Setup guide

From zero to automating in about 10 minutes.

1. Install the app

Grab the Silent Bots installer from the download page for your platform:

  • Windows: run the .exe. It installs and auto-updates itself.
  • macOS: open the .dmg and drag Silent Bots to Applications. First launch: right-click → Open (to bypass the unsigned-app warning).

The app already points at the Silent Bots server — no configuration needed.

2. Install an Android emulator

Silent Bots controls a game running inside an Android emulator on your PC. On Windows we recommend BlueStacks 5. On macOS, use the built-in Android Emulator (AVD) via Android Studio.

💡 The emulator runs the actual game. Silent Bots watches its screen and sends taps/swipes — exactly like a human would.

3. BlueStacks setup (Windows)

Silent Bots talks to BlueStacks over ADB. You need to enable it once:

  1. Install BlueStacks 5 from bluestacks.com and install your game inside it.
  2. Open BlueStacks Settings (gear icon) → Advanced.
  3. Turn on Android Debug Bridge (ADB). Note the port it shows (usually 5555).
  4. Click Save changes and restart BlueStacks if prompted.
⚠️ If you run multiple BlueStacks instances, each has its own ADB port. Silent Bots auto-detects common ports (5555, 5556, …) and lets you pick the device.

4. Connect the app to your emulator

  1. Open Silent Bots and go to the Dashboard tab.
  2. The app auto-discovers running emulators and auto-connects to known ports. Your device (e.g. emulator-5554 or localhost:5555) should appear.
  3. If it doesn't appear, click Discover / Refresh. Make sure the emulator is running and ADB is enabled (step 3).
  4. Select your device — you'll see a live screenshot preview confirming the connection.

5. Enter your license key

  1. Go to Settings → License.
  2. Paste your EBF1.… license key and click Validate.
  3. A green "valid" badge confirms you're activated. Your games unlock in the Automations tab.
🔑 Your key is tied to a limited number of devices. Don't share it — sharing is monitored and can get the key suspended.

6. Your first automation run

  1. Open the Automations tab and pick your game.
  2. Flip on the abilities you want (e.g. Hunt Mobs, Auto-Gather, Collect Rewards).
  3. Set your preferences (biome, resource, max march slots, etc.).
  4. Make sure the game is on the world map, then hit Start.
  5. Watch the activity log — Silent Bots reports every decision it makes as it grinds.

Troubleshooting

Device not showing up

  • Confirm the emulator is actually running and the game is open.
  • Windows/BlueStacks: re-check ADB is enabled (step 3).
  • Hit Discover / Refresh on the Dashboard.

"License invalid"

  • Copy the key exactly (no spaces). It starts with EBF1.
  • If you've hit your device limit, remove an old device or contact support.

Bot seems stuck

  • Make sure the game is on the correct screen (usually the world map) before starting.
  • Check the activity log — it explains what the bot is waiting on (e.g. low energy → gathering).
