How to Set Up an Auto-Hatch Macro

Hatching by hand is the part nobody enjoys — the same key, the same spot, for hours. Here is how to hand that over to a macro in a few minutes.

Setting it up

  1. Download and unpack. Unzip the archive anywhere. There is no installer and nothing is added to Windows.
  2. Open the game first. Get to the spot where you normally hatch and leave the window where you want it. The macro repeats positions, so the window must stay put.
  3. Pick the mode. Hold mode keeps a key pressed for a set duration. Loop mode repeats a recorded route. For hatching, hold mode is usually what you want.
  4. Set the hold key and duration. Match it to what you press by hand. Start with a short duration and watch one cycle before leaving it alone.
  5. Bind the stop hotkey. Do this before you start a long run. You want a way out that does not involve killing the process.
  6. Start and watch one full cycle. If the first loop works end to end, the hundredth will too.

Leaving it running overnight

The two things that ruin an overnight run are the screen locking and the PC sleeping. Set the power plan so the machine stays awake, and turn off the lock screen timeout for that session.

Windows updates are the other one. If an update reboots the machine at three in the morning, the macro is gone with it. Pause updates for the night if you are planning a long run.

And leave the game window in the foreground. A minimised window does not receive simulated input the same way.

Why the window position matters so much

A macro repeats coordinates, not intentions. If the game window moves by forty pixels between setup and replay, every click lands forty pixels off, and the run does nothing useful for six hours.

The simple fix is to maximise the window both when you set the macro up and when you run it. Then the coordinates are stable regardless of where the window was before.

Common questions

Does this modify the game?

No. It simulates keyboard and mouse input the same way your hands do. Nothing is injected and no game files are touched.

Will it work if the window is minimised?

No. Keep the window visible and in the foreground.

Can I set how long it runs?

Yes, set the repeat count or bind the stop hotkey and stop it when you like.

Does it need admin rights?

No.

Is there a limit on how long it runs?

No limit, no trial and no account.
