Nice job.
I did similar thing for myself (orignally began as set of nodejs scripts, but moved to mono/C# + steamkit recently), although I choose to do commanding in easier way (imo), sending them via one account and automatically activating on account that doesn't have game and sending trade offers for me, which I can accept using a tool. Helps a lot with multiple alts.
btw. error 13 = region locked key.

Also activating gifts would be cool.
Totally not requesting this so I figure out what's wrong with my code.

This bot is truly amazing, that's an impressive job!
Thank you, Archi, you saved us all from logging in and out everytime.
And that's really much, I'm a lazy guy, damn. >_>

hi, can you explain in a more, simple way? what is the function?
what's the differences between these, and idlemaster?
what if i run both of this, and idlemaster at the same time?
Comment has been collapsed.
I think i can help you,
The objetive is the same as idle master, get card drops without play or install the game.
The main difference is idle master is for single account and need steam open, and this is multiaccount and no steam needed.
Run both of them will be pointless since you probably only lose drops (probably one start one game and the other another game)

Nah, you can't play from two computers, so steam will disconnect one or both.

I think he mean run both programs on same computer. Also i loved your website with playfire rewards ;)

thanks for the answer!
idle master sometimes caused errors when i have unstable connection.
will this software override this?
Comment has been collapsed.
Im not a professional at that stuff, but i doubt any kind of program will fix that.
Comment has been collapsed.
ah. i will try these l8r.
when i open this, can i play game at steam? i mean, isnt there anyproblem with multitasking or so?
Comment has been collapsed.
i just wanted to say you are clever
i dont get any of this (its a bit of a lie)
i was touched by reverse-engineered thingy
respect, carry on the good job

Archi, you are like evil genius of steam

Just seen then in recent commits you added Debian 8 to readme... So maybe you are interested, that bot works fine on Debian 6 too. Yeah, I know I should upgrade. Too lazy & too old hardware.
Comment has been collapsed.
Great bot man. Works like charm.
Also, Is there any way I can send messages in my clan's group chat through the bot (or just messages in general)? I know this is not a chat bot but still..

bug : i'm getting error and crash when i'm using my steam account with a complex password that contain special characters

Found out it was stuck on "Still farming: 335590", which is the Holiday Sale 2014 badge set. So I added it to the xml file. Not it's stuck on 303700 (Steam Summer Adventure 2014), I guess I'll have to repeat the process.
I also have the feeling that it gets stuck sometimes on a specific game or that it takes a ridiculous amount of time to get all the drops/jump to the next game :/
EDIT: Finally got the "Farming finished!" message, I modified the xml like this (just in case needs it):
<!-- Comma-separated list of IDs that should not be considered for farming -->
<!-- TIP: Most likely you don't want to change it -->
<Blacklist type="HashSet(uint)" value="368020,335590,303700"/>Comment has been collapsed.
You're welcome, thank you again for making this tool.
Would it be possible to add the name of the game being farmed along with the steam appid? As I wrote earlier on a comment, I feel this needs to be a bit more informative on what it's doing, and what's left to do. Using Idle Master as example, knowing things like the name of the game being farmed, the remaining cards for that game, the total number of games left to idle and the total number of cards left to farm are interesting things to know.

is it possible to implement function of framing of all games for 2 hours (if they wasnt played) like in idle master?
i have 10 games which wasn't launched and have cards but as i understood app starts idle 1 by 1 game as result i have to wait additional 2 hours on each game...
Comment has been collapsed.
No because cards are dropping prior to 2 hours mark already.

Any help will be appreciated.

One of my friends have the same issue, so you are not the only one. Have no idea how to reproduce it though(
Comment has been collapsed.
:/ i tried with different accounts and configs and got no solution, it happends to me everytime i open the program.
Comment has been collapsed.
Try same config on different PC, if you have such possibility. Just to make sure that problem is not with config.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the reply, but happend with 2 different accounts in 2 different pcs. Well, both of them have similiar (if not the same) configuration. I'll try in a just-installed-pc tomorrow.
Comment has been collapsed.
On your XML file put that option on "true":
_<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<!-- Every bot should have it's own unique .xml configuration file, this is example on which you can base on -->
<!-- Master switch to turn account on and off, set to "true" after you're done -->
<!-- TIP: This bot instance won't run unless below switch is set to "true" -->
<Enabled type="bool" value="true"/>_

Archi, this error appears when I try to farm. Any idea how to solve it?
Comment has been collapsed.
Try to change the BotName value... Did you use special characters? From the screenshot I see you use portuguese, don't use any characters from it either (ã and such).
Comment has been collapsed.
Looks like your problem is some special characters on your steam password.
Comment has been collapsed.
Archi, would you "update" the bot to accept passwords that have the character "&"?

It's working fine so far.
Is there any way to activate a steam key in any account without having to open steam client for activating ?

I'd rather ask what happened with that one http://a.steam.justarchi.net/ ? Used to be a decent achievement hunter tool.
Comment has been collapsed.
hi Archi, my ASF ran so well 3 or 4 days ago, but today when I run it, it said "Unable to login to steam: Invalidpassword/ Invalidpwd". I checked out the configs carefully but there's nothing wrong. I haven't changed anything & the config totally resembles the first time I adjusted.
I'm using v0.4, tried downloading V0.5 but nothing changed.
Hope you can help me find out the problem :D

ASF is a C# application that allows you to farm steam cards using multiple steam accounts simultaneously. Unlike Idle Master which works only for one account at given time, requires steam client running in background, and launches additional processes imitating "game playing" status, ASF doesn't require any steam client running in the background, doesn't launch any additional processes and is made to handle unlimited steam accounts at once. In addition to that, it's meant to be run on servers or other desktop-less machines, and features full cross-OS support, which makes it possible to launch on any .NET Core-supported operating system, such as Windows, Linux or OS X. ASF is possible thanks to gigantic amount of work done in marvelous SteamKit2 library.
ASF doesn't require and doesn't interfere in any way with Steam client. In addition to that, it doesn't require exclusive access to given account, which means that you can use your main account in Steam client, and use ASF for idling the same account at the same time. If you decide to launch a game, ASF will get disconnected, and resume idling once you finish playing your game, being as transparent as possible during entire process.
Core features
Interesting features
For comparison with other similar programs and further read about the most interesting exclusive ASF features, I recommend to visit appropriate FAQ entry that explains everything in detail. It's also a very good starting point if you want to have a glimpse on what ASF can do, besides the obvious.
Setting up
Detailed guide regarding setting up and using ASF is available in the setting up article on our wiki. It's user-friendly tutorial with helpful screenshots that compacts the whole basic knowledge about ASF into a single document.
