Start, pause, stop, delete
Everything you can do to a bot once it exists, and what each action actually means for the work in progress.
The four states
- Running — signed into Steam and working on its module.
- Paused — still signed in, but not playing anything. Resuming picks up exactly where it left off.
- Stopped — signed out of Steam entirely. Starting again means a fresh sign-in, which may ask for a Steam Guard code.
- Offline — it was running and lost the connection. Not something you chose; see My bot went offline.
Pause or stop?
Use pause when you want to play on that account yourself for an hour. The bot stays signed in and holds its place; resume when you are done.
Use stop when you are finished with it for a while, or when you want to change the account's password or secrets. Stopping releases the Steam session cleanly.
Neither loses progress. Cards already collected are on the account, and the farming queue is rebuilt from Steam on the next start.
Changing what a bot does
Assign a different module from the bot's card on the Dashboard. The switch takes effect immediately — the bot stops the old job and begins the new one. You do not need to stop it first.
Deleting a bot
Deleting removes the bot's configuration from the platform: its name, the stored credentials, and the module assignment. The Steam account itself is untouched, and everything already collected stays on it.
There is no restore. If you delete a bot and want it back, you add it again from scratch, including the login details and any secrets. Deleting also frees the slot, so if you are at your package's bot limit this is how you make room.
Running out of slots
Each package allows a set number of bots. When you are at the limit, adding another is refused until you either delete one or move to a larger package. The Dashboard shows how many of your slots are in use.
