Why Pine Tree Forest?
Pine Tree Forest is the optimal field for Blue Hive macroing because it has high blue flower density, excellent Pop Star coverage, and minimal mob interference. The field's layout allows for consistent gathering patterns without drift issues.
Settings Explained
Pattern: ElolPattern
The most efficient gathering pattern for Pine Tree. Covers all flowers systematically while maintaining Pop Star uptime.
DriftCompensation: 1
CRITICAL setting. Prevents your character from drifting out of the field during long macro sessions. Always keep this enabled.
GatherSpeed: M (Medium)
Balanced speed that works with most haste token levels. Adjust to L (Low) if you have fewer haste tokens, or H (High) if you have 10+ haste stacks.
ConvertSpeed: L (Low)
Blue Hive has excellent conversion rate. Low speed ensures you don't waste time converting when you could be gathering.
Common Issues & Fixes
Problem: Character drifts out of field
Solution: Ensure DriftCompensation=1 is enabled. If still drifting, reduce GatherSpeed from M to L. Also check that your movement speed matches your haste token count.
Problem: Balloons overfilling
Solution: You have too many Tadpole bees. Reduce to 8-10 Tadpoles maximum. Check your hive composition.
Problem: Pop Star not activating
Solution: You need more Buoyant bees (18-20 minimum). Also ensure you have the Pop Star passive unlocked on your SSA.
Problem: Macro disconnects overnight
Solution: Enable "Keep Alive" in Natro settings. Also disable Windows sleep mode and screen timeout.
