Introducing Shared Collections

What is a Shared Collection?

Shared Collection allows you to manage your inventory by only buying a "certain amount" of a single card amongst all your bots. Bots in the same group buy and trade cards as if they have one big collection instead of smaller individual collections. Bots sharing the collections "share their collections", they are synched in real time with each other and they always know what the other bots have and want.

This is very useful for botters with multiple bots. You can now set your bots in groups that will share their inventories, the same way that you can have a group of bots share the credits. This will take each bots individual inventory and add them up for a complete shared inventory. The is useful because you can limit the amount of cards you purchase, especially those slow movers.





Example: 
If you run 4 bots and you want to purchase 12 of a certain card across all the bot, here is how you could set up personalprices.txt file (you can also set the amount in the Collection tab).

Bot A =>  M14;Shock;0.05;0.09;0.02;0.03;4;0
Bot B =>  M14;Shock;0.05;0.09;0.02;0.03;4;0
Bot C =>  M14;Shock;0.05;0.09;0.02;0.03;4;0
Bot D =>  M14;Shock;0.05;0.09;0.02;0.03;0;0


Each bot will purchase up to 12 until the respected shared inventory amount is acquired, making sure you do not end up with more 12x "Shocks".

Please note that you don't need to change the individual bot settings, you just need to group them on the Online Control Panel. Since bots could end up with unbalanced stocks (for example bot A owning 12 while bot B 0), you may also want to automatically transfer the cards using the "Balance" mode.
