Go to the bottom of the page where it says search, and search for Survival Macro, or Camping Macro.

Hi all
Sorry if this is a dumb question...
I am a novice DE and I would be very happy if someone could write down a macro for creating mice droids, so I dont have to drag the ressources into the slots everytime. Is it possible to set this command to loop?
Thanks in advance

There's no way to macro loading resources into your schematic.
However, you don't have to drag them, you can just double click on the resources, and they'll fill up the appropriate boxes.

OK, my entry got eaten. Let's try that again, shall we?
I came up with a good macro for keeping the mask scent up pretty much 24/7. I'm sure others have done this, I just haven't seen it. Good for when you're sitting in your camp crafting near areas where aggressive creatures are lurking.
/maskscent;
/pause 122;
/ui action toolbarSlot[xx];
Make the [xx] the slot number (without the [ ]) that you're going to put the macro. For example, if you're putting your macro in F1, it should be toolbarSlot00.
The macro starts Mask Scent, pauses 122 seconds (two minutes for Mask Scent, two seconds extra to make sure I don't overlap) and then the slot keys itself again.
Keep in mind, though, that if a creature breaks Mask Scent, you'll need to use /dump, otherwise the timer continues and if you hit the macro again it'll just cause all sorts of problems. My Mask Scent was going on and off at all odd times and when I realized I needed to use /dump I had something like five timed processes going at once.
Hope that helps!

I use this macro when surveying for the most concentrated source:
/dismount;
/pause 1;
/survey;
/pause 1;
/mount
/pause 1;
/survey;
/pause 1;
/mount

Some points on crafting macros:
- Do NOT reorganize the schematics in the datapad. Count them from when you first open it after loggin in.
- Only count the schematics that can be used by the crafting tool you are using.
- Understand that the numbers may change depending on if you are standing in front of a crafting station or not.

Its not that I cant find the number its that changing the number doesn’t change the schematic that it selects

If you set the number to 1 or 0 does it change the schematic? Usually if you are getting the same schematic but using different numbers then the numbers you are using are too high, and the schematic you're getting is the last one for that tool.
