Let a bot run these crypts

Tick Dwarven, Desert under Explore specific crypts only and the bot farms just those. TB Crypt Auto-Explorer is a Chrome extension that runs the crypt loop for you: it sets the Watchtower filter, sends Carter (or three captains at once), speeds up the march with your own speedups and sends him out again the moment he's home. It never buys Tar or anything else.
