This macro needs to determine the size of your game area to work correctly. It does so by detecting certain graphical elements on the screen.
 
First it needs to see the small pyramid icons in upper right corner. It also needs to have the skills window *not* minimized.
 
As of right now, the macro only works in full screen or maximized mode. It will not work in window mode.
 
The macro will definitely not work correctly if it fails on this part.

One additional feature in this macro is having it open and pin the oven windows for you, in a grid.
 
 
 
First, make sure your "Right Click Opens Menu as Pinned" is on. It's in Options -> Interface Options. Hover your mouse over each oven and press ctrl+shift+win+a. Do not change your camera view.

This macro gives keyboard control over charcoal hearths and ovens. Allows you to control as many ovens and hearths as you can fit on the screen without the windows overlapping. A combination of hearths and ovens should work as well, although I haven't tested that.

Setup

Open and pin your ovens and make sure the windows don't overlap. Once you run the macro it will tell you how many oven windows it found. Make sure this number matches the number of windows pinned, or the macro will not work properly. After this point do not move or close any of the windows.

Running the macro

Once the setup is complete, hit Ctrl+Alt+Shift+` (that's the tilde key) to have the macro start all the ovens. The macro does not run the ovens for you. You do it yourself. The hotkeys are:

Ctrl + a to add wood.
Ctrl + w to add water.
Ctrl + 1 to set vent to low.
Ctrl + 2 to set vent to medium.
Ctrl + 3 to set vent to high.

The macro clicks very fast, but not all clicks might happen instantenously. To reduce the chance of having ovens desync I recommend performing actions right after a 'tick'.

Other hotkeys
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R to reload the macro.
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E to edit the macro.

If you don't like my choice of hotkeys feel free to edit them in the macro.
