TDS Macro
Free Tower Defense Simulator macros that place your towers, replay your strategy and grind while you're AFK
Every TDS Macro We Cover
Tower Defense Simulator (TDS) is one of the longest-running tower defense games on Roblox, and grinding it means replaying the same maps over and over for coins, gems, XP and battle pass orbs. A TDS macro does that grind for you: it places and upgrades your towers, finishes the match, presses Play Again and starts over, all night if you want it to.
Record your strategy once, press F4, and it places and upgrades towers, replays the match and farms for you. Free on GitHub, no key. Download and setup guide →
What is Tower Defense Simulator?
Tower Defense Simulator is a co-op tower defense game by Paradoxum Games, released in 2019 and played more than five billion times. You place units along the path to stop waves of zombies, upgrade them with cash earned during the match, and beat a boss on the final wave. Wins pay out coins and gems, which unlock new towers and skins, and each season adds a battle pass with its own rewards.
Matches are played across modes of rising difficulty, from Easy and Casual through Intermediate, Molten and Fallen, up to Hardcore, plus event modes like Frost and the current Night event. Harder modes pay more but need stronger towers and a tighter strategy.
What a TDS macro does
Drops each tower in the exact spot you used, at the same wave, from your recorded strategy.
Upgrades towers as soon as your strategy calls for it, so the run plays out the same way every time.
Uses Play Again after each match, so you keep farming the same map without touching anything.
Coins, gems, XP and battle pass orbs keep coming in while you sleep or do something else.

TDS macro vs TinyTask
| TDS Macro | TinyTask | |
|---|---|---|
| Selects the map and mode | Yes | No |
| Aligns your camera before placing | Yes | No |
| Places towers by wave | Yes | Blind timed clicks |
| Recovers from a lost match | Yes, it moves on to the next run | No, it keeps clicking |
| Share strategies with codes | Yes | No |
| Price | Free | Free |
TinyTask is fine for simple clicking games, but tower defense punishes any drift in timing or camera angle. For an overnight TDS farm, a dedicated macro is the better tool. For other games, see how to use TinyTask for Roblox.

TDS Macro FAQ
What is the best TDS macro?
Our pick is Luxi's TDS Macro (Tower Defense Macro). It's free on GitHub, records your strategy once and then places and upgrades towers, replays the match and farms coins, gems and battle pass orbs on its own.
Is there a free Tower Defense Simulator macro?
Yes. Luxi's TDS Macro is completely free to download from its GitHub releases page. There's no key and no paywall.
How do I download and install the TDS macro?
Download the latest release from GitHub, extract the zip, and run main.exe. If Windows SmartScreen warns you, click More info → Run anyway. Full steps are in our TDS macro install guide.
Are macros allowed in TDS?
The macro's developer says macros are allowed in TDS as long as they don't inject into the game, and that this one only uses screen reading and normal mouse and keyboard input. Some players report leaderboard removals for macroing, so check the official TDS rules and keep your setup to yourself. See can you get banned for using Roblox macros?
Can a TDS macro do the battle pass?
Yes. With a good strategy, Asphalt Cake's showcase earns roughly 1,700 battle pass orbs an hour fully AFK. See our TDS battle pass AFK guide.
Does the TDS macro work on Mac or mobile?
No, it's a Windows app. On a Mac you can record a simple loop with the free ExoPanda Recorder (see TinyTask for Mac), but it won't adapt to waves the way a dedicated TDS macro does.
Is TinyTask good for TDS?
It works for very simple loops, but TinyTask replays blind clicks, so one late wave or a moved camera breaks the run. A dedicated TDS macro aligns your camera, picks the map and reads the screen, which is why it's far more reliable for overnight farming.
