A full Fisch macro setup walkthrough — from downloading the installer to clicking start in-game. This page covers the installer, the main hub, the macro UI, and the start keybind.
Head to the downloads page and grab the latest ExoPanda installer. The download button on that page pulls the current version of the installer — the file is intentionally small because the actual macro is downloaded by the installer from our API on first run.
If the download doesn't start or you're not sure what to look for, the general install guide covers Windows download flow in detail. This page assumes you're already on the downloads page with the installer in your downloads folder.
Double-click the installer. The ExoPanda installer pulls the newest version of the app from our API and sets it up as an officially registered application on your computer — that's what lets the macro hook into a game window the way it needs to. The build lands inside your local app data and the installer wires up shortcuts so the main hub launches cleanly afterward.
When the installer finishes, click Finish. By default that launches the ExoPanda main hub for the first time.
The main hub is the desktop application you'll launch the Fisch macro from. The Home tab lists every supported game; the Fisch tile is the one you want for this setup. There are two ways to actually get into Fisch from here:
Either path drops you into the game with the macro hub running in the background.
Once you're inside the Fisch experience, the in-game macro UI will load automatically. If it doesn't appear, alt-tab back to the main hub and click the Launch button on the Home tab — that forces the macro UI to re-inject. The macro UI is the in-game overlay specific to whichever game you're playing; every game we support has its own.
If the UI still doesn't show up, check the troubleshooting page — almost every "the macro won't load" report ends up being a resolution or Windows scaling issue.
Stand near any body of water and face the water. Press your Start keybind — by default this is configurable from the main hub's Settings tab, not from the macro UI. When you press the key, the macro UI hides itself (so it doesn't get clicked while the macro is running) and starts the Fisch macro: it auto-equips your rod, casts, watches for the shake prompt, clicks it as it floats around the screen, and then handles the reel minigame.
The macro runs indefinitely until you press the same key again to stop it, the game crashes, or you leave the Fisch experience. There's no other mandatory setup — for everything else, the rest of the macro features are opt-in.
One distinction that catches new users: the main hub and the macro UI are two different places, with different settings.
If you want to change the Start key, you do that in the main hub, not in the in-game Fisch macro UI. If you want to tweak how the Fisch macro fishes, that all lives in the macro UI.
