I found the bots had gotten stuck in a loop, so I've updated that to fix it.
Also, I've added code to make them play independently throughout the day, rather than all in a burst, and I've made it so it will recalculate the playtimes any time the standard deviation of nextplays is less than 18 turns; in other words, it tries to maintain a semi-decent distribution throughout the day.
I've additionally added a "price-tolerance" factor so that bots won't just buy up to $9999 tech; they will individually have caps between 2333 and 5250, or something like that ($3500 * 1.5, $3500 / 1.5). We shall see how that works.
