Bot Rig Recommendations Help

[johnwu]

Hey all,

What are your recommendations for a bot rig build?

For say, small-level botting, in the range of 5-20 bots. For this you could just get a ton of used/cheap laptops or desktops and run at least one instance on the main computer, and then one on a virtual machine? How would you get VPN's for each one? (Paid vpn is fine)

And then what would you recommend for large scale botting, in the range of 50+ bots?

I've been doing a bit of research on it, and it seems like doing a local build (physical desktops/laptops) would be the best bet. RS isn't that resource heavy. How many instances of RS do you think you could run on a machine, and would that be on VM's or how would you implement it? Any thoughts on reducing the electricity cost? Would it be better to simply buy and implement a large server?

So, in conclusion, how would you go about starting a small-level bot farm (What hardware you would use, etc), and then any differences vs a large level farm.

Any advice or input is appreciated.

What's your approximate budget.

Hi Yohojo,

Would prefer to start small, then increase once success is seen. Do you think you could make recommendation for a smaller setup, and then what to do to expand?

Of course, if you think investing a larger amount upfront is optimal, i'm open to all suggestions.

Budget does not matter provided that the build is cost efficient for the number of bots.

I dont think you really need anything super special to run 07 at low detail. I bought a shit laptop off of craigslist and it runs 5 bots easily.

Rs07 doesn't need anything good to be run smoothly. Just make sure your .java scripts are up to date.
