Updated version of Glodenox’s AutoHotKey script for Faerie Solitaire Classic to repeatedly play the first level of Red Reef to make farming eggs / resources less of a pain in the whatsit! ^_^
 
 

Intro

Back in the pixelly days of Faerie Solitaire Classic, a user by the handle of ‘Glodenox’ developed a script using AutoHotKey to repeatedly play the level that had the highest probability of dropping eggs, and being the magnanimous soul that they were, freely shared the fruits of their labour for the masses to enjoy, here. – [steamcommunity.com] 
 
 
Alas, as time moved on and Faerie Solitaire got Remastered, smoothing those blurry pixels, making its window bigger and implementing small changes to menu options, that original script became yesterday’s hero… fondly remembered, but sadly no longer fit to gather all those elusive little eggs.
 
 
That is, until now…
 
 
 

Glodenox’s Script Remastered

Rather than wasting space here explaining what AutoHotKey is and does, I refer you back to Glodenox’s original guide – [steamcommunity.com]  as that already covers everything you need to know, where to get it from, and how to use the script.
 
 
A couple of points to note:
 

• Like the original script, this one expects Faerie Solitaire Remastered to be in windowed mode
• Unlike the original script, this one expects it to just be sat at the main menu when you start it
• As there is now a cost of 1,000 Pure associated with restarting a level, I tweaked the code to quit out to the main menu and re-select Red Reef from the Quickplay menu, thus preserving your precious and ever-growing ill-gotten gains… Scrooge McDuck would be proud!

 
On to the main purpose of this guide: below is the script that does all the whizzy magic stuff!

Outro

That’s it!
 
 
Run the script, sit back / go off and watch TV / go to bed, and let the computer play that one level over and over again in the hopes of finally persuading the Random Number Gods to give you the eggs you’re missing!
