I feel like the game has so much depth to it in terms of optimization and resource management that it’s also kind of weird all the automatic stuff is so, so dumb by comparison. I’m allowed to fiddle with 8 corruptions, manage an ant colony, work with like four different flavors of mysticism, and am presently fighting the sun, but as of right now, the most complicated automation option I have is three timer variables, to handle one thing. Some of them are just a toggle. Some of them have no toggle whatsoever. The few that do have numbers read one thing, and one thing only. Even the time options have two different interpretations that aren’t consistently shared across all of them.
So besides just letting me pick Amount, Real Time, and In-game Time wherever that box appears, I’d also appreciate a couple more options that don’t presently exist in the game, namely allowing auto-resets to read other numbers (maybe labeled as Check) and some way to change the settings of an automation every time it completed (for example, auto-challenge alternating between all but C10 and all challenges, or staggering ant sacrifices).
