 Open luaScripts/thistle_custom.lua in any text editor.  Near the top are a few values to change, specifically the number of gardens you have open, the current sun value on those gardens (if it's night, set it to 0, if it's daytime and the lid is open, set it to 99, if it's daytime and it's closed, set it to 33 - all gardens must be in the same state), and the instructions to run the recipe.  Paste the recipe over the one that already exists in the macro.
-TODO: how to run it
+To run the macro, you need to open and pin some number of thistle gardens, make sure they are either not overlapping, or overlapping such that you can still see the buttons to add H2O/Oxy/etc regardless of which window is in the front.  The easiest is to just not have them overlapping if you do not understand (hopefully screenshots coming soon).  Then, fire up ''VeggieTales'', choose ''LUA Scripts'', thistle_custom.lua, and enter the number of passes to run (start with just 1 if testing voids).  As directed in the program, click on the ATITD window to put it in focus, and press Shift, and the macro will start running.

 If the results were identical, you have found all of the voids (or, at least, the ones which will affect your current recipe), move on to making them in bulk!
-== Generate recipe(s) again ==
+== Enter voids and generate recipe(s) again ==
 Chances are, if you found a new void, your recipe did not make the thistles you were looking for.  Enter the voids into config_thistle.txt (there should be a '''0''' next to each rule with is voided, '''1''' next to each which is active, just like in ThistleSim), and generate recipes again.

 == Determine voids ==
 If someone else has already determined the voids for this week, you can simply jump ahead and enter the voids into the config file.  Generally those who determine the thistle voids place the information in their info text.  Try /info Jimbly or /info Ephemere to see if we have the voids for this week.
