People in my town farm all the crafted curios by hand and I'm sure any normal player who doesn't use bots don't have problems acquiring the crafted curios listed with to much effort.
Everyone in my town farmed there own pearl necklesses in the first weeks of this world. Yes you heard that right, we farmed our pearl necklesses in the first weeks of this world. By hand, in one week or less.
Factless subjective opinions about bots doesn't help improve the status que. You cant just emotionally find bots bad and stick bunch of random opinions you have against it as a fact. Clearly the present facts showed how bots don't turn you into god mode when you use them. If you didn't understand that then I'll highlight the main point.
Pearls are bad and some of the other high end curios needs adjusting. Then the bad bots will go away and everyone can be happy.
Bull. Shit. Your villagers attribute a lot to bots, and those who don't use bots will always have a big disadvantage. You are just too fucking dense to even see this.
Nothing I've said is factless. I have plenty of friends who play the game with zero bots. They can achieve almost nothing about what you claim. Nerfing the LP gain on pearls does shit. The only thing it will accomplish is make them worth even less than what they currently are.
At this very moment with bots that I own and have made I can:
--Start a fresh new character
--Change the sliders to point towards whatever believes I want
--Starve feed the character food that I have made exclusively through the use of bots.
--Equip him with pearl gear I got through one of many pearl bots
--Run a few foraging bots and fill my CB's, and afk him at the CB so his mentory could always be filled (running 24/7, that is a lot better than a regular player who can't play as much that, I won't ever have a curio downtime! I can hit the true peak of LPH since I no longer need to factor in times that I might be away without curios)
--Run a few mining bots so I can try to score me some of those troll skulls (used together with a lumber bot so I don't even have to carry my own logs, also has the benefit of finding me metal so I can craft those pesky metal curiosities)
Here is what I have to do manually:
--Move characters to location where I want to run desired bot
--Fix any bug that might appear
--Manually craft a few of the curios I need (shame i haven't made a bot for this yet, maybe in the future)
--Occasional Check up on it / Starting it up.
What I achieved in a matter of 3 weeks~
1000 con, agi, stre, and any other stat I feel like.
Somewhere around a gain of at least 1mil LP a day (not including the troll skull or pearls)
So around 21 mil LP total at minimum with potential to hit 42mil+ depending on the luck with trolls + pearls. (Enough for close to 500 UA / MC each at 21 mil | 600 UA / MC at 42 mil).
These don't even include a couple of other secret bots that I have laying around I don't want others to be aware of.
TL;DR : I CAN DO SO MUCH MORE WITH MY BOTS THAT OTHER PEOPLE CAN'T DO WITH NON BOTS, IT'S LIKE I'M THE KING OF THIS GAME OR SOMETHING, AND EVERYONE ELSE IS JUST A SIMPLE PEASANT.
Bonus Picture:

. How can I even begin to hold all these bots?
