Tehm's Flax Seeding Macro
From A Tale in the Desert

//This Macro will plant several rows of flax in order to harvest seeds from them // //You will need to use double F8 view. Zoom all the way in, then 7 mousewheel clicks out //(your avatar will be a little smaller than the size of the thumb in the Gather Grass icon //For this to work you need to **minimize chat*** //Open the Plant menu and pin it to the top or bottom of the screen //When the macro starts, you will need to quickly mouse-over the Plant Flax Seed instruction //As the macro runs, your avatar should stay in the middle of the flax beds, but he will stray //It is up to you to move him back to the middle (or close) when this happens //It is my belief this is caused by server lag and therefore cannot be avoided //I use screen resolution 1280x1024 on a wide-screen monitor //MousePos 638,508 //My Head delay 3000 Constructs MouseX=List // this is an array of mouse X coords MouseY=List // this is an array of mouse Y coords END Constants RowLen=7 //actually does n+1 -- Recommend 7 or fewer if Seedcycles is 3 ColLen=2 //actually does n*2 -- Recommend 2 or fewer if Seedcycles is 3 ActualCols=0 //program sets this ActualRows=0 //not used XHomeDist=0 //Not necessary because it plants even numbers of rows YHomeDist=0 //sets later SeedCycles=3 //harvest how many times (n+1) -- for best results use 3 or less InitialDelay=50000 //Time until the flax goes to seed and can be harvested NextDelay=0 //Program sets this - the time between subsequent harvest cycles LoopVal = 1 //do not modify END Compute ActualCols = $ColLen * 2 Compute YHomeDist = (($ActualCols) * 375) Compute InitialDelay = $InitialDelay - (475 * ($RowLen + 1) * ($ColLen * 2)) + 475 Compute NextDelay = 66000 - ($ColLen * 2) * ($RowLen + 1) * 1950 Compute NextDelay = MAX ($NextDelay, 0) //Acquire Location of Plant:Flax Seed Listadd MouseX, {MouseX} Listadd MouseY, {MouseY} Call Plant $RowLen, $ColLen Delay $InitialDelay loop $SeedCycles Call HarvestAllSeeds $RowLen, $ColLen, 0 //This cycle harvests only Delay $NextDelay end //This cycle harvests then rips out the flax bed. //If you like picking a lot of seeds up off the ground, remove the next line.
