    Hi

    I wasn't sure where to post this, so i'll try here

    I've tried using Razor to make it less annoying to smelt iron in stacks of 2, but with out luck

    Ive tride to "do it by type", but since there is more than type of ore, in the different stacks, im getting a bit of a headache doing it manually.

    Is there a kind soul out there, who can post a makro for this, or at least gimme some pointers, in how to make my makro work

    Kind regards
    Birkes

    There are four different pile types of Ore.

    What I'd recommend is an Organizer Agent to find those four types and put them somewhere (i.e. your pack horse) when mining. Then you could set up a Restock Agent to pull each of the for quantity of 2 into your pack. Smelt each, repeat Restock.

    Sounds like a plan. :)

    If anyone has the time or a script to help me get this to work, I will gladly repay in either iron ignots or boards.

    Just started playing here, and new to using Razor, som I don't have any money yet.

    But will try it out, untill I find a solution, one way or the other :)

    Thanks for your input Dalavar
    Much appreciated :)

    Don't let anyone just give you something to paste in. I guarantee you, every minute you spend learning how to do this optimally will pay off 10-fold in future time savings thanks to Razor.

    Haha

    I fully understand what you mean, and I agree.

    It's not like im trying to be lazy or anything, Im just trying to get a head start into editing and making my own.
    Found a lot of help making other scripts, and editing them into my own, and I would not ask before trying out myself, just having a bit of trouble figuring out, how to set this one up :)

    But I fully understand what you mean :)

    Have a great weekend, and thanks for your inputs :)

    Why stacks of 2? Wouldn't you get gains for just smelting one piece at a time? (With the exception of the small type, of course)





    Anyways, here's what I would do:

    (1) - Set up a restock agent that pulls 1 of each 'type' of ore, 2 of the smallest. Razor sees the different size piles of ore as different types. Note that Razor will not differentiate between shadow/dull copper/iron. It's just going to grab whatever is available, so put your colored ores somewhere else if you don't want to use them.

    (2) - Bind a hotkey for that restock agent in Razor in the Hot Keys tab.

    (3) - Start recording a macro. You can use your hotkey for the Restock Agent when you want to use it. This is just freeform and not exact Razor syntax, but I would imagine your macro would look something like this:

    Code:
    Use Restock Agent-1
    Absolute Target    (in order to pull from your bankbox, this will be targetting yourself)
    Wait 1.5 seconds
    Double click: ore type 1    (the largest ore)
    Wait for Target
    Absolute Target     (the forge)
    Double click: ore type 2    (the next largest ore)
    Wait for Target
    Absolute Target     (the forge)
    Double click: ore type 3    (the next largest ore)
    Wait for Target
    Absolute Target     (the forge)
    Double click: ore type 4    (the smallest ore)
    Wait for Target
    Absolute Target     (the forge)
    Use Skill: Hiding    (hey, why not)
    
    Then make sure the repeat macro checkbox is checked and it'll go to town. If you're using the bank and feeling frisky, you can even use an Organizer Agent at the end there to move your ingots back into the bank.



    By the way, you can smelt directly from the bank at some houses around Yew that have forges setup.

    Stacks of two is an optimal balance between speed and ore loss. Your loss is limited to one ore but you're not fiddling with the ore reducing itself to a different type pile.

    The tricky problem with razor is dealing with the smallest ore. Once it's down to 1 you can't smelt it but razor will keep wanting to target that single ore rather than the 5 other stacks of two.

    I always setup an organizer agent on mine to move any remaining ore back to the source. Cumbersome, but effective.
