import that mobile auth stuff from android in Linux?

I have 2 questions:

1) My anti-virus detects this program as a virus, Is it false alarm?

2) If I run this program in the background and in the meantime I play VAC secured game. Is it likely that I will be banned?

wow this is amazing. Let's try and welcome to my WL ;)

In ASF Global Data not loading error since last night.

Anybody tried to farm Ghost in the Shell with ASF? After 8 hours it still has one card to drop.

i used idle master for couple of months it did good but when it reaches 2 hour of idling it stops and you have to restart it so it could drop cards. in ASF it keeps it steady with no stopping :D i love it <3

2.1.3.0
CustomGamePlayedWhileFarming doesn't seem to work after a game finished farming (reverts to showing actual game played - funny feature though).

I managed to create docker container running ASF on Raspberry Pi 3 (it should doable for RPi 2, but I have no way of testing that). This way I can have server running 24/7 without any need of turning on PC.
Will you be interested in tutorial on how to do it after I'm done with testing it?
Question is mostly for author(s) of ASF, since they can only decide on how people are using their software.

How does farming multiple games at once affect the card drop efficiency?

I was thinking can this be compiled on a android phone since android have some powerful compilers available as cheap as $2 (c# shell (compiler repl)) and like you said it doesn't require a steam running in background which is a perfect , putting a $200 phone on continues load seems to be a good option . We will able to farm cards anywhere . I am not familiar with this language(c#) or else i would have done it myself . Or is this even possible ?

Hm, I haven't changed any setting etc they should be the same as they were back when it still worked...

Okay, there are trade offers but they all seem immediately expired. Also, manually logging in as bot and sending trades works fine.

Manually making an offer seems to have fixed it... KicksSteamForBeingSoBroken

Can I set this up on a VPS?

did the order of forwardkeystootherbots changed with the last update?

2.1.3.1 not working

EDIT: Working after install Net Framework 4.61

When are you going to install a Eliza-type chat mod so that we can give life to our bots? Bots are people too.

framerwork install and now works correctly THANKS!

It kept crashing after the update, so I came here and read the last few comments. I installed the latest .NET and now everything works fine again. SG solves my problems without me even asking :D
Thanks again for developing ASF, it's a great service <3

dayum! pretty nifty thing. THANK YOU JUSTARCHI !!!!! :D

never heard of this project before, was eager to try it out (have a few unfarmed games in my account ;)
but don't wanna have another computer running. > so I thought let's run it on the computer that runs all the time anyway > the NAS.
Well, doesn't have the right mono version, won't connect to steam even :( , but then I thought, wait a minute docker! so there's a mono docker, so easy as this I got it running on my nas:

1. mono ASF.exe #find out if everything works tweak config, log in

2. create dockerfile in the same folder you have ASF.exe and your config folder in:

   FROM mono:latest
   ADD . /home/someplace/asf
   CMD [ "mono",  "/home/someplace/asf/ASF.exe" ]

3. sudo docker build -t ASFdocker . #build the container

4. sudo docker run ASFdocker #run the container to test

5. sudo docker save -o ~/ASFdocker.image ASFdocker #save the container to a file to upload to nas and start there.

6. Profit!
