Jump to navigationJump to searchI primarily use AutoHotKey on my PC. However, I will shortly be experimenting with Applescript, as I usually play the game on my Mac Laptop.
AutoHotKey Scripts
Charcoal
Description & Usage
To use this, you have to understand how to make charcoal! Visit my charcoal creation guide to get a few pointers! Certainly only try with *one* until you're sure it's working. Occasionally I've had this glitch and move a window, so watch out!
This is an edited version of a macro Tesuji of T3 wrote. I rewrote it in T3 for operating my 10 charcoal ovens, but it actually can support 12 ovens. You must be in full-screen (not window) mode for this macro to work properly. It has settings to make the mouse move super-fast, so I typically don't have this macro always running in the background.
- Setup Controls:
- Ctrl+Shift+Z: Add a window and position it. Hover the mouse over the window and press this key. Do not move a window after it has been placed.
- Ctrl+Shift+X: Clear all window settings. You must set them up again by using Ctrl+Shift-Z on each window.
- Ctrl+Shift+R: Begin recalibrating relative button positions.
- Buttons
- Ctrl+Shift+Q: Press Begin on all windows.
- Ctrl+Shift+W: Add wood to all windows.
- Ctrl+Shift+E: Add water to all windows.
- Ctrl+Shift+A: Close all vents.
- Ctrl+Shift+S: Set all vents to partially open.
- Ctrl+Shift+D: Open all vents.
Note: Make sure to have enough supplies handy (10 jugs & 300 wood/oven).

Carpentry Blades
Description & Usage
NOTE: 1024x768 Resolution Necessary for this and likely other macros to work properly!
This script is meant to automate the manufacturing of carpentry blades! It works decently well for my purposes - feel free to modify it, or use it as a model for other blacksmith efforts.
- Controls
- Ctrl+Shift+G - "Get" Plots hammer hits for command below. If you move or something didn't work, restart here.
- Ctrl+Shift+H - "Hammer" Creates a single blade (test). Will not automatically load/unload.
- Ctrl+Shift+= - Creates multiple blades (based on # entered) and wait for you to press "y" before continuing.
- Setup
- Get overhead view (F8 twice) and zoom in completely.
- Have your chat minimized.
- Be sure to turn on "Chat appears above player's head" in "Chat-related Options"
- Position the "Project Select" window for your metal ?????.
- Open the 'Project Select' window for your desired metal and pin it. Load Carp Blade.
- Position mouse directly over upper-left point of carpentry blade, then press Ctrl+Shift+G.
- Press Ctrl+Shift+H to make a test blade. Unload (or scrap, if necessary).
- If this worked, press Ctrl+Shift+=. Fill in # of carp blades (make sure you have the materials).
- After each blade, press 'Y' within 10 seconds to continue. Use this to verify quality before it unloads.

Glassworking x4
Description & Usage
This is meant to 'mimic' your clicks on multiple Glazier's Benches. It couldn't have 'solid' buttons since things move around, so it is based on the location of the mouse. You need to understand basic Glazier Bench operation to use this script properly.
Command: Ctrl+Shift+Left Click
- Setup
- Decide how many benches you'll be using and edit the script based on this (currently set at 2, the other 2 are 'noted out' with ;)
- Align the first window along the left side of screen.
- Position subsequent windows (all pinned) at the right edge of the 'h' in "Empty ALL the glass from the bench" (see picture below).
- Press Ctrl+Shift+Left Click on the desired commands. If you need to reset the windows (i.e. when a project is complete) simply click the top of the windows (so you don't accidentally click something else).
Visual Aid
(Invisible Picture LOL)
Macro
;This is my Glassworks Macro it is a very basic "mimic click" macro to help operate multiple Glazier's benches (use with CTRL+SHIFT+LEFT CLICK). Align second and subsequent windows at the edge of "h" in "Empty ALL the glass from the bench" such that the whole phrase is visible. !NOTE! Has the ability to be used for 4 benches, but have to manually remove the ";" for those commands.

Speed Thermometer
Description & Usage
This is a quick and dirty script from T3 that made thermometers. Due to lag or strange timing, it has about a 1/40 chance to fail - so you have been warned! It typically averages 4-6k quality.
Command: Ctrl+Shif+T
- Setup
- Have chat minimized, make sure keyboard commands work.
- Load the thermometer project.
- Hover mouse over Glory Hole (ensure it says there!)
- Press Ctrl+Shif+T. Rinse and repeat as necessary.
