I think my feedback on this concept in general has been given enough times in other threads so I'll just echo one particular part related to the above. This is the part I disagree with.
Don't make the minigames be 'Timing/Precision/Patience' -> Reward.
Botted. 100%. (For those who don't know me well, I am not saying I will bot it, only speaking to my experience because I know how).
If you want to avoid or neuter botting, make it 'Control', 'Semi-Complex Risk management', 'Teamwork'. it's not that people won't bot these, it's that they will bot them mostly for 'nearly pointless levels of mass production', which one
can
actually disincentivize through economy design.
If it takes longer to reconfigure the bot to do it perfectly because your goal parameters changed than to just do it yourself 2-3 times, you'll see less botting.
