Thread: crafting macro for grinding. WILL WORK EVEN IF YOUR /nextcraftingstage SEEMS TO DO NOTHING

Ok, I just started playing a while ago, I wouldn't be surpirsed if there was a better crafting macro available but I couldn't find one easily. A lot of people have a problem with the command /nextcraftingstage (and all it's variants) not working, it seems to do nothing. It looks like it is doing nothing because when you type it in, you're stuck at the insert resources and if you press assemble after you type the command, you get an error. The command really does go to the next crafting stage, it just leaves the visual at the resource part.


This macro will have you making liquid suspensions, it's best to use that or either biological effects packs or the chem release mech. What you need to do it go to a pane that you don't use and expand it to two rows, put 6 crafting tools on the bottom(I think this is enough, you might need more), starting from the left. Now, create 6 macros, C1,C2 all the way to C6. This script will create liquid suspensions. I'm not sure, but if the command /nextcraftingstage works for you, then this script might not work for you.


forC1, put this in:


/ui action toolbarSlot12

/sel 07

/pause 3

/nextC

/nextC

/createP practice no item

/createP practice no item

/pause 1

/macro C2


In C2 put this:



/ui action toolbarSlot13

/sel 07

/pause 3

/nextC

/nextC

/createP practice no item

/createP practice no item

/pause 1

/macro C3


C3:



/ui action toolbarSlot14

/sel 07

/pause 3

/nextC

/nextC

/createP practice no item

/createP practice no item

/pause 1

/macro C4


C4:



/ui action toolbarSlot15

/sel 07

/pause 3

/nextC

/nextC

/createP practice no item

/createP practice no item

/pause 1

/macro C5


C5



/ui action toolbarSlot16

/sel 07

/pause 3

/nextC

/nextC

/createP practice no item

/createP practice no item

/pause 1

/macro C6


C6



/ui action toolbarSlot17

/sel 07

/pause 3

/nextC

/nextC

/createP practice no item

/createP practice no item

/pause 1

/macro C1


Now bring the macro C1 to the first slot in the first row of your tool bar, and click it, it will open the first crafting tool, you have 3 seconds to put in the resources and it will finish the rest of it very quick and then auto launch the next crafting tool.One crafting toolwhole process shouldtake about 5-6 seconds.


This script will work if your /nextcraftingstage seems like it does nothing, it's just a visual error your getting. If your /nextcraftingstage looks like it is doing nothing, then YOU MUST HAVE /createP practice no item TWICE.



Oh and one more thing. Have you guys ever seen those sigs that are lines of text and look like they are a part of the post?

it's to make it simple, it runs 6 crafting tools at once. You could do it with an alias but this is a lot easier. Anyhow, you can easily grind the crafting tree of doc in a few hours with this.

6 macro's easy? Just combine all 6 macro's...add a few pauses and repeat. Thats easy.

the extra /next crafting i used in my macro was put in place to skip the experimentation stage if someone was to run by with a crafting driod or you happened to be near a crafting station. Without it I would still craft but get no XP at all, (learnt after a friend pulled a driod out while i was grinding and after about 20 mins realised I was wasting my time)

I think this is what your getting at, but maybeI am wrong

hooolllldddd up here.

Use 2 of these and call me in the morning. You want to produce something that requires a droid out? Add another /nextcraftingstage; to each pair and you're done.

/ui action toolbarSlot04;
/selectDraftSchematic 31;
/pause 4;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot05;
/selectDraftSchematic 31;
/pause 4;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot06;
/selectDraftSchematic 31;
/pause 4;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;

Macro's seem to have a finite lenght and so a 6 or 7 station macro doesnt work due to the number of lines.


I split my macro into a 4 stage and a 3 stage but i dont loop my macro back to the start. It gives me time to chat or rest my fingers etc and pressing 1 key every 40 seconds or so isnt that tedious.

Ill why do you have all those extra pauses in there?



here is what i used:



/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/select 24;
/pause 4;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot13;



this is using the tool in F1 and the macro for the tool in ShiftF1 is the last ui action command so as my second macro would look like this:



/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/select 24;
/pause 4;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot14;



You might need to add another second to each of the pauses if you have a poor connection but this is the fastest way to wright it...I have seen others with pauses all over for no reason. Wen i ground out doc i had 7 tools going at once and finished an item every 8 seconds or so.



Type /dump to end this if you loop it (and i dont know why you wouldent)

Actually, ours are just about the same. The macro I use has 3 crafting sessions per macro and loops back and forth between the first and second macro. I imagine I could have simplified it a bit by having just one session per macro.

The core of the grinding macro I use is here. It's in essence, the same as yours.

/ui action toolbarSlot06;
/selectDraftSchematic 31;
/pause 4;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
/pause 1;

lol no worries, there are so many different ways to make a good macro. That is one that I found a while back on the weaponsmith forums. I made some minor modifications to it but for the most part, it's the same one.
