there is a !restart command if you mean that

Though i can't be sure about the usefulness of the farmall command, it's quite easy for Archi to implement it. His coding style is immaculate imho so these changes and extensions are pretty trivial.

Something like that, will do the trick.

private static async Task<string> ResponseFarmAll(ulong steamID) {
    if (steamID == 0) {
        ASF.ArchiLogger.LogNullError(nameof(steamID));
        return null;
    }

    if (!IsOwner(steamID)) {
        return null;
    }

    await Task.WhenAll(Bots.Values.Where(bot => bot.IsConnectedAndLoggedOn).Select(bot => bot.ResponseFarm(steamID))).ConfigureAwait(false);
    return "Done!";
}

along with an injection in the main switch statement

case "!FARMALL":
      return await ResponseFarmAll(steamID).ConfigureAwait(false);

modified code is taken from !lootall command @ bot.cs

Impossible in automatic mode due to being the most inefficient method that ever existed.

That's a Steam limitation, there's no way to circumvent it.
Have you tried setting the bots' profiles to friends-only?

It's possible if you fill API key. ASF is then eligible to use another method that works with private profiles.

No. And there won't exist one, ever.

Steam as usual

Yeap, Valve blocked all limited accounts from card farming too.

What features are unavailable to me? source

also this:

It's no longer possible to drop any cards on limited accounts (those that never spent 5$ in steam store). ASF FAQ

limited account = no cards drops

wrong data input?

You either delinked it or in other way invalidated old data (that you imported). Remove Bot.db of affected bot instance and try again, this time importing authenticator that works.

Best thing is to set console options static, as in - you can make Windows remember your settings and launch ASF always with them, which doesn't make you in need of resizing each time.

This is not ASF bug, as console output and everything regarding that is entirely OS thing - ASF doesn't even know if you have any window with any settings catching the text being sent.

Unfortunately it's console window's bug introduced with the win10 anniv. update. Check here

Will command prompt being completely replaced by powershell fix this?

That's not the purpose of ASF.

Steam

mine was idleing yesterday, maybe issue restart

Even best bots need some rest :3.

As usual, volvo fuckups, networking issues, and maintenance. Also as usual he'll respond ASAP if he's online. ASAP does not mean immediately if there are issues though.

Config edit.

There is no auto-rejection, unless you enabled IsBotAccount (and why would you do that on your NOT bot account?).

Thanks. Really nice feature. But fund a (display) bug. If no Profilpicture is assigned (in steam) the icon on the list is really really big, like 4 times the size of the ones with icon.

And matching using STM still does not work if a bot is not registered as "bot" on STM (it gets matched as user and not as accept anything). But guess thats not a problem on your side ;->

Can't you just connect all ASF instances to one single AI network, that does the trading stuff fully automatically? ;->

PS: The steam-name as mouseover would be really nice as well, but I'm not sure if thats caught somewhere anyways or if that would need an extra request.

PSS: Also a direct Link to the steam Profil (or a direkt trade link, but that should be opt-in, not opt-out) would be really nice.

do you need to change something else except the exe for pre-release?

Great feature, not many seem to be using pre-release with only 6 hits.

I've been running the pre-release for a few days now and so far it's working perfectly.
Great feature :D Looking forward to more people starting using it.

SteamMasterID.

Nope, that is what Headless is for, and/or ASF 2FA. Personally I suggest ASF 2FA, it solves this issue quite nicely.

Usually indicates not reading FAQ.

I don't know from where you got the impression that you need to download any games, if FAQ clearly states that you do not have to.

I'm sorry, but it seems that your "issues" is you don't want to read FAQ and try to understand what each parameters do in configs. For example, this one:

For some reason (the alternative Steam connection maybe? or ASF loading the inventory page for some reason?), the Steam client immediately resets its card drop notification counter after a few seconds when farming through ASF. This isn't good. You might miss new drops that way... (?)

Is easily fixable by setting DismissInventoryNotifications value to false. I think your issues with delays and "group farming" (whatever it should means) is only because of wrong configuration. Just read wiki https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiSteamFarm/wiki/Configuration it's very informative and i don't understand how you can have issues after reading it.

To be fair, point about idling "most valuable cards" is valid. Don't need it myself personally since i'm not selling most of my cards, but it may be useful for some people

Initially I didn't even want to repond, because every single one of your points was at some point carefully answered and responded to, but let's make an exception and repeat what was already said multiple times in this thread, so hopefully other people will also understand it better.

why is it still so arid compared to IdleMaster..? Why does the comparison box in the original post only indicate the good things about ASF but not the bad ones?

ASF is NOT idle master, and will never be. It never was my intention to make IM substitute, because I do NOT reinvent the wheel and waste my time on something that does exist already. ASF was initially supposed to work for me only, then I released it to general public so other people can make use of it as well, adding features I like, improving things I consider important, and developing program in the way I see fit. This is most important point that people apparently forget all the time - ASF is not for you. I'm not paid to code ASF for some specific audience or specific people - ASF is supposed to work for me, and I share it on simple basis "it works for me, it perhaps can work for you too - if it does, great, maybe you give feedback or say thanks, if it doesn't - that's fine, it was not my intention to make everyone use it anyway". This is most important thing to keep in mind, because every single feature I add to ASF, I add because I consider it practical, useful, and somebody asked me for that, if I didn't add it for myself specifically. When I compare ASF to IM, I obviously focus on aspects why you should consider using ASF - not doing a review of both programs and objectively pointing out their pros and cons - I can't be objective anyway when it comes to my program, regardless of how hard I try. Even more - I'd actually appreciate if people did not use ASF, because the fact is that it was never designed for typical IM users in the first place, and I'd appreciate if IM was still developed, so people who don't need ASF features would simply use something that suits them better. Luckily or not, they just consider ASF better, I can't blame them for that.

Ease of configuration. I still don't know why it's so complicated...

It's not complicated at all if you stick to the wiki and follow simple tutorial. I have many friends that I seriously consider quite stupid when it comes to IT, and noone of them had any problems setting up ASF, even those that I did expect to have problems with it. Every single user that complained about ASF configuration complexity either did not bother reading wiki at all, or expected ASF to be IM, and I think I already explained why ASF is not IM and will never be. "Objectively" I think that based on users and general feedback I'm receiving in this thread, configuration of ASF is easy enough if somebody spends his time reading the wiki, and if somebody doesn't want to read the wiki, then I'll always repeat that IM still exists - please don't force yourself to use ASF, I'm not being paid for +1 user using my software, in fact, I'd prefer if nobody used it, less bug reports and questions to answer :3.

The log is too verbose in some areas, and not enough in others. I don't really care about the ASF process, but I'd love to know more about my profile process.

Then why do you track what ASF process is doing, instead of what your account is doing? There is !status command that perfectly explains what is going on. ASF log is... plot-twist - for ASF, not for your account. I don't agree with your above point at all, I find ASF log extremely useful and powerful, especially if you actually read wiki section about logging and learn how you can make it more/less verbose in any single place, because ASF allows you to tell it what exactly you're looking for in terms of logging, it even allows you to log to databases or to another PC if needed.

The 2-hour group farming.

If you read performance section on the wiki, then you'd understand how Complex algorithm works, and why it's much better than your proposed solution, which is entirely inefficient. You didn't do that though, so I'm not going to explain it either - ASF uses the most effective farming algorithms for all currently available types of accounts, if somebody thinks he knows better, he doesn't understand how Valve algorithms work.

While I'm at it-- why not indicate the name of the games when you're group farming them?

Because I don't need such spam, nobody does. If you need it at all cost, then you can still execute !api and read your raw data in whatever way that satisfies you.

IdleMaster allows you to farm for 'valuable' cards first.

This is not IdleMaster, but you know that already, so I'll only explain why this function is not in ASF yet - this is because IM uses proprietary API for getting card values, powered by EnhancedSteam. ES userscript is indeed open-source, but the API we're talking about is server-sided, which is NOT open-source, documented, or even available for general public. In other words, this is hidden feature coded by jshackles as addition to ES, entirely for IM, and nothing else. I could use that if I wanted, but I don't want to for several strong reasons, such as: no source, no guaranteed server uptime, no any control over returned data, no documentation and no support, also the fact that I'm not permitted to use it (jshackles most likely wouldn't appreciate it). In short, this feature will NOT happen anytime soon, and if it's so crucial for somebody to farm based on cards value, then I honestly suggest to switch to IM immediately, because it's least of my priorities.

The Steam client immediately resets its card drop notification counter after a few seconds when farming through ASF.

I don't know about you, but I find this feature extremely good as I finally have no need to manually mark those item drops as read, I don't care about cards dropping, I have better stuff to do than checking each 30 minutes which 0.03$ card dropped. But of course, you can turn it off, as ASF allows you to customize nearly every aspect of the farming process, through DismissInventoryNotifications. And answering your other arguments right away:

Perhaps it wasn't there when I first tried it (March).

It was there since the moment this feature was added. Lack of knowledge how ASF works does not really justify stating that something is impossible or not working in the way you want, assuming that it is in fact possible.

It's been a few weeks since Valve changed their card drop system.

I still consider it accidental change, aka bug/fuckup, and not intentional modification. I did lots of test in order to find out if that drop can be justified by any possible mean, and it turns out that it's so unreliable and irrational, that adding any logic on top of farming process to ASF would heavily complicate entire farming code, that will now try to start to use the bug/fuckup for his own gain. I do not code ASF around steam fuckups if I don't have a strong argument to say that what is happening is indeed intentional and that's how it should work. Even if it is indeed intentional and justified, dropping that 1 card changes absolutely nothing in terms of completing farming, as you still need another 2 hours + X time to get remaining cards, and ASF changes from multiple-farm to solo-farm anyway when game reaches 2h mark, so it doesn't change anything if you do game-skip at 0.0h, and then keep farming until 2h, or if you do game-skip at 2h after you're done (because you need to, in order to switch game anyway). In long-run it changes absolutely nothing, and short-run doesn't mean anything to ASF, as if you indeed compared short-run of ASF vs anything, then ASF wins hands-down as the chance of IM getting stuck, your steam client running into a bug, or steam network downtime/maintenance is much higher than the chance that ASF runs into such condition. This is one of the core points of why ASF exists - so I can launch it on my server and forget about it's existance. Try to do the same with IM on your PC, you won't last even a week without a need of force restart be it because of your networking, IM or Steam itself - ASF on my server is working for half a year without server restart by now.

TL;DR - Your expectations are nowhere close to core concepts of ASF - you expecxt it to be IM successor, while ASF is not IM successor, ASF does crapload of things better, and is focusing on entirely different ground that IM, because ASF was not meant to be IM successor at all, it was supposed to fill specific needs of specific people and not work as a general purpose idling program. Some people still claim that despite of that ASF is better than IM in every single thing, and like I said - I can't blame them for that, I can see their reasoning, I also consider it very good, but at the same time I repeat that it was never the intention. If somebody wants to use IM, then you do not use ASF - you use IM. Unless you indeed want to use ASF, then do not expect from it to be IM, because it's not IM - it's ASF. In it's current state I consider ASF extremely useful, well-written and complete - I'm still actively working on it, and adding/improving/fixing things as I see fit, but things like GUI version of ASF, adding cards value order, or simplifying configuration even further are not on my radar, and probably won't be anytime soon, as I have better things to do than forcing myself to code something I find entirely impractical for myself.

Wiki says that your account starts as limited and until you spend 5$ in the store, nearly all community features are unavailable.
