This gets rid of all the navigational sidestepping, each of which only adds a few seconds to the action. I would suggest a value of at least 1.~~ Per discussion below, it might be better to set Paranoia to 0 or 1 at most, as having too many *actions* (including the action of switching screens) per day could mark your account and trigger catbombs.\r\n* Enable and set up ScheduledSleep! Multiple people have reported that when they let the script run all day without pause they quickly begin to encounter frequent catbombs, while not playing the game for a few hours a day alleviates this\r\n\r\nDisclaimer:\r\n\r\nAgain, I should stress that using this bot (or any other bot) is against the rules and there is a chance of being banned! I started development of kancolle-auto because the game seemed so brain-dead that I felt like a script could play it 99% of the time, so this is result of that little thought exercise. Part of me wishes I get banned so I can be freed from the misery that is Kancolle, but another part of me enjoys developing this script and trying to make it not be detectable as much as possible. So please post (new) information and/or ideas regarding bot detection, along with any relevant discussion, in this thread."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mrmin123/kancolle-auto/issues/comments/233202184","html_url":"https://github.com/mrmin123/kancolle-auto/issues/130#issuecomment-233202184","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mrmin123/kancolle-auto/issues/130","id":233202184,"user":{"login":"mrmin123","id":4326866,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4326866?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/mrmin123","html_url":"https://github.com/mrmin123","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mrmin123/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mrmin123/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mrmin123/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mrmin123/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mrmin123/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mrmin123/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mrmin123/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mrmin123/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mrmin123/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-07-17T20:28:23Z","updated_at":"2016-07-17T20:28:23Z","body":"@Nuts123 Sleep mode?
