All,

There are several macro's out there to grind, but I've not seen one posted recently on setting up Harvesters or other structers. This is a macro I wrote to take some of the pain out of the process.

NOTE: [] Indicate text you should add, don't include the []'s. /* */ are comments, edit them out if you Cut and Paste.

/setpermission admin [Name]; /* This is just to allow my alt access */
/paymaintenance 15200; /* Maintenance for Heavy for a 7 Day run */
/addpower 12600; /* Ditto, only power */
/nameStructure [Name]; /* Love this. You can include color! */
/pause 2; /* Just to give everything a chance to run */
/structurestatus; /* Make certain everything is ready to roll */

This will work on all structures, including houses/factories. To the best of my knowledge there is no macro to setup resource and to turn the harvester on. If anyone has these commands, I would love to know about them!

Enjoy!

NOTE: /pay is not currently working. You may want to leave it in the macro as we can hope it will be fixed at some later date.

I did have the pay maintenace and add power commands in a macro but what i would REALLY REALLY love is a macro that would also permit me to retrieve the resource...

Like sometimes i have 60+ harvesters running and these 3 commands would make my life a real charm...anyone????

To the best of my knowledge, there are no commands to:

• Select a resource
  
• Turn harvester on
  
• Empty a harvester
  
• Turn a harvester off
  

These commands exist in some form, after all the GUI is sending something to the server, I just don't know what.

You can do this with an alias actually, I have several set up. For example:

/alias admin /setpermission admin

then I would type in:

/admin Tiva

Others I've done are:

/alias status /structureStatus
/alias maint /payMaintenance
/alias power /addPower

As you can tell, these are same commands as the macro contains. I'm also the king of mistells and hate sending replies to the wrong person, so I create aliases to send messages to people I chat with frequently in game. For example:

/alias tom /t tom

Type: /tom Wazzup dude!

Will result in the following command:

/t tom Wazzup dude!

ADDENDUM: If Tom is on another server, say Intrepid:

/alias tom /t intrepid.tom

This works in email as well, simply add the server. in front of the recipient.

I love aliases. These are great to use for chat in channels too. Imagine you are using the BIGWORDYTITLEYOUWOULDHATETOTYPE channel. Having the channel on top can result in a lot of mistells, so just add it to spacial window (or any other), and create an alias. For example:

/alias bw /BIGWORDYTITLEYOUWOULDHATETOTYPE

Now you can participate in the conversation by just typing:

/bw Hello Peeps!

I make it a macro, only have to type it once anyway.

In the case of add power and add maintence there short versions are /pay and /addp so you might save yourself an entry in your alias file by using the shorter version.

And im doing the sale with aliases and cross server chat. I had someone hit from farstar. Which is actually europe-farstar and needs the correct captialization. So i just created a /layz alias and it made easier.

Note there is a resource command. No one has made it work. But heres the whole list.

From the architect forums

Q-3.8. What commands are used to operate a harvester?

A-3.8. These are the only commands that appear to be working at this time

/stru - Show status of harvester

/pay xx - Add xx maintenance to harvester

/addp xx - Add xx Power - Leave off amount for dialog

/setPermission [admin | hopper] [name] - add [name] to admin/hopper or remove them if currently on the list

/harvesterDeactivate - turn off harvester

/harvesterActivate - turn on harvester

/name [name] - will change the name of the structure to [name]

/destroystructure - will initiate the prompts to confirm and then redeed the harvester

/harvesterSelectResource - ???? (if anyone gets this to work, please let me know.)
