    So I know that some macros, easing gameplay and saving time are allowed. I also know that any macro that is "auto-farming" is not allowed.

    As I see it, auto-farming is defined as a process that you set, leave, and you come back to money.

    Would the following be allowed:

    1. A script which auto-plants, assuming that this script is limited such that it needs to be rerun every ~5 mins or so.
    - It would not plant any large area
    - It would not harvest, this would be done manually, so it does not generate $$

    2. A script which only affects movement (i.e. strafing)
    - This script would not plant anything, so the user's input would be required 100% of the time
    - It would simply save my left hand from pushing the same pattern of directional keys
    - It is not generating anything, as it is simply movement and all "farming" action is taking by the user, thereby not affecting the economy in any way since the amount of time put in to generate $$ is exactly the same.

    I don't think the second would be as the user has to be actively controlling the game still. Not like set to go so far turn and continue etc., just a strait forward walk that has to be toggled every time they finish a single line.

    These 2 scripts/situations are both illegal.

    Well there you have it I guess, thanks Kuke for confirming.
