Thread: macro question about something in FAQ
"One item I'd like to add is that it went much smother for me when I used 10 tools. First grind macro used 5 then after the last tool, I added a /pause 3; then next line it called the macro for the next 5 tools. It allowed me to have a litle more control over the process and I did not have them loop into each other. I tried using a larger 10 tool single macro and every time I'd log back on, the macro would get corrupted(I assume it was because of the number of keystrokes). So basically what I had was W/D/G crafting tools in slots 12-21 and the first macro in slot00, second in slot01.
/ui action toolbarSlot12;
/selectDraftSchematic ##;
/pause 5;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/pause 2;
repeat thur tool5 then change the last /pause 2; to /pause 3; then add line /ui action toolbarSlot01; which would start the second part of the 10 tool grind.. sencond grind is a copy of the first with just changing the /ui action to the correct tool. this takes very little time really.. i was able to grind out my last two blocks quickly tonight. Others have told me it is possible to completely grind out MDE in 4 hours if you already have all your items avaible.. Also take note, the grind works only when far away from crafting station or droid w/ crafting module."
ok
(repeat thur tool5 then change the last /pause 2; to /pause 3; then add line /ui action toolbarSlot01; which would start the second part of the 10 tool grind.. sencond grind is a copy of the first with just changing the /ui action to the correct tool. this takes very little time really.)
i dont get this bit. does it start the crafting tools off on a second wave? only i thought only 1 tool could be used at one time. so surely you only need about 5 and by the time the last one is dont the 1st one would be finished and able to start again.
so basically: why 10?
and what is secondary grind?
thanks anyone
