Bot Tracking
I've written new traffic Messages for more automated tracking as requested by Marp. Please take this as a reminder that I will now receive more server messages than normal regarding highly repetitive actions. I will as such, be utilizing "Salem Man" more often. If he shows up, and witnesses botting, he will become very angry and start torching bases. So take this as yet another warning that automating complex salem tasks is not acceptable.



A fast two questions to clarify. This is referring to those who actually cheat with bots to do their bidding, and not actually live players doing repetitive actions correct?
It there a way you will attempt to verify it's a bot and not actually a settler doing a repetitive action?
I often do repetitive things for example if I want a rabbit steak I don't just find a single meal. If I need a log I take a few trees. I need a stone I disintegrate a boulder.

Well that certainly makes being a trader more of a nuisance :/

Well... does that include people memorized? Or just people who were officially kinned? If you delete them now... will that remove their ability to curse you? Or are traders going to be ***** and having to add constantly being paranoid about being cursed to over the million other "tasks" you have to do in Salem? I mean granted.. I get being worried if you go to town and stand around afk and such. But does this sort of open the opportunity for witches to curse safely from within the confides of their own base?
