nice Duskers-like incremental! some type of priority list for actions for each bot type would be nice.

Attack>disarm>explore for scouts 

deliver>pickup>interface for utility bots etc. 

At it's current state, bots get hyperfixation on whatever they are doing and end up killing themselves against traps and enemies. 

alongside that, some conditions would be nice. "collect only in secure levels" for example

maybe some way to send tasks through the bot menu? having to click on each individual bot and sending them to repairs/deliver can get tedious

Ok, the hazards are downright deadly right now... The Autodisarm is borderline useless as its currently coded.

It needs to be coded as an "emergency replace" (where the task replaces any other task for the closest bot) or have an "avoid hazards" option. (Adding either or both as early and relatively cheap upgrades would be VERY valuable)

Watching a bot quickly walk right through a hazard FOUR TIMES was just horrible!

woo godot

did you use v3.x or v4.x?

also, you can remove the gray outline around buttons that appears after you click them by going under Theme Overrides -> Styles, then setting Focus to StyleBoxEmpty

Would love to see this turn into something like a robot version of COTW (super old game that sadly almost cant be played now due to its age)

What's the purpose of random explore? The bots just go around in a circle in a room already explored. 

Would it be possible for in the future make a way to designate which bots automatically do what? because some of my bots will be exploring and then stop to deliver, and i could fix it temporarily by just making another bot but the issue could just be stopped at the source by giving each bot a priority toggle(i undertand if thats a big ask tho) love the game so far... so much so that i made it to floor 9 without realizing how to make a new bot and i wasnt even bored of it lol

Well, either I'm too dumb to play or my french laptop don't work for the control (Page Up and Page Down don't seem to work since I'm block in L0...)

If in one update the control settings was implemented I would retry to play... but I don't know why that doesn't work...

I really like the concept. Am looking forward to any future updates!

Feedback/bugs v2023-07-29:

• Hover over Automate Repairs in Settings. The pop-up description is from the Automate Scrapping description.
• Add a Notification History in case the player accidentally deletes a message they did not read or if the player forgets main mechanics.
  • I didn't fully understand how the Interface tech worked for 20 min and had to boot up a new save to figure it out
• My game lost a lot of frames during 2x speed when I got: 9 bots (~4 working ~5 upgrading), layer 15, & all tasks automated (Tasks: ~3 on the HUD). Maybe an optimization issue with automated tasks searching through the bot list? Maybe it's only an issue in browser mode?

Again, really fun concept for a management game. Thank you!

I want to be able to choose which robots are doing what "robot 0: explore, robot 1, 2 &3: gather and deliver/scrap at base.

I would also like to see a status window of what each is doing, what floor (and a follow button to go to them)

Loving it though :)

The game is good and all but I am unable to move up through "Transport Up" and there is no tutorial to it. Can you tell me how I can proceed

I really like this game.

The following are features I would like if they were added to the game.

Mining: Turn walls into paths. Takes time but maybe gives scrap.

Auto Upgrade: Robots automatically return to base for upgrades.

Auto Construct: Robots are automatically built using templates.

Wrecked bot removal: when wrecked bots are empty it would be nice if they disappeared.

Auto Repair: automatically repair items that you pick up. (auto scrap given priority)

Robot Roles: assign roles to different robots to focus on different tasks.

Enemy Bots: weapons, armor

More upgrades.
