ShouldResumeFarming indicates whether call to Resume() should start farming, which is used for example when account is marked as free to farm due to event. That event by default is triggered on ASF startup as well. At the same time, the prerequisite to start farming is having our cache ready at least for the bot that is about to start farming. This happens in OnBotLicenseList() which notified CardsFarmer about new games added once it finishes, which also triggers the farming. Previous behaviour resulted in a bit unwanted situation where CardsFarmer didn't bother waiting for cache to be ready, as the event about occupation triggered resume process, and that process due to true value started immediately. Changing default state of that value to false should suffice, as initial resume event won't cause the cards farming process to be started, and event about new games added already sets that flag back to true, so if cache being rebuilt happens before playing lock being released, Resume() should still trigger farming as wanted. Give yourself a pat on the back if you understood something from that.

Description
ASF is a C# application with primary purpose of farming Steam cards from multiple accounts simultaneously. Unlike Idle Master which works only for one account at given time, while requiring Steam client running in the background and launching additional processes imitating "game playing" status, ASF doesn't require any Steam client running in the background, doesn't launch any additional processes and is made to handle unlimited Steam accounts at once. In addition to that, it's meant to be run on servers or other desktop-less machines, and features full cross-OS support, which makes it possible to launch on any operating system with .NET Core runtime, such as Windows, Linux and OS X. ASF is possible thanks to gigantic amount of work done in marvelous SteamKit2 library.

Apart from farming Steam cards, which remains the primary focus, ASF includes bunch of features on its own, such as a possibility to use it as Steam authenticator or chat logger. In addition to that, ASF includes plugin system, thanks to which anybody can further extend it to his/her needs.
