Rationale

Growing flax is simple. It is one of the most basic building blocks of many construction projects. Farming it in quantities, however, present a risk to the wrist and carpal tunnel due to its repetitive nature. We plan to remedy that by using both left and right hands, and minimizing the stress on the mouse-holding hand.

This helper cannot be used in a fully-automated macro harvester.

Instructions

1. Load the AHK file.
2. Position the flax menu below the TimeLoc window as shown below.
   1. 
3. Go to overhead cartographic view (press F8 twice).
   1. Zoom in the closest level.
   2. Zoom out in 10 increments.
   3. Press Alt-L to freeze the zoom level.
4. Start planting flax. Press the Insert key.
   1. Do not move the mouse at any time.
5. Wait for the weeds to grow.
6. Mouse over a flax bed and press the Delete key.
   1. Repeat for each flax bed.
   2. Do not move the mouse when until the bed has been watered, weeded or harvested.
   3. Alternatively, you can use Delete key when watering, weeding or harvesting from the left to the right, and the PageDown key when going from the right to the left.
