Natro Macro can automatically manage your planters, placing them in optimal fields for nectar collection, tracking harvest times, and collecting them when ready.
Planter system overview The macro supports managing up to 3 planters simultaneously, with two modes:
Auto mode Automatically selects planters and fields based on nectar priorities and available planters in inventory.
Manual mode Define custom cycles of planters and fields with precise control over placement strategy.

Auto mode configuration Basic settings PlanterMode = 0 // 0 = Auto, 1 = Manual MaxAllowedPlanters = 3 // Max planters to use (1-3) HarvestInterval = 2 // Hours between checks AutomaticHarvestInterval = 0 // Auto-adjust interval HarvestFullGrown = 0 // Only harvest at 100%
Nectar priorities The macro uses a priority system to decide which nectar types to farm:
nPreset = "Blue" // Preset: Blue/Red/White/Petal // Priority order (1 = highest priority) n1priority = "Comforting" n2priority = "Motivating" n3priority = "Satisfying" n4priority = "Refreshing" n5priority = "Invigorating" // Minimum harvest percentage per nectar n1minPercent = 70 n2minPercent = 80 n3minPercent = 80 n4minPercent = 80 n5minPercent = 40
Nectar field mapping Comforting Nectar
Refreshing Nectar
Satisfying Nectar
Motivating Nectar
Invigorating Nectar
ComfortingFields := ["Dandelion", "Bamboo", "Pine Tree"]
Field selection
Enable/disable specific fields
BambooFieldCheck = 0 BlueFlowerFieldCheck = 1 CactusFieldCheck = 1 CloverFieldCheck = 1 CoconutFieldCheck = 0 DandelionFieldCheck = 1 MountainTopFieldCheck = 0 MushroomFieldCheck = 0 PepperFieldCheck = 1 PineTreeFieldCheck = 1 PineappleFieldCheck = 1 PumpkinFieldCheck = 0 RoseFieldCheck = 1 SpiderFieldCheck = 1 StrawberryFieldCheck = 1 StumpFieldCheck = 0 SunflowerFieldCheck = 1
Disable fields you can’t access or want to avoid. Planter type toggles PlasticPlanterCheck = 1 CandyPlanterCheck = 1 BlueClayPlanterCheck = 1 RedClayPlanterCheck = 1 TackyPlanterCheck = 1 PesticidePlanterCheck = 1 HeatTreatedPlanterCheck = 0 HydroponicPlanterCheck = 0 PetalPlanterCheck = 0 PaperPlanterCheck = 0 TicketPlanterCheck = 0 PlanterOfPlentyCheck = 0
Enable only planters you have in your inventory for optimal auto-selection.
Manual mode configuration Manual mode allows precise control over planter cycles:
Cycle structure PlanterMode = 1 // Enable manual mode MHarvestInterval = "2 hours" // Manual harvest interval // Slot 1 - Cycle 1 MSlot1Cycle1Planter = "BlueClayPlanter" MSlot1Cycle1Field = "Blue Flower" MSlot1Cycle1Glitter = 0 MSlot1Cycle1AutoFull = "Timed" // Timed/Full // Slot 1 - Cycle 2 MSlot1Cycle2Planter = "PetalPlanter" MSlot1Cycle2Field = "Dandelion" MSlot1Cycle2Glitter = 1 MSlot1Cycle2AutoFull = "Full"
Cycle options
Timed - Harvest based on MHarvestIntervalFull - Wait for planter to reach 100% growthMSlot1Cycle1AutoFull = "Timed" // Harvest every 2 hours MSlot2Cycle3AutoFull = "Full" // Wait for full growth
Enable glitter usage for specific cycles: MSlot1Cycle1Glitter = 0 // No glitter MSlot1Cycle2Glitter = 1 // Use glitter
Glitter increases nectar yield by 2.5x but consumes glitter from inventory.
Advanced manual planter controls: MPlanterHold1 = 0 // Hold planter (don't auto-harvest) MPlanterSmoking1 = 0 // Puff mode (harvest immediately) MPuffMode1 = 0 // Enable puff mode automation
Example cycle Blue Flower Cycle
Mixed Nectar Cycle
// 9-cycle rotation for blue nectar MSlot1Cycle1Planter = "BlueClayPlanter" MSlot1Cycle1Field = "Blue Flower" MSlot1Cycle1AutoFull = "Timed" MSlot1Cycle2Planter = "HydroponicPlanter" MSlot1Cycle2Field = "Pine Tree" MSlot1Cycle2AutoFull = "Full" MSlot1Cycle3Planter = "TackyPlanter" MSlot1Cycle3Field = "Bamboo" MSlot1Cycle3AutoFull = "Timed"
Planter timing The macro tracks planter harvest times in the configuration:
// Slot data PlanterName1 = "None" // Currently placed planter PlanterField1 = "None" // Field it's placed in PlanterNectar1 = "None" // Nectar type PlanterHarvestTime1 = 2147483647 // Unix timestamp for harvest PlanterEstPercent1 = 0 // Estimated growth % // Glitter tracking PlanterGlitter1 = 0 // Glitter used (0/1) PlanterGlitterC1 = 0 // Glitter count // Manual mode flags PlanterHarvestNow1 = 0 // Force harvest flag PlanterManualCycle1 = 1 // Current cycle number
Harvest timing logic The macro uses PlanterTimers.ahk to display and manage planter timers:
PlanterTimers.ahk functionality
// Calculate remaining time p1timer := PlanterHarvestTime1 - nowUnix() // Display format TimersGui["p1timer"].Text := DurationFromSeconds(p1timer, (p1timer > 360000) ? "'No Planter'" : (p1timer > 0) ? "h'h' m'm' s's'" : ((MPlanterSmoking1) && (PlanterMode = 1)) ? "'Smoking'" : ((MPlanterHold1) && (PlanterMode = 1)) ? "'Holding'" : "'Ready'" )
Timer states:
No Planter - Slot is emptyh:m:s - Time remaining until harvestReady - Planter is ready to harvestSmoking - Puff mode activeHolding - Manual hold active Planter optimization Best planter per field Each field has optimal planters based on nectar bonus and growth speed:

Harvest strategies
Use fast planters with high bonuses:
Ticket Planter (2x nectar, 2 hours)
Plastic Planter (1x nectar, 2 hours)
Paper Planter (0.75x nectar, 1 hour)
Set HarvestInterval = 2 for frequent checks.
Use slow planters and wait for 100%:
Planter of Plenty (1.5x base)
Petal Planter (field dependent)
Heat-Treated / Hydroponic Planters
Set HarvestFullGrown = 1 and AutomaticHarvestInterval = 1.
Use medium-growth planters:
Tacky Planter (5-8 hours)
Blue/Red Clay Planters (5-6 hours)
Candy Planter (4 hours)
Set HarvestInterval to match average growth time. Advanced settings Gather integration GotoPlanterField = 0 // Visit planter field while gathering GatherFieldSipping = 0 // Gather in field with planter GatherPlanterLoot = 1 // Collect planter loot ConvertFullBagHarvest = 0 // Convert before harvesting planters
Enable GatherPlanterLoot to collect the items that drop when harvesting planters.
Last planter tracking // Auto mode tracks last placed field per nectar LastComfortingField = "None" LastRefreshingField = "None" LastSatisfyingField = "None" LastMotivatingField = "None" LastInvigoratingField = "None" // Last gather slot used for planters LastPlanterGatherSlot = 3
This prevents placing multiple planters in the same field.
Planter Timers GUI The macro includes a dedicated planter timers window:
Visual indicators - Shows planter type and field iconsNectar icons - Displays which nectar each planter producesCountdown timers - Real-time harvest countdownManual controls :
Ready button - Force planter to ready stateAdd button - Manually add planter data+1HR / -1HR - Adjust harvest timeClear button - Remove planter from slot
Access the timer window with the F5 hotkey (default) or through the tray menu.
Troubleshooting Planters not being placed:
Check that you have planters in inventory
Verify planter type is enabled in config
Ensure target fields are accessible and enabled
Check MaxAllowedPlanters setting
Harvest timing is off:
Verify your system clock is accurate
Check HarvestInterval matches planter growth times
For manual mode, ensure cycles have correct AutoFull settings
Game lag can affect placement/harvest detection
Wrong nectar type:
Verify field/nectar mapping is correct
Check that you’re placing in the intended field
Some fields produce multiple nectar types based on location
Glitter not being used:
Ensure you have glitter in inventory
Check MSlot#Cycle#Glitter = 1 for manual mode
Glitter must be applied when placing the planter
Lost planters:
Check the LostPlanters variable in status
Planters may not be detected if placed manually
Use the Timer GUI to manually add lost planters
