John can play only one instance
lets say john needs to get all combos of elements on screen AND need to make all combos of life, tmp, tmp2, tmp3, tmp4, pressue, heat, aheat, ect. with them?
And all of those can run at the same time in separate instances of the game, while John carries on with the stuff that CAN'T be automated in yet another instance
The whole of temperature, life and dcolor exploration can be automated, as can probably 90-95% of all possible combinations of element placement.
Technomancer: saving time on what, most of this is done with prop tool or the console. The only part where something like this would be useful is with the element experiments but a portable subframe thingamajink would be enought for a TAS-like player
Saving a huge amount of time would be a waste of time?
resicuts:in the 30 hours of experimenting with elements either all of them would be placed at once or John would make some sort of a mixer.
(and without counting layering)
what about placing every combination of elements on the screen? The max particle count is 235008 so there are 235008^231 possible combinations (life not counted).
And about ambient heat it would take john 2.7 minutes to go all the way from minimal ambient heat to the maximum ambient heat
