Setting Up

This is a macro for mining. It will run on any operating system. To run it you just need to have Java installed. Download this file and run it. (Note don't please check who uploaded the file before downloading it. As this is a wiki anyone could change the file to something malicious)

Ores

Currently the macro works with the following types of ore:

  • Iron
  • Copper
  • Tin
  • Zinc
  • Antimony (I don't believe Egypt currently has the right method for mining Antimony, but this one does a passible job)
  • Lead
  • Silver
  • Aluminum
  • Titanium
  • Magnesium

It does not currently work for, but will soon:

  • Tungsten
  • Lithium

It probably won't ever do these unless I need a lot of them:

  • Gold
  • Platinum

Trouble Shooting

There are a couple things that can commonly go wrong I'll try to keep a list of them here. First step to trouble shooting is make sure you've got the most recent copy of the macro.

  • There must be something in the mine for the macro to work (ie at least one deben of ore/sand or gems). I'll get around to fixing it so that this isn't true at some point.
  • The pop up window on a crystal must be far enough away from the sides of the game window that it doesn't touch. If it does the macro will get stuck.
  • If you change the camera position or move your avatar you will have to restart the macro.
  • The macro is not perfect it will sometimes fail to mine the right crystal. For ores that use the memory game this will result in a large number of failures in a row.
  • Any ore that uses the memory game will start off by getting a few pulls at the minimum then a number of pulls that get no ore per pull (or randomly get lucky and get a bit). Before they start getting a steady 7 ore per pull (or slightly less if your OE level isn't 5 for copper and iron).
