TDS Battle Pass AFK Guide

How to max the Tower Defense Simulator battle pass overnight with a free macro

Short answer

Install the free TDS macro, import a proven battle pass strategy from the community strategies channel in its Discord, equip the same towers, and start it on a map you can win every time. Turn on Play Again so it replays the same map, press F4, and leave it running. Asphalt Cake’s setup earns roughly 1,700 orbs an hour, enough to max the pass in a night.

1:59 · The AFK battle pass farm in action

Every TDS battle pass is a race against the clock, and finishing it by hand means hours of the same matches. With the free TDS macro, you can farm battle pass orbs while you sleep. Asphalt Cake used exactly this setup to max the battle pass in one night, at roughly 1,700 orbs an hour, fully AFK.

1,700 an hour might not sound huge, but it adds up fast when it's happening every hour you're asleep, at school or doing something else.

What you need

  • A Windows PC that can stay on overnight.
  • The free TDS macro, installed and docked. See the download and setup guide.
  • A reliable strategy, imported or recorded, that wins every time.
  • The towers that strategy uses, equipped in the right slots.

Step 1: Get a battle pass strategy

Asphalt Cake's run used a strategy shared in the community strategies channel of the macro's Discord. Grab a code there and import it into the macro, or record your own if you don't own the towers it needs.

Step 2: Match your loadout

Equip every tower the strategy uses, in the same slots. A missing or swapped tower is the most common reason an AFK run fails.

Step 3: Pick a map you always win

For overnight farming, consistency beats everything. A strategy that wins 100% of the time on an easier map earns more than one that sometimes fails on a harder one. Set it up so the macro replays the same map with Play Again.

Step 4: Start it and walk away

  1. Set UI scale to DefaultAnd dock Roblox in the macro.
  2. Join a private server if you canThe macro has a Join Private Server button, which keeps other players out of your runs.
  3. Watch the first matchMake sure every tower lands where it should.
  4. Press F4 and leave itThe macro plays, wins, replays and keeps stacking orbs. F5 stops it.

Tips for a faster battle pass

Keep your PC awake

Turn off sleep in Windows power settings so the run doesn't stop at 2 a.m.

Stop idle kicks

The macro keeps you active, but read how to fix error 278 if you get disconnected.

Check in the morning

Look at the coins and gems counter. If it stopped early, the log shows where.

Don't wait until the end

Battle passes are timed. Start farming early so you're never rushing the last tiers.

Stay under the radar

The macro's developer says it's 100% external and doesn't inject into the game. Even so, some players report being removed from leaderboards for macroing, so check the official TDS rules, play on a private server and keep your setup to yourself. More in can you get banned for using Roblox macros?

FAQ

How many battle pass orbs can you AFK farm per hour?

Asphalt Cake's macro setup makes roughly 1,700 orbs an hour. Your rate depends on the map, the mode and how fast your strategy clears.

Can you really max the TDS battle pass in one night?

That's what Asphalt Cake's showcase did, running the macro fully AFK overnight with a strategy from the community strategies channel.

Which map should I farm?

One your strategy wins every single time. Asphalt Cake's run kept replaying the same map using the Play Again option rather than picking a new one each time.

Do I need good towers?

You need the towers the strategy uses. If you don't own them yet, record your own strategy with the towers you have, on an easier mode you can win reliably.

Is it cheating to AFK the battle pass?

The macro's developer says it's an external app that doesn't inject into the game and that macros are allowed in TDS. Some players report leaderboard removals for macroing, so check the official TDS rules and keep your setup to yourself.
