RELEASED Gardenbot 2.1 -- REBOOTED -- 2.1.1.6

That worked! Thank you!

 

Crew members love picking fights with the miners... I swear it's like watching a bar brawl cept the bots can't damage the crew members and the bots can't die anymore. INFINITE ENTERTAINMENT!

Also can we get more advanced bots? Ones that work faster, better, and even more efficiently? This way I don't need 20 garden bots or 50 miner bots.

Please also reduce the Miner49er's mining volume again or cap the limit being played in X radius.

Thanks for the mod.

 

ahhh i broke the post

the mod name in mod manager should be "Gardenbot2 : Reboot Edition" ... not "Gardenbot2 : Electric Boogaloo" heh

yeah, the interactions aren't perfect.. bots that are close to player are treated as a valid monster target and attacked by crew
.. but they need to be a valid target so you can actually hit bots with weapon/bugnet to kill them

theres a lot i deliberately nerfed so bots wouldn't be super over powered and make say "uhm, no."
but, now that sb is a week away from being released, all the engine basics are set so expanding on gardenbot should be relatively easy
after 1.0 drops and settles down, i do need to do a cleanup pass through code anyway. theres orphan code all over :"(

can do, that was pretty much the 'oh hey i can do this' initial code.
since i read your post, had 3 different ideas how to change it to make it better
whichever way makes it, will be in next Unstable Fix

 

My I please use this mod in my modpack for my friends I run a private server. Thanks for your time love your mod

 

having trouble with the garden bots: placed one down in my farm area between two garden fences, theres a crop bin inside the area as well. when the garden bot reaches about half way through the farm and it gathers one crop, it immediately explodes... not sure what im doing wrong here

 

Yup just started happening to me

But the lumber bot explodes on activate!

 

So as a test i Started a brand new character/game, and surprisingly it works again. weird that the update broke the current game bots, but there you have it. ppl start over

welp, it worked for awhile, i accepted a bunch of outpost quests and then my bots bugged out again ... maybe i've helped narrow it down?

 

@kithsakhai ,@wrentrillogy ,@raz334
i need to see the starbound.log files to know what is happening
they are in your starbound/storage folder

make them explode again
quit starbound
open starbound.log with notepad
select all, copy, then paste at pastebin.com
copy the link from pastebin and post link here so i can read logfile and see exactly why they are exploding
there may have been some last minute change that ive missed

Edit:

yep, they rewrote harvestable.lua on the 17th, missed it

Thank you for the fast fix. did you notice Starbound has a steam workshop for mods now? I imagine your mod be a hit on there, even more than it is here due to more people using the workshop over the website ^_^

OOPs my bad, Apparently you did put it up on the workshop just this morning, YAY !! ^_^

 

mooo

 

Next up: Animal herder bots?

 

for Fluffalo and Mooshi and Chickens? the v87 will 'harvest' them and gather their drops
if you mean keeping the animals in a certain area, well, i leave that up to the farmer

Frackin Seed Fix

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

Bots seem to have some issues with Tinselbush seeds from Frackin' Universe. Had at least 2 disappear while trying to harvest them. Been trying to replicate the issue again with a 3rd bot, but it just wouldn't plant them, lol.

 

checking into them

edit: no they're fine with latest update - they didnt recognize a bunch of FU seeds as seeds (me assuming things )
edit2: nope they planted then dies -.- dangit

 

Dunno then, had 2 bots just up and disappear in that area of the ship. The only thing I changed was those seeds. None of the crew got anywhere near them either. Might have to see if I can recreate it tomorrow.

 

Sorry if this is the incorrect way to mention bugs, but this is what the review box said. I'm having an issue where the bots are ripping up continual crops and replanting them, instead of only harvesting them. I'm using all recommended mods so all crops continue to sprout on their own, yet the v81 bot took out my crops randomly. :c

 

@Arti78 : found the problem, the bots were getting confused by the throwable item drops, thinking they are seeds and trying to plant them - makes bot explode & disappear - need to test a few more things then ill release update to fix, within 18 hrs .. sorry it cant be sooner gotta work

@Liton: that's not a bug, its a feature the % you can see above the bot when you press alt is their efficiency, when it is 100% it will never tear out crop (less op bots to start with)

 

Is there a way to pick up the bots from the ground?
