Hello all, i am just making a tool which is good for gathering of large numbers of items, its use is simple as i will describe it below:
If you need large number of ore for example but dont want to spend few minutes waiting then mine more ore and then wait again, you can do some secondary activity. For example watch TV or do some other internet work or whatever you want. Problem is that you might forget about gathering and so wait like 5 mins instead of two. Or you might checkthe game too frequently which is boring especially when you run in fullscreen mode.
I offer solution:
1)you will run this tool
2)you will cut tree / collect junk/electronic parts / gather fruit / collect fiber or mine some rocks
3)you can keep it on you or give it to your brahmin / slave or any follower
4) you use Alt + Tab to switch from game
5) in tool you choose what you gathered and click "GO" button
then timer in tool will start running, tool is partially transparent and its allways on top so you can easily check status of your cooldown
when timer closes to 0 (below 30 secs) it will start flashing red color to notify you to check ingame cooldown which is allways smaller (added delay so its not true anymore) than the one in tool (because it started before you clicked reset button)
If you would miss the red color it will notify you with message box when timer gets to zero.
you can repeat the action as long as you want
So this tool can save your time if you need large amounts of gatherings, it was originally made for my own use, but i found it very good that i can share it with you. I only have one problem, i need to check and get some cooldowns so if you want the tool just correct me and then it will be a matter of minutes.
So far i know:
Mineral 360 secs
Iron 360 secs
Electronic parts 195 secs
Fiber 150 secs
Fruit 360 secs
junk 150
I miss:
Wood choping cooldown
herbs cooldown
anything else?

FO Collector 1.2enjoy its new ability to focus on game! now much more usefull than ever before (dont forget to set it in config, its not default)
http://www.mediafire.com/?wmfn0mrgfjdchanges / bugfixes:
Previously when you added item and tried to run it after it, it thrown error. But it worked after app restarted. This has been fixed that you can now run item immediatelly after adding it and closing config screen.
You can delete items with config interface.
You can set the program that when timer ends, the game gains focus.
Time at which it starts blinking now depends on delay, so now its 30secs + delayData has been split into two files options.dat which you shouldnt edit yourself and items.txt which contains ONLY items now
so the items.txt is this:
item
time
item
time
and so on...

Fo Collector V1.1 finished (18kb):
http://www.mediafire.com/?jwyjtzzvwjjNow you are able to add items via config interface
also added delay which has default value 5 secs
you can change delay in config interface too
delay can have negative value if you wish
items are saved in file items.txt, so they are loaded on startup and you dont need to enter them over and over again
If you want to delete or rearrange items you have to edit the text file, but be carefull to edit it properly
items.txt should look like this:
1st line has number and its value is delay
2nd is first item
3rd is first item´s time
4th line is second item
5th line is second item´s time
and so on, so be carefull to not add some letters into line with number
if you want to delete item you have to delete line with its name AND its time
So i think everything is clear now, for basic users config interface should be enought, if you get some unhandled exceptions please write me about them, but i think everything is handled now.
And at first run, program will say you miss items.txt, itr allright program will make it itself so dont worry.
Please tell me what you think now
Some images to clear things out:
