There are several macro's out there to grind, but I've not seen one posted recently on setting up Harvesters or other structers. This is a macro I wrote to take some of the pain out of the process.
NOTE: [] Indicate text you should add, don't include the []'s. /* */ are comments, edit them out if you Cut and Paste.
/setpermission admin [Name]; /* This is just to allow my alt access */ /paymaintenance 15200; /* Maintenance for Heavy for a 7 Day run */ /addpower 12600; /* Ditto, only power */ /nameStructure [Name]; /* Love this. You can include color! */ /pause 2; /* Just to give everything a chance to run */ /structurestatus; /* Make certain everything is ready to roll */
This will work on all structures, including houses/factories. To the best of my knowledge there is no macro to setup resource and to turn the harvester on. If anyone has these commands, I would love to know about them!
Enjoy!
NOTE: /pay is not currently working. You may want to leave it in the macro as we can hope it will be fixed at some later date.

I did have the pay maintenace and add power commands in a macro but what i would REALLY REALLY love is a macro that would also permit me to retrieve the resource...
Like sometimes i have 60+ harvesters running and these 3 commands would make my life a real charm...anyone????

To the best of my knowledge, there are no commands to:
Select a resource
Turn harvester on
Empty a harvester
Turn a harvester off
These commands exist in some form, after all the GUI is sending something to the server, I just don't know what.

I have a name changer/admin setter, very helpful if you need to add alot of people to your miners.

You can do this with an alias actually, I have several set up. For example:
/alias admin /setpermission admin
then I would type in:
/admin Tiva
Others I've done are:
/alias status /structureStatus /alias maint /payMaintenance /alias power /addPower
As you can tell, these are same commands as the macro contains. I'm also the king of mistells and hate sending replies to the wrong person, so I create aliases to send messages to people I chat with frequently in game. For example:
/alias tom /t tom
Type: /tom Wazzup dude!
Will result in the following command:
/t tom Wazzup dude!
ADDENDUM: If Tom is on another server, say Intrepid:
/alias tom /t intrepid.tom
This works in email as well, simply add the server. in front of the recipient.
I love aliases. These are great to use for chat in channels too. Imagine you are using the BIGWORDYTITLEYOUWOULDHATETOTYPE channel. Having the channel on top can result in a lot of mistells, so just add it to spacial window (or any other), and create an alias. For example:
/alias bw /BIGWORDYTITLEYOUWOULDHATETOTYPE
Now you can participate in the conversation by just typing:
/bw Hello Peeps!

I make it a macro, only have to type it once anyway.

In the case of add power and add maintence there short versions are /pay and /addp so you might save yourself an entry in your alias file by using the shorter version.
And im doing the sale with aliases and cross server chat. I had someone hit from farstar. Which is actually europe-farstar and needs the correct captialization. So i just created a /layz alias and it made easier.
Note there is a resource command. No one has made it work. But heres the whole list.
From the architect forums
Q-3.8. What commands are used to operate a harvester?
A-3.8. These are the only commands that appear to be working at this time
/stru - Show status of harvester
/pay xx - Add xx maintenance to harvester
/addp xx - Add xx Power - Leave off amount for dialog
/setPermission [admin | hopper] [name] - add [name] to admin/hopper or remove them if currently on the list
/harvesterDeactivate - turn off harvester
/harvesterActivate - turn on harvester
/name [name] - will change the name of the structure to [name]
/destroystructure - will initiate the prompts to confirm and then redeed the harvester
/harvesterSelectResource - ???? (if anyone gets this to work, please let me know.)

Hmmm...so long as /harvesterSelectResource isn't working, /harvesterActivate seems broken.
Can our Guru post on the Dev boards questions about that? And also ask whether there is a command to intitiate the dialog to retrieve everything from the hopper? There has to be some command, after all the interface is sending something back to the game server.
Finally, we seem to have covered alot about aliases, but how do you delete one after creating it?

Your aliases should reset each time you restart the game. That's why people will often write macros to set all of their aliases for them; that way you don't have to manually type in your aliases every time you start playing.
