Enabling this config will start the bot npc farming for you. Level 1-5 npcs can be farmed with no losses for free resources with the proper research and troops, whereas level 6+ npcs cannot be. Level 10 npc farming is configured seperately and will be explained further down this page. The bot will farm npcs in a radius around your city as specified in DistancePolicy or modified by FarmingPolicy.

By default the bot will send out as many npc runs at a time as it's able to with troops, heroes, and limits. You may wish to control how many are sent at a time. This can be done via the goal NpcTeams or via RallyPolicy.

The bot is automatically programmed to send the proper safe amount of transports and ballista (for lvl 1-5 npcs), or transports, archers, and layers (for 6+ npcs) based on the level of the npc and your logistics research. You can change the default troops used with the config settings NpcTroops or BallsUsed. If a hero is sent on a npc farming run, and it's attack attribute is below 50, the bot will send the default number of ballista regardless of what you set. For level 5 npcs, this default is 550 ballista.

The bot starts with the closest npc and works it's way out, restarting again based on the following order of priority:

• If config training:1 or config training10:1, then farm every hour (see below)

• If /farmingcycle switch is used in FarmingPolicy, then use that number of hours

• If config farmingcycle:x is set, then use x number of hours

• If nothing is set, then use 8 hour cycles.

If npclimit is set and reached (ie, config npclimit:10 and you have 10+ days of food in the city), and if config training:1 or config training:2 is enabled, the bot will restart again at the nearest npc every hour instead to train your heroes. The 8 hour default can be changed via FarmingPolicy for each level of npc farmed, or FarmingCycle for all npcs.

The bot will automatically detect maintenance and reset your farming cycle after it relogs. You can also manually reset it by typing \resetfarminghistory in the Commands window.
