Farm Boy - tools for XP & talisman farming

[Phoenix2021]

I’d like to announce the public release of Farm Boy, which is a series of tools that automate certain gameplay actions within Frostborn Wrath. They simulate mouse clicks and keystrokes without modifying the game itself. The primary focus is to simplify the building and management of mana farms for XP runs and reduce the time spent on grinding for talisman fragments.

Farm Boy is offered for the low price of FREE. My hope is that other players might find it useful and I want to give back to the GemCraft game series that I love.

This project started out as a way to save the “U” key on my keyboard, and it just kept growing from there. It is built using AHK (AutoHotKey) and is run in an uncompiled form, so that anyone who wants to can review the code and/or make their own improvements & customizations.

I don't know why nobody replied here. Watched your demo video and it looks like a huge QoL boost. I'll be trying it out next week when I have more free time and give you feedback. Thank you for your time and making this public!

Edit:
Following through the setup: It would be nice if we could go back a step. For example, if the grid alignment is off, but you only figure that out during snap grid (I'm off by 1 pixel both in W and H so it doesn't matter for me) then there's no way to "course correct".

The Farm Boy icon cuts off at the bottom during Step 8 with my Resize Icon at 60 (playing at 2560 x 1440). It will function but isn't as neat as it could be. (Edit: after setup, the button isn't cut off anymore)

Another point I'd like to make is the possibility of perhaps integrating the function of Farm Boy into Bezel Mod Loader: https://gemforce-team.github.io/BezelModLoader/

There are certain mods there that share a similar function (but not entirely) to your Farm Boy with certain huge advantages, such as not needing AHK, cursor positions, instant upgrading all gems etc as the functions are directly called instead of recording cursor/key movements. However, your Farm Boy has additional functionality over those other mods so I'm sure Farm Boy would be desirable to have as a mod.

Setup completed, will try next week!

Edit2: Wall breaker breaks when it clicks a shrine

Agent Orange, thank you for your feedback. I will get started on fixing the bugs you found.

I remember when Bezel Mod Loader came out soon after the game launched. The videos I’ve seen have only mentioned a couple of the mods built for it, so I don’t know what mods are out there. I agree that being on the “inside” of the game would make many of Farm Boy’s functions work instantly and would have reduced the number of hurdles that I had to overcome while being on the “outside” and using AHK. If someone would like to write mods based on the new ideas I’ve put out there, great.

Personally I’m not a fan of game modding or hacking. Once I figured out how to edit the Windows 95 registry to change my Freecell stats, it destroyed the game for me and I stopped playing. (I just really dated myself there, didn’t I?) But then the automation of mouse movements and keystrokes (what Farm Boy does) in certain games is enough to get you banned. I guess that is just my line in the sand, and the reason I chose to make Farm Boy.

I totally forgot to mention this: you can always run “Setup.ahk” to go through the setup steps again to correct that 1 pixel off issue.
