So in the classic version previously I made pretty heavy use of macros for digging (I basically have some standard floor setups I generally use, macro them and then just use them in new forts). But when I'm trying to use them for a new fort (now that I know I think decently well what I'm doing in this version) it's just... not working. I have mining turned on (and set to mine everything), place the cursor where I want it relative to where I want to dig, and the cursor moves all over the screen but nothing actually gets marked for mining.

I've even made a test macro to try to see if I somehow screwed the previous ones up and can't see how. I've tried clicking on various combos of things (starting with regular mining on, off, making sure the rectangle option was selected, trying the paint option...) Just... nothing works.

Do the macros only work with things that still use the keyboard instead of the mouse? Is that the problem? Is it currently just impossible to set up a macro to mine in certain patterns? Anyone play with this and get it to work or have the same issue?

Do you have the... Keyboard Cursor (?) option on in settings? You may need to

Macros mime the exact keypresses. Unless you've mapped d to dig your macro fails at step one.

I mean, these are macros I made on my first Steam fortress, so not the old ones using the d key. If it's keypress-only though, maybe that's the problem.

I'll have to check the cursor thing in my settings next time I play.
