[Mining] [Solved]Trouble with smelting in macro with multiple ores

Found Storm's video on youtube to set up macros.

The Prospect macro works set up exactly as in video no problems.

Repeat mining last target works fine , but to run on my PC I needed to insert a 1 sec delay after each swing of shovel so it looks like: [Shovel - target cursor]>[Cursor Target Last]>[1 second delay]>[Shovel - target cursor]>[Cursor Target Last]>[1 second delay] and then each large ore type, targeted to fire beetle.

Having a problem with the smelting portion at the end of the macros. It works fine if there is only 1 type of Large ore present in bag. Even mining a single targeted spot, there is no way to prevent getting a 2nd ore type in the bag... how to deal with this in macro?


1st Edit - Ok, I watched the mining process more closely, and with shovel, or with pick the "You must wait before performing another action" error comes up when there is a 2nd (or more) Large Ore type in the bag. It just never happened when I watched shovel macro go the first few rounds. I have not seen this discussed in forum or data chest (I may have missed it), and it is not mentioned in video guide. How do you handle it? Note, I am not doing target by resource.

2nd Edit - Looks like it does not happen often enough to cause a problem, and since I am not losing tool uses, or ore, it is a non issue. Clicking the appropriate macro again works fine, and it eventually catches all the ore types in smelt portion.

I separated my mining and smelting actions into two macros, and I only use the smelting macro when I'm feeling lazy. However, I use a similar macro while lumberjacking to turn logs into boards. I found the LJ version to be much more useful.

I bound each of the ore types to a key and stored my fire beetle as its target. To smelt my ore, I just press the button and the appropriate ore type disappears. EC makes mining so much easier!

Also, I didn't include verite and valorite in my smelting macro since I do those separately when I get back to my house.

For posterity's sake, here's a link to @Storm's video:
