/autocraft¶

Script-provided

Registered by autocraft. Start it with /lua run autocraft.

Syntax¶

/autocraft <recipe name> [count] [finish|quality|balanced]
/autocraft stop
/autocraft status
/autocraft mode <finish|quality|balanced>
/autocraft dump

Description¶

Persistent auto-craft daemon: give it a recipe name (read live from the open Recipe Book) and a count, and it clicks Begin, fires reaction arts every round, and reports the result — repeating for as many combines as you asked for, without you touching the crafting window again.

Requires event-driven crafting

/lua run autocraft refuses to load if eq2.on_craft_round isn't available in the running build — unlike /craft, it has no chat-parsing fallback.

Recipe argument¶

The recipe is entered by name, not ID — the numeric recipe ID isn't shown anywhere in-game. Have your Recipe Book open (press N) so the script can resolve names against it; it captures the window the first time it's shown and keeps using that capture even if you close the book again.

A trailing token is peeled off the name if it matches: a bare number becomes count, and finish/quality/balanced becomes the mode. A recipe name that genuinely ends in a digit (rare) is handled by retrying resolution with the full name if the trimmed version doesn't match anything.

If a name matches more than one recipe, /autocraft lists the candidates and asks you to type more of the name.

Subcommands¶

Subcommand	What
`<recipe name> [count] [mode]`	Queue a craft job. Rejected if a job is already running — `stop` it first.
`stop`	Stop after the current combine.
`status`	Print busy state, current mode, and the active engine session's round/event/countered counts.
`mode <finish\\|quality\\|balanced>`	Set the default mode for future jobs that don't specify one.
`dump`	Print the parsed reaction-art map (after at least one craft has loaded the engine).
`help` / (no argument)	Print usage.

Modes¶

Set per-job as a trailing argument, or persistently with mode:

Mode	Behavior
`finish` (default)	Fire the progress art to complete the combine as fast as possible.
`quality`	Fire the durability art to protect the quality tier.
`balanced`	Progress until durability gets low, then switch to protecting it.

Examples¶

/lua run autocraft
/autocraft Elm Round Shield 5
/autocraft Tin Spatha 3 quality
/autocraft mode balanced
/autocraft status
/autocraft dump
/autocraft stop
/lua stop autocraft

Not the same as /craft¶

/craft is a one-shot script you launch per recipe, addresses the recipe by numeric ID or a separately-cached name, and expects you to click Begin yourself. /autocraft is loaded once, stays resident, takes recipe names straight from the open Recipe Book, clicks Begin for you, and queues jobs through its own command instead of a launch argument. Don't run both against the same combine.
