HoursUntilCardDrops
Hi, first of all thank you for this great program but i have a question which you usually dont answer since it is on wiki, which i've read multiple times and yet have problems of understanding, so i hope someone would help me instead of giving me link to performance wiki page of ASF
My question is regarding HoursUntilCardDrops, so if i use value 0, asf will farm game from list until it farms all cards, and then move to a next game?
But what if value is greater then 0, it will move to complex farming and try to do 32 games to value(hours) set in config?
And if i stand corrected on this
Even after X hours of farming, if it needs more it will change to simple algorithm to farm game till end automaticlly?
What simple algorithm does that is better then complex? It can solo farm game just like complex and yet complex can move to simple automaticly or farm multiple games at once?
If someone want to even answer me, he can use complicated (IT) way of telling me, myb i wouldnt be so confused over simple thing

Also sorry for my bad english, it is not my native language

If your account doesn't require any hours to drop cards, by definition you don't farm multiple games ever since it doesn't bring anything good for you, because you can't drop cards when farming more game than 1, as said above.

If you need X hours until you can drop cards, then Complex algorithm firstly bumps all your games that need it to those X hours. It does NOT drop ANY cards during that period, this is why in console it says FarmHours(). Because we can actually gain playtime from multiple games at once (as opposed to gaining cards where we can do only 1 at a time), ASF will try to bump hours up to 32 games at once, to save time.

If we have at least one game that already passed the required hour, then Simple algorithm operates on those games like normally. Once we're done, same thing applies.

You didn't read entire performance section on the wiki then.
