How to AFK Macro in Steal an Egg Using AutoHotkey (AHK)

Farming all seven relics in the Alien Area of Steal an Egg can take a lot of time. You need to keep fishing in the Lagoon and wait for the relic drops, which can become repetitive after several attempts. Using AutoHotkey (AHK) is one way to automate repeated keyboard and mouse inputs while farming.

With a simple AHK script, you can make your character repeat the fishing actions instead of clicking manually every time. This guide explains how to prepare AutoHotkey and use it for AFK fishing in the Alien Area.

What Is AutoHotkey?

AutoHotkey is a Windows automation tool that lets you create scripts for repeating keyboard and mouse actions. You can use it to automate simple tasks, such as holding a button, clicking at regular intervals, or repeating a specific sequence of inputs.

For Steal an Egg, the idea is to use AHK to repeat the fishing controls while your character stays near a fishing pond. However, the script needs to match the game’s current fishing mechanics. You should also check the game’s rules before using macros, as automation may be restricted.

How to Set Up AutoHotkey for Steal an Egg

Before creating your fishing macro, install AutoHotkey on your Windows PC. The following steps use AutoHotkey v2 syntax.

1. Download and install AutoHotkey from its official website.
2. Create a new text file on your desktop.
3. Rename the file to StealAnEgg.ahk.
4. Open the file using a text editor.
5. Copy the script below into the file.
6. Save the changes and double-click the AHK file to run it.

The script uses F6 to start or pause the repeated input and F7 to exit the macro.

How to Use the AHK Macro in the Alien Area

Once AutoHotkey is running, enter Steal an Egg and travel to the Alien Planet. You need to unlock the Lagoon before starting your relic farming session.

Catch at least 20 fish in the Alien Area, then speak with the Alien Ferryman to unlock the Lagoon travel option. After arriving, choose a clear fishing spot where your character can cast without hitting nearby objects.

Before activating the macro, test the fishing controls manually. Make sure your character can successfully cast and complete a fishing attempt. Then run the AHK script and monitor the first few attempts to confirm that the inputs are working correctly.

How to Farm All 7 Relics While AFK

The secret gate requires seven relics, which can be obtained by fishing in alien waters. The problem is that relic drops are random, meaning you may receive the same relic more than once.

An AHK macro can help repeat fishing inputs, but it cannot guarantee a relic drop or automatically identify which relic you still need. Check your inventory regularly to track your progress.

Use these tips while farming:

• Stay in the Lagoon because it is the hidden fishing location used for relic hunting.
• Use your best available fishing rod to benefit from its fishing bonuses.
• Check your inventory after receiving a relic.
• Keep fishing if you receive a duplicate.
• Monitor the macro to make sure your character is still fishing.
• Stop the script before moving to another location or interacting with NPCs.

Once you have all seven required relics, return to the secret gate and place them into the available slots to unlock it.

Other Rewards From AFK Fishing

Relics are not the only rewards available in the Alien fishing area. You can also make progress toward fishing milestones and collect Void Pearls while farming. These rewards can help you unlock additional items and improve your progress in the Alien update.

The Kraken Rod is one of the major fishing milestone rewards, although obtaining it requires a large amount of fishing progress. The Lagoon is also connected to the Cosmic Eclipse event, where players can try to obtain the Nebulous Kraken.

Keep an eye on event announcements while farming. If a limited fishing event becomes available, you may want to pause your regular relic grind and focus on the event rewards instead.

AutoHotkey can help reduce repetitive fishing inputs in Steal an Egg by automating simple mouse and keyboard actions. To start farming, unlock the Lagoon by catching 20 fish and speaking with the Alien Ferryman. Then, find a suitable fishing spot and test your AHK script before leaving it running.

Remember that the basic script above only repeats a mouse click. It does not guarantee successful fishing or relic drops, so the input sequence may need to be adjusted to match the game’s controls. Keep checking your inventory until you collect all seven relics and unlock the secret gate.
