TF2 Autocrafting

This may be late to the party, but I haven't cleaned out my Idle accounts in quite some time. The daunting task of loading each account up, doing multiple trades with an autocraft bot put me off. So much so I went past the 200 item 'limit' Steam Item Manager had for autocrafting. (What I mean by that is, the program will crash or take several hours when your inventory is too large)

Previously I would use one of two methods to craft my items:
* Find a scrap bot, and meticilously trade for each account. (Taking 2-3 trades per account)
* Do it manually. (Normally while watching TV)
* Hope I don't hit the magic limit in SIM and use that to cut half my workload down.

So I decided to load up SIM on a laptop and let it run on a few accounts for the next few days, low and behold there was an update! 

Some new features it added that I care about for idling:
* Allow Autocraft for non-duplicate items.
* Actually autocrafts to refined
* Autocrafts in aprox 2-3 seconds for a 1000 item backpack.

All I can say is... Nice. Thank you for updating and making the tool usable. =)
