That being said, we offer refunds on a case-by-case basis for technical issues that prevent you from using OriginsBot. Please contact support within 7 days of your purchase with details about the issue.

Free: one game instance. Pro: as many copies of Age of Origins as your Mac can run; the only limit is memory and CPU.

Each account needs its own copy of the game. Adding another account

No. OriginsBot can only be installed and activated on one Mac at a time. Your subscription is tied to a single machine.

Important: If you need to transfer OriginsBot to a different Mac, please contact support to deactivate your current installation first.

No. Camel Games (the Age of Origins developers) only allow one device per account at a time. If you log in on your phone while OriginsBot is running that account, the copy on your Mac is disconnected.

Don’t use an account on two devices at once; it may trigger game security measures.

OriginsBot lists every copy of the game it finds in PlayCover. If one is missing or can’t be controlled:

• • Game not running: click Launch on its card, or open it from PlayCover.
• • Input bridge missing: open Help › PlayCover Setup Assistant… and install the bridge for that copy.
• • Game just updated: updates replace the bridge; run the Setup Assistant again.
• • Window on another desktop or minimized: move it to the desktop you’re using.
• • Using BlueStacks: enable Android Debug Bridge in BlueStacks Settings › Advanced.

Try these in order:

1. Click Launch on its card and wait for the city view.
2. Make sure its window is on the same desktop as OriginsBot and not minimized.
3. In the Setup Assistant’s Input Bridge step, click Verify Running Games.
4. Quit that copy of the game and open it again.

PlayCover 4.0 or later and Age of Origins 1.3.841 or later, on an Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 14 or later. The Setup Assistant checks all of these and downloads a compatible PlayCover.

PlayCover isn’t notarized by Apple yet. Click Done on the warning, then in System Settings › Privacy & Security click Open Anyway next to “PlayCover was blocked”. macOS only asks once.

macOS is probably still holding the permission from an earlier copy of OriginsBot. To refresh it:

1. Quit OriginsBot.
2. Open System Settings › Privacy & Security › Screen & System Audio Recording.
3. Select OriginsBot in the list and click the – button below it to remove it.
4. Open OriginsBot again and turn Screen Recording on when it asks.

If it keeps asking after that, let us know on Discord.

They need to be on the same desktop as OriginsBot and not minimized; other windows on top of them are fine. That desktop doesn’t have to be the one you’re using. Avoid full screen, which puts each game on its own desktop.

Run Help › PlayCover Setup Assistant… again and reinstall the input bridge for each copy; the update replaces it.

Try these optimizations:

• • Lower frame rate to 15-20 FPS in BlueStacks Performance settings
• • Reduce CPU cores and RAM allocation if running multiple instances
• • Close other applications to free up system resources
• • Clear BlueStacks cache (Settings → Advanced)
• • Ensure your Mac has adequate cooling/ventilation

It depends on your Mac’s memory and CPU. Start with two or three copies and add more while the Mac stays responsive. Pro can also limit how many run at once (Limit concurrent instances).

OriginsBot itself uses few resources; the games are what use memory and CPU. Running fewer copies at once, or limiting concurrent instances, keeps the Mac responsive.

Yes. Your mouse and keyboard stay free while it runs. To keep the games out of sight, put OriginsBot and all the game windows together on their own desktop (say Desktop 2) and carry on working on Desktop 1. The games just need to share a desktop with OriginsBot, and not be minimized or in full screen. See how to set up a separate desktop.

Free and Pro:

• • Resource collection from city buildings
• • Resource gathering from the world map

Pro:

• • Troop training, by tier or by named unit
• • Peace Shield management
• • Resource audits
• • Daily tasks: Resource Sale, Harvest Skill, Free Recruit
• • Live screen preview

Yes, while the Mac is on, awake and unlocked. Set Settings › Power Management to Standard or Maximum so it doesn’t sleep, and don’t let the screen lock: macOS stops screen capture while it’s locked. Running reliably

OriginsBot reads the screen and taps like a player would. With PlayCover it delivers taps through a small input plugin that PlayCover loads into the game; it doesn’t change game data or gameplay. With BlueStacks it uses Android’s standard debugging interface.

Any automation tool is used at your own risk. We can’t guarantee that the game’s developers won’t act against automation in the future.

Free: One Age of Origins instance with collection and gathering automation, to try OriginsBot out.

Pro: Unlimited instances and every task: troop training (by tier or named unit), Peace Shield management, resource audits, Resource Sale, Harvest Skill and Free Recruit, plus Live Vision Preview (see exactly what the bot sees) and Priority Discord Support. Best for serious players running multiple accounts.

Peace Shield Management is a Pro tier feature that automatically manages your peace shield status in Age of Origins. This feature helps protect your city from attacks by ensuring your peace shield is active when needed.

The bot can monitor your peace shield timer and take appropriate actions to maintain protection for your city, helping you avoid unexpected attacks during offline periods.

Resource Audit is a Pro tier feature that provides comprehensive tracking and analysis of your resource usage in Age of Origins. It monitors your resource levels, production rates, and consumption patterns.

This feature helps you understand your resource flow, identify optimization opportunities, and make informed decisions about resource management and city development strategies.

Check these in order:

1. The bot is running (Play pressed) and the task and its card are enabled.
2. The task isn’t on cooldown (shown under its name).
3. The game is running, at the city view, and its window is on the same desktop as OriginsBot.
4. The Mac is awake and the screen isn’t locked.
5. The card’s Activity panel shows what the last run did.

1. Force quit OriginsBot (Cmd+Option+Esc)
2. Restart OriginsBot
3. If the problem persists, restart your Mac
4. Check for OriginsBot updates
5. Contact support if crashes continue

Please report crashes to [email protected] with details about what you were doing when it crashed.

Open a card’s Activity panel on the dashboard: it lists each step of recent runs with times and results. Right-click a task for Run Now or to change its cooldown.
