I believe that the bio-engineer board had the most recent good macro post. Basically, the macro opens the tool, selects the schematic, pauses 5 seconds, finishes the prototype in practice mode (woohoo!) and start the next macro. I chain 5 together to create 5 advanced BECs in about 35 seconds.

Here's the bio-engineer thread...

The only problem is their is no way to use practice with macros unless you use the 1/2 macro which just opens the tool and the schematic (you still have to load and hit return 5 times). If you do ythe full macro (with the /createPrototype) it also actaully creates an item. Deleting them slows you down.

I actaully found a way to get 324xp per minute (roughly) without having anything left over at the end. I use the full macros to create all the subcompoents for 2 wound pack B's, then create the wound packs with the 1/2 macro (where it just opens up the tool and schematic) load the items. and hit return 5 times. (and get practice). It takes just over 1 min for to make 2 wound packs. Works pretty nice. No need to remove things from the inventory.

meyer,

Noticed you said you had to hit enter 5 times to close out the crafting session in practice mode. Just wanted to mention you can cut out 2 of those enters by changing a checkbox in the options screen. There should be a checkbox that mentions crafting confirmation, not sure if checked means they're enabled or disabled but you want them disabled. I forget which menu it's under exactly since I checked it off a long time ago but most likely it's under UI or Misc. This will keep the "Are you sure?" type boxes from popping up during crafting and save you a couple keystrokes.

Why should someone spend the time writing out a 60+ line postteaching you how to macro when you can't even take the time to do a search or follow a link?

Sorry about spam posts, using a work PC and it freaked out when I quoted a post. Forgive it, it's only a 133 Pentium.

I have a small macro that i just started using. All it does is open the tool then bring up the adv bio controller on the big list. Then it waits 30 secs for me to hit enter and then double click the resources, hit enter a few times. Experiment, hit enter a few more times. Then it goes to the next crafting tool. You can adjust the pause times depending on how fast your computer goes and how fast you can click the resources and experiment. You can skip experimenting all together if you want.

/ui action toolbarSlot00; (the first space on the hotkey row, put your tool here)

/draw schematic 01; (You look in your datapad and count how many schematics from left to right until you get to the one you want. Also it is only schematics that this tool uses so dont count stuff like weapons or camps schematics)

/pause 30;

then it stays the same only the slot number changes. i have 4 tools so i have slot 00-03

/ui action toolbarSlot01 etc etc etc

Also for easy med xp gets your friends or your pets diseased and healtheir wounds.Bribing a combat medic is best but you can always go to endor and get them diseased by mantigrues or kill them repeatedly. I found that high quality woundkit b's give more xp than the crappy ones I was making ( I started using adv components.)

Hope this helps someone. I searched all night for macro ideas and this was the best I found.Unfortunately I cant find one that you can do afk

The practice mode thing was in another recent thread...

Everywhere where you would normally do "/createPrototype" do "/createPrototype practice no item" instead

for those of you who say search.. if you don't know the appropriate keywords to search for you often get 100 threads that all have people yelling "do a search" so don't be so hard on the guy.

It is hard to rent out a factory because you can't trade schimatics so you have to be on admin to get yours in there. A factory costs 50k about so you have to have someone trust you to put you on admin.

I would save up some money, find a good doc friends and go in on it together.

I bought mine and now ckilla and I are working a partnership together.

... and on top of that how hard is it to say:


/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/select 3;
/pause 4;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;

Change the toolbarSlot to match where you have your crafting tool, the number after the /select is the schematic you want- its different for everyone so try it by hand til ya find what you want, and change the number after the /pause to however long you feel it will take you to doubleclick the resources.

When I set up that macro, I get to the point where I select the resources but it pops up with "crafting session ended" messages (2 of them at the same time). . .what can I be doing wrong?

I was getting that msg too.NowI hit the hotkey manually. It pops up and adv bio is the first thing so I just hit enter, click the two resources, then hit enter until I am done. Its fast and easy. Macros confuse me. Make sure its pratice mode and move all your boxes so whenever you have to click its all near the same part of your screen. I only have to click the resources and then click the experiment bars. I noticed if i hit enter too much that it sometimes freezes at the experiment screen and I have to start over.I have 1000 more adv bec to make till i master grinding.. er i mean doctor crafting.

Here's the macro:

/ui action toolbalSlot12
/pause 1
/selectdraftschematic 0
/pause 5
/next;
/next;
/createprototype pratice no item;
/createprototype pratice no item;

Walk-hrough:

/ui action toolbalSlot12
This activate the food & chem crafting tool, which you should have hotkeyed in your toolbar (positions 00-11 is top row, 12-23 is bottom row).

/pause 1
This compensates for lag issues when starting the crafting session.

/selectdraftschematic 0
The argument is personal. Different numbers selects different schematics. The number is the order in which you uploaded the schematic (learnt it) in your datapad (separate series for each type of crafting tool)

/pause 5
During this pause you can double-click your resources to upload them. Different schematics require different values. (eg for me BEC=3s and StimB=7s).

/next;
/next;
...proceed through the crafting session.

/createprototype pratice no item;
/createprototype pratice no item;
...creates the item. Remove the "practice no item" part if you do not do it for grinding. You'll miss the 5% extra XP but you'll end up with the actual items crafted.

Note:
I have four macros like this F1-F4, one for BEC, one for LS, one for CRC, and one for StimB. It's really fast for me to craft StimB's this way. I usually sit down by the bazaar when I do this and whenever my inventory is filled up I put up the StimB's for 400c each. This way I can earn my living while grinding

Happy grinding!
