I used the macro last night to grind out my last box to MDE.
It even worked at my crafting station with the third nextCraftingStage line.
There's no need for more than four tools/macros, because using pause 5 (I am not the world's best double clicker); the first usually is ready by the time you finish with the fourth. So, only use five if you use a lower pause than 5, I guess. ![]()
There is an issue since last patch where xp monitor does not reflect your real XP until you login again... at least that's what Ive read in the Artisan forum...

MACRO TIP: If you have the toolbar real estate and dont mind flooding your homemade macro screen with a bunch of similair macros, here's a good tip. Have 5 crafting tools. Put 1 in toolbarSlot 1 of toolBarPane 1, put another in toolbarSlot 1 of toolBarPane 2, another in slot 1 of pane 3... etc... Use your regular macros everyone above describes. But make 5 variations of it. I label mine 'craft1', 'craft2', craft3', etc... I put the craft macro in slot 0, and the tool in slot 1, as described above... hit F1 to start craft1 macro, it goes through the motions, and gets all the way up to where you select resources... the catch is, the last command craft1 does is advance to the next toolbarPane. I double click my resources, and then just hit F1 again, which now is on pane2 and in slot0 is macro 'craft2'. Craft2 does what craft1 does, all the way to resource selection, and ups to pane3... This allows you to simply keep hitting the same button over and over (F1) while each time having it use a different crafting tool... But as I said, it takes alot of toolbarslots, and alot of macros (dunno if there is a limit).
Another trick, is to make a macro called 'selectschematic'. Place that macro in slot 2, next to the crafting tool. Put this macro in every pane. Then in the 'craftX' macros, just call 'toolbarSlot2' to run that schematic macro. Beauty of that is you only have to change that one macro to grind new schematics. You can also incorporate similair macros as the 'selectschematic' for controlling pauses between stages.
Hope i explained this well, if not, drop me a message and I will try to write up a better doc for it.
The frame will yield you 440xp in non-practice mode. Only requires steel and fiberplast, both can always easily be found.
A Note on Resource Use:
Once you have advanced droid blueprints and can make the advanced frame, you need 1,113,600 more droid experience points to hit master.
An advanced droid frame gives 460 experience points,483 in practice mode, and takes 150 units of steel and 70 units of fiberplast to make.
You need to craft 2306 advanced drod frames in practice mode to get the experience needed.
This means you wil burn 345,900 units of steel, and 161,420 units of fiberplact after you hit advanced droid blueprints.
