A large community has been playing this for a long time now – 111+111 or 112 restarts. It was devised by the respected Vladimir. It’s a very effective strategy. If you encounter something unfavorable early on, go for 1-1-1. You can then take 1-1-1-1, and if things are going well on the first day but poorly on the second, take 1-1-2, but you won’t have as many resources left. It’s a genuinely effective strategy. I’ve been playing like this for about two years, and many well-known players do the same. It saves a significant amount of time.
P.S. I am, of course, against legalizing auto-farming. That would turn it into something akin to anti-hero gameplay.
I also support this strategy; it definitely saves an hour or two.
