 ====== Auto Tools ======
+The Auto Tools is a group of tools to make commonly done tasks done in bulk quicker. We've carried over many of these tools from the game's early development. And some have been made obsolete by other features in the game, such as the Auto Assistants.  Nonetheless, others you may find helpful.

 | 10. Idle All Factories | Use the Idle All Factories tool to shut down all your factories in the game. This tool will set all model's production lines to 0 and furlough all factory employees. | |
 | 11. Idle All Branches | Use the Idle All Branches tool to stop selling all vehicles in your branches. This tool will set all model's prices to 0 and furlough all branch employees. | |
-| 12. Recondition | | |
+| 12. Recondition | Over time your factories and branches wear out. The game will often notify you when your location's wear reaches the point it affects your operations. If you're not using the Auto Recondition system, you can use this Recondition tool to recondition all your factories and branches in the game. | |

+====== Auto Assistants ======
+The Auto Assistance is found in the Auto Tools Mega Menu. We consider this a separate system since most of them enables the AI to manage parts of the game for you.

+  - **Auto Hire =>** Automatically fills any vacant employment positions for you.
+  - **Auto Wage =>** Automatically increases or decreases wages to the average for that location. You can use the Auto Wage Margin tool to adjust the payout amounts as a percentage of the average.
+  - **Auto Sell =>** Assigns new vehicle designs and prices to all your branches automatically. It also assigns all vehicles for sale at new branches. Please note, any price changes you make will override the Auto Sell price. The Auto Sell system will override your existing prices when you purchase or take over another company. And anytime you toggle the Auto Sell setting on.
+  - **Auto Produce =>** Automatically manages production lines for your entire company. The system locks shipping to global, and it spreads production around your various factories. This system does not aim to lower transportation costs, nor does it factor transportation costs in assigning production lines.
+  - **Auto Recondition =>** Automatically reconditions factories and branches when they become worn out.
+  - **Disable Platform Sharing =>** Disables independent companies you own from being able to use your designs.
+  - **Auto Union =>** Automatically approves benefit requests from employee unions, and it will take care of any strike demands.
+  - **Auto Market =>** Adjust the marketing budget for the company. The auto market system will spend up to 10% of your positive cash flow each month.
+  - **Bid On Bankrupt Companies =>** Shows an action memo anytime a bankrupt company is available for a buyout, assuming you have enough funds to purchase it. Please note, not all bankrupt companies are available to bid on because debt holders and largest stock holders have first priority.
+  - **Ship All Required Vehicle Contracted =>** Ship any excess inventory to contracts after meeting the minimum monthly orders.
