O.K., first off it sucks we can't Auto Pull from crates anymore and it needs to be fixed. However, I believe I have found the most efficient way to slice under the new system:

I put all of my crates up on the tool bar, they only problem is they all look the same, so I would suggest grouping each kind of crate in with an openslot between them. When you hit the appropriate key, one item gets pulled out of the crate and lands in your main inventory window regardless of where the crate sits.ex. if a crate is in your backpack, the item pulled will still land in your main inventory. Do not pull any tools until after you trade, this will prevent the shifting from happening. This is how I work the process.

Trade

hit F1 for a clamp

hit F5 for a Knife

hit F7 for an AUK

hit F10 for an WUK

Slice an item

pulla set of tools for the next item

Slice

and so on until done

It is still a little extra work, but much more efficient than sliding around your inventory looking for the right crate.

Pretty good idea there. I think I'll do something very similiar. Using the expanded toolbar I'll put my crates on the second row and then write macro's for the different slots. This way each toolbar will have unique symbols. And I'm better at associating things with symbols than positions on a toolbar.

Hmm, good idea. You might be able to make a macro to pull clamp + UK (one macro for each type) similar to the ones that equip armor and clothes.

JamesHighwest and Iawo, excellent ideas I will try to implement them as well. I have a terrible time getting macros to work when I need to reference toolbar slots.

/ui action toolbarSlot0x; (put the slot with a clamp crate here)
/ui action toolbarSlot0x; (put the slot a weapon or armor UK crate here)

make two macros one with the WUK and one with the AUK referenced, leave the clamp slot the same in each and pull your knives seperately since those have charges.

and no I dont charge more, I think that's childish and silly. You have to send maybe 15 more seconds slicing now. In the words of collin quin "Shut up stupid"s.

Just keep in mind that it's toolbarSlot00 for F1 through toolbarSlot11 for F12 in the first row, and toolbarSlot12 for F1 through toolbarSlot23 for F12 on the second row.

Also, there's a way to switch which toolbar is showing, but I don't recall what it is.

That's right, that is what keeps messing me up is that it starts a 0.

I sent an email to a few smugglers I know in game explaining this more in depth so... heres the rough copy of the emails.

The new publish has nerfed us slicing... we now have to manually pull all of our slicing tools from the crate instead of slicing automatically doing so.

An easy way to change this, choose 4 empty spots on a toolbarpane. I used toolbar pane 6. Place your crates of Molecular clamps, AUK's WUK's and PLK's in the 4 empty slots. I used toolbarSlots f1, f2, f3, and f4.

I put MC's in F1, AUK's in F2, WUK's in F3, and PLK's in F4

Now you can set up an alias...

/alias auk /ui action toolbarPane05;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/ui action toolbarSlot01
/alias wuk /ui action toolbarPane05;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/ui action toolbarSlot02
/alias plk /ui action toolbarPane05;/ui action toolbarSlot03

This way, when you type /auk it will spit out one MC and one AUK instantly... you can even put the crates in your backpack and not have to worry about opening your backpack and manually clickin the crates.

I made a macro that will take out 5 AUK's and 5 MC's plus a PLK in one click.

The following macro is a macro I titled auk.

/ui action toolbarPane05;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot03;

With the macro above, I can type /macro auk or drag the macro icon to my toolbar and just click it or hit the appropriate fkey and it will activate the macro.

The following macro I titled wuk

/ui action toolbarPane05;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot03;

With the macro above I can type /macro wuk or click the appropriate macro button and deliver 5 wuk's, mc's and one plk.

This is a GREAT aid for bulk slicing... every five items I can type /macro wuk or click the button and be set...

Just remember... we got use to slicing a way that was bugged. The "nerf" of the slicing tools being removed automatically is actually a fix for something we all got used to which was broken... Just because the Dev's did this is by no means a reason to leave the profession.

We are smugglers. With the onslaught of fixes and obstacles, we, the smugglers, will always overcome.
