MadaoCrafter

Update 2.0 -

Madao has pushed out a lot of updates so I thought I'd try it again. It's still as complicated. While other mod developers have their own custom GUI that is easy to use, Madao is still using some built-in hidden "main menu" option that is terrible. If I'm paying a premium price for an addon I expect a very easy to use GUI. A $20 addon should not have spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes or code that should be hidden from the user clogging up the GUI. Husbando Toolbox is free and it has a well made GUI. Botox is free and it has a well made GUI. I will say I was very wrong with my last post... I had posted additional addons of his would cost you $10 and add up, but nope.. he's charging $20 for each addon. We have addons that will do every quest in the game for less than $20 and he's trying to charge $20 for something that's not only built-in to the base bot, but has other addons which do a better job.

From a usability standpoint on the addon I do own (crafting), it's still confusing. No one understands what it does different than the built-in crafting botbase. The only thing we're "promised" is you can hook together the gathering addon with the crafting addon and automate everything. That's cool, but not $40 cool. I'd rather just use an easier gathering botbase and then tell the free crafting botbase what to make. His Discord is still a cesspool... go read it. He calls people idiots still. He still thinks if you can't figure out his addons you're stupid.

On top of that, Madao deleted this forum thread to hide negative reviews. He intended to force people to his discord via his store page so that he could control the feedback and comments. That is super shady. Thankfully this thread was restored so people can read the overwhelming negative reviews of his mod. Overall, stay away from this addon and all others he releases. Hopefully someday enough negative reviews will get the products pulled from the store, and while those who have paid will have to suffer from having paid, at least new users can be spared from wasting their money.

Here's a good brief of a recent exchange he had on Discord with a customer basically calling them an idiot even though his instructions (as always) are unclear: https://imgur.com/a/OIm3bKG

Well said. Totally agree on everything you said.

Thanks for your reviews guys. I was about to buy this thinking I could just press a button to craft HQ stuff instead of having to create my own profiles and selecting cross class skills by hand every time. That's something I was really looking for (and still am).

You saved me $10.

I agree w/ the above, running this I was using it to craft out items in bulk, and gather, however every issue I ran into I'd report, the first 2 took a while to get across but he at least acknowledged them, once it came to issues with gathering, when using only "gather special nodes" it would continuously keep gathering from the same nodes after instead of moving to new ones. When asked about how to fix it, his respond multiple times is that " you obviously didn't read the wiki so I can't help you" However the wiki only shows some pictures and covers some of the basics, not how to do anything detailed, or the basic areas like this. Despite following it correctly.

I get english isn't their first language, but their constant argument is that they haven't played since 2.2 and came back on 4.3 so this further brings worry on this for the amount spent on the amount of issues it has.

Also update they just removed the key feature that makes this even work correctly, and now you have to pay an additional 24-34$ just to use it, for both gathering/Craft. THIS is super shady, bugged, and developer just says to USE the minion default crafter/gatherer , WTF is the point of purchasing this if the DEVELOPER is telling you to use the default instead of his.

TL;DR Developer stated the addon would allow you to do crafting and gathering since you purchased them separately, now they've removed it and rereleased it (without changes) still bugged according to them, they simply moved it to another addon to get more money. Please ensure if you purchased this previously that you report this to the admins here. This should be MADE clear/Aware to people PRIOR to purchasing so that they're not sidelined.

Every upcoming features were on my UI notification.

And i rarely see here. Please visit my discord and talk with me.
And as for profile generator. I put THIS ADDON IS BETA words 3-4 every corner of UI.

Wiki was messy before but now I polished them. Please read description before you buy my product.

So far I 100% finished what I mentioned for Madao Crafter.
If you face error or bug please contact me in discord. If you dont have any special reason that you cant go discord.
You can run different discord client in browser and exe for hiding your identification.

And sry for my english level. Please make sentense shorter and sum up before type. I maybe impossible to understand large scattered sentence like above.

Don't waste your money. The UI is filled with broken English, its incredibly difficult to navigate and figure out, and rarely works the way you want it to. This goes for all his addons. On top of that its extremely overpriced. He tries to make up for these flaws by saying "read the wiki" or "must be a pro at minion". Unfortunately there is no other crafting add-on yet but when there is it will render this one useless.

Pre - expansion madaocrafter was great! never had any issues, set up was a bit confusing but overall it works great.

Hey guys finding this addon REALLY hard to understand and use.

The wiki does help a little...but regardless it seems to not do much. Out of all the addons this probably is the hardest one to understand.

When crafting, the coordinates cannot be specified in the housing during AFK, what should I do?
Madao is in use. Should I buy the plus?
