Fast mode

Get your cards faster by automagically switching between simultaneous and individual idling (based on: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/idlemastery/discussions/0/1485487749771924917/)

Fast mode was developed to try and get the card drops as fast as possible, but how fast it is depends on your account status at Steam and the requirements the game developers have set for their game to drop cards. For some games you can get cards within 15 minutes, while others will require an hour or two, possibly three.

Previously you could not get card drops before reaching the limit of refundability at 2 hours of gameplay.

  • Fast mode: idle games simultaneously for 5 minutes, start each game individually for 5 seconds, and repeat until all cards have dropped. Read more on the wiki page
  • If your account require 2+ hours of gameplay (most likely if you have refunded games previously) it is best to run them simultaneously until that limit is reached and then switch to fast mode
  • Running games individually is mainly to avoid spamming game started notifications to your friends

Fast mode process

  1. Start by idling multiple games at once (maximum simultaneous at 30) for 5 minutes
  2. Stop the idling and close all running processes
  3. Load the badge page again to see how many new cards have been dropped
  4. Start idling one game at a time (still sticking to the maximum of the 30 games)
  5. Go back to simultaneous idling (start the process from the beginning)
