Let a bot run these crypts

Farming for Skillful Engineer? Tick these crypts under Explore specific crypts only and the bot sends your captains to them and nothing else. 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.
