I know it's silly but i figured anyone else that's addicted to this game would enjoy this simple program using Arduino and servo.
You have to use the tractor (generously modified) and the moon level. Any other vehicle is inconsistent and can get stuck in a 'no return to menu' mode where it doesn't generate much points. with the tractor you can generate 10,000,000 points overnight. Beware, the points spend quick!
Stylus:
stylus work because they are conductive and conduct through your skin. there are not many stylus that work by themselves (eg. ones that work when you have big winter hand gloves on). i used some black ESD electrically conductive foam, inserted a piece of mag wire with some length and it seemed to give it enough capacitance similar to human body (Remember your finger is attached to this huge body of capacitance). i also soldered on an alligator clip, at first i attached it to the negative lead of a 9v it seemed to help emulate some capacitance body but i found out later just the mag wire (2-3 inches) with the alligator clip floating on the end worked consistently. You can also use carrots or some fruits/veggies.
