Steam Achievements Booster

ASF-AchievementsBooster is a plugin for ArchiSteamFarm that automatically unlocks steam game achievements.

Features

• Automatically unlock achievements while farming cards with ASF.
• Automatically unlock achievements when ASF actively plays games in the GamesPlayedWhileIdle list.
• Automatically play games and unlock achievements (if ASF is not farming cards and GamesPlayedWhileIdle is empty).

Installation

1. Download the AchievementsBooster.zip archive file from the latest release.
2. Extract the archive into the plugins folder inside your ArchiSteamFarm directory.
3. Configure the plugin properties in the ASF.json file (optional).
4. Restart ArchiSteamFarm (or start it if it's not running).
5. Start the boosting process for bots via commands (if you haven't set up the auto-start configuration).

Configuration

Note: By default, AchievementsBooster will not start automatically unless you configure it to auto-start for specific bots or run it from the command line.

Global configuration

The AchievementsBooster plugin global configuration has the following structure, which is located within ASF.json.

{
  "AchievementsBooster": {
    "AutoStartBots": [],
    "MaxConcurrentlyBoostingApps": 1,
    "MinBoostInterval": 30,
    "MaxBoostInterval": 60,
    "BoostDurationPerApp": 600,
    "BoostRestTimePerApp": 600,
    "RestTimePerDay": 0,
    "BoostHoursWhenIdle": false,
    "RestrictAppWithVAC": true,
    "RestrictAppWithDLC": true,
    "RestrictDevelopers": [],
    "RestrictPublishers": [],
    "UnrestrictedApps": [],
    "Blacklist": []
  }
}

Example: ASF.json

{
  "Blacklist": [ 300, 440, 550, 570, 730 ],
  "FarmingDelay": 20,
  "GiftsLimiterDelay": 2,
  "IdleFarmingPeriod": 12,
  "InventoryLimiterDelay": 5,
  "WebLimiterDelay": 500,
  "AchievementsBooster": {
    "AutoStartBots": [ "me", "bot" ],
    "MaxConcurrentlyBoostingApps": 1,
    "MinBoostInterval": 22,
    "MaxBoostInterval": 66,
    "BoostDurationPerApp": 300,
    "BoostRestTimePerApp": 300,
    "RestTimePerDay": 0,
    "BoostHoursWhenIdle": true,
    "RestrictAppWithVAC": true,
    "RestrictAppWithDLC": true,
    "RestrictDevelopers": [ "Valve" ],
    "RestrictPublishers": [ "Valve" ],
    "UnrestrictedApps": [],
    "Blacklist": [ 221380, 813780, 933110, 1017900, 1466860 ]
  }
}

Explanation

Configuration	Type	Default	Range	Description
AutoStartBots	List String			List of bots that automatically start boosting achievements.
MaxConcurrentlyBoostingApps	Number	1	1-32	Number of applications boosting at the same time.
MinBoostInterval	Number	30	1-255	The minimum time interval between boosts. This is the minimum time interval between two achievement unlocks. Unit: minutes.
MaxBoostInterval	Number	60	1-255	The maximum time interval between boosts. This is the maximum time interval between two achievement unlocks. Unit: minutes.
BoostDurationPerApp	Number	600	0-30000	Maximum continuous boosting time for each application. If this duration is exceeded, the plugin will add the application to the resting list and switch to boosting another application. Set the value to 0 if you want to continuously boost an application until all its achievements are unlocked. Unit: minutes.
BoostRestTimePerApp	Number	600	0-30000	Resting time for each application. Unit: minutes.
RestTimePerDay	Number	0	0-600	The duration during which the plugin does not boost any application. Just like when you go to sleep and stop playing games. Unit: minutes.
BoostHoursWhenIdle	Boolean	false		If the value is true, the plugin will automatically boost hours for all random applications (ignoring the blacklist) when there are no achievements to unlock.
RestrictAppWithVAC	Boolean	true		If the value is true, plugin will skip unlocking achievements for applications with VAC.
RestrictAppWithDLC	Boolean	true		Some achievements are tied to specific DLCs. If you don't own the DLC, unlocking these achievements might not be appropriate. Set the value to true to skip boosting for applications with DLCs, or set it to false to unlock all achievements regardless.
RestrictDevelopers	List String			You may not want to boost certain applications developed by a specific developer. Enter the developer's name in this list, and the plugin will skip boosting any applications by that developer.
RestrictPublishers	List String			Similar to RestrictDevelopers, but this list is for publishers.
UnrestrictedApps	List Number			A list of app IDs that will not be subject to the above restrictions.
Blacklist	List Number			List of appIDs that the plugin will skip boosting achievements.

Bot-specific configuration

In addition to the global configuration in ASF.json, AchievementsBooster supports bot-specific configuration, which can be defined in the bot’s JSON file.
This allows each bot to have its own separate boosting settings.

{
  "AchievementsBooster": {
    "AutoStart": null,
    "MaxConcurrentlyBoostingApps": null,
    "MinBoostInterval": null,
    "MaxBoostInterval": null,
    "BoostDurationPerApp": null,
    "BoostRestTimePerApp": null,
    "RestTimePerDay": null,
    "BoostHoursWhenIdle": null,
    "RestrictAppWithVAC": null,
    "RestrictAppWithDLC": null,
    "RestrictDevelopers": null,
    "RestrictPublishers": null,
    "UnrestrictedApps": null,
    "Blacklist": null
  }
}

Example: Bot.json

{
  "Enabled": true,
  "HoursUntilCardDrops": 0,
  "LootableTypes": [ 1, 3, 5, 6 ],
  "SteamLogin": "username",
  "AchievementsBooster": {
    "AutoStart": true,
    "MaxConcurrentlyBoostingApps": 2,
    "MinBoostInterval": 11,
    "MaxBoostInterval": 22,
    "BoostDurationPerApp": 30,
    "BoostRestTimePerApp": 50,
    "RestTimePerDay": 6,
    "RestrictAppWithDLC": false,
    "Blacklist": [ 3224770, 881020, 2313020 ]
  }
}

How it works

By default, bot configuration values are null. The plugin will use the global configuration in that case. You only need to provide the values you want to customize for the bot. Each type of bot configuration uses the same data type as its corresponding global configuration.

a. The AutoStart configuration

• Type: boolean, default is null.
• Instead of adding the bot’s name to the global AutoStartBots list to enable automatic achievement boosting, you can set AutoStart to true in the bot-specific configuration (If you set it to false but the bot’s name is still in AutoStartBots, the bot will continue to start boosting automatically).

b. Primitive value configurations

• Configurations: MaxConcurrentlyBoostingApps, MinBoostInterval, MaxBoostInterval, BoostDurationPerApp, BoostRestTimePerApp, RestTimePerDay, BoostHoursWhenIdle, RestrictAppWithVAC, RestrictAppWithDLC
• If the bot has its own setting, it will use that value; otherwise, it will fall back to the global configuration.

c. List value configurations

• Configurations: Blacklist, UnrestrictedApps, RestrictDevelopers, RestrictPublishers
• If a value is set for the bot, it will be merged with the global configuration.
• Example: if the global Blacklist is [100, 200] and the bot has [300], the resulting list will be [100, 200, 300].
