I have to be present for only a few moments and thank my engineering skills to hardwire my keyboard in a way that allows me to gather / craft with little to no effort.

I will detail instructions... but first here is an image so you can start to replicate at on your own keyboard.




There are two important steps to having an auto gathering keyboard. First you will need some cigarettes. I have all my function keys F1-F12 bound to ENTER (confirmation). When the cigarette has been smoked enough, it will drop ash on these keys and essentially play for me. It's very simple and works.

The second step is to grab yourself some tin foil, a potatoe, a bottle of water, and a bottle of gin. Hot wire the potatoe (wrapped in tin foil) to F1 key, then you will splice the wires putting the positive end into the h20 and the negative end into the gin. This is where some science happens which maybe too difficult to explain, however the theory is something like this. The positive ions from the gin will charge the wire in the potatoe and occasionally build up enough to send an eletrical volt to the keyboard (F1 key) which causes it to believe you had pushed this key down. Thus input is accepted and sent to your PC and hits the confirmation key. You will need to play with the levels of Gin in the bottle, but I have just over a liter of Gin and it causes the input signal every 7.3 seconds.

That's about the gist of it.. the hardest part is the initial setup. Once completed you will be able to farm and farm with no effort. Good luck and God's speed.
I can confirm that this works.
