Currently some settings may need to be tweaked (apparently on some graphics cards the ATITD graphics render differently enough to throw off some of the image recognition), specifically the thresholds which determine whether a carrot patch has grown to the next size or not. If the program is often over-watering, observe the sizes reported for the carrots at each stage, and update config.txt appropriately. The sizes are the threshold it has to pass to be detected as the next size, so if an originally planted carrot is 75px, and when it grows it jumps up to 125px, you want the first size value set to around 100px (the middle between the two).

 In general, all macros, when first started, will prompt you for some initial parameters and then ask you to put the ATITD window in focus, and then press shift (may need to hold for a moment).  You can also use this for other programs (or, for instance, have Photoshop open with a bunch of screenshots to toggle between, for testing purposes).

 Allows clicking of any number of identical buttons anywhere on your screen.  This has some preset buttons to look for (e.g. "This is" is great for clicking to refresh all pinned windows, or "unpin" to dismiss all pinned windows), but you can also define custom buttons to look for on the fly - choose "Custom", and you will see a thumbnail of what part of the image it will search for (generally the first few letters of the text on the button is fine), and then after that you can click "Last custom" to search for and click all of these buttons again.

 Repeatedly harvests wood from a set of trees.  Pin any number of tree windows (there are 9 Bottle Trees near the SA CS that work well), they can be anywhere on your screen, but the macro searches the screen top to bottom (but you can have multiple side by side as long as one is slightly lower than the one next to it, it will work right).  These windows need to be arranged so that clicking on them in order forms a "cycle", you should be able to click on one, then the next, then the next, and you should be able to get from one tree to the next without having to move, and then back to the first again (after a minute to let the tree heal) (you may need to experiment with ordering them, since the way ATITD determines "This is too far away" is not exactly clear ;).
 This should be run '''without''' a hatchet and with high perception.  Hatchets do not improve the wood per tree per minute, since they increase the time it takes to regenerate, while only giving you one bonus from your perception.
