Thread: MACRO: EASE THE GRIND
Anyone know how to bypass the "Experiment/Create Prototype/Create Manufacturing item" stage when you're near a food and chem factory?
I only ask because the item I want to grind must be made near one of those...
Sloth,
The "/createPrototype practice no item;" line should take care of that for you. I run the macro in front of my crafting station all the time and I never get asked. Watch for an incorrect schematic to come up, though, if you set up the macro while you were AWAY from the public crafter.

In my hotbar i have 5 crafting tools in a row (slots 00 - 04), in slot 06 i have a master macro called majorgrind, in slot 07 through slot 11 i have macros labelled grind1 through grind5.
Majorgrind:
/ui action toolbarSlot07;
/pause 8;
/ui action toolbarSlot08;
/pause 8;
/ui action toolbarSlot09;
/pause 8;
/ui action toolbarSlot10;
/pause 8;
/ui action toolbarSlot11;
/pause 8;
/ui action toolbarSlot06;
/pause 8;
Grind1: (located in slot07)
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause 1;
/sel 56; [this is shorthand for /selectdraftschematic 56 which is a ribbed shirt for me]
/pause 4; [this provides me just enough time to double click the two components required]
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;
Grind 2 through 5 are the same with the only change being the slot called for the crafting tool in line 1.
To use this Macro by a crafting station and get the practice XP, add a 3rd /nextCraftingStage and a 3rd /createPrototype practice no item
When I was grinding to master, I did this with 10 tools, grinding Blaster(or projectile)Rifle Barrles, the ones that require crystaline gems. Was getting 120XP per combine, 1200 per minutes with 4 second pause in the craft marcos, 6 seconds in the major macro. Another important tip is to program a button on your mouse to be a double-click. This will cut your clicks in 1/2.
Thanks for this awesome macro. Hopefully someone will soon figure out how to select the resources automatically. That would be really nice!
Okay everyone, we seem to have numerous requests for a practicing macro, so here goes;
/createPrototype practicenoitem
There, it's that simple.
Ah, darn lack of edit, its /createPrototype practice no item.
The Macro works great....However, because I have to delete all the items I make...it takes longer than if I didn't use the macro.
If some how I could put it on practice..it would be much faster.
