The Craftybot confuses me. Is it best used in my inventory or freestanding in my house? When it wants to fetch things, does it need me to make them available somehow? How do they work, these crafty bots?
The Craftybot needs to be freestanding to be used. It is to be mainly controlled from a webpage on a mobile device so things can be crafted without loading up the game. It is pointless using this bot because it uses up so much fuel.
Okay, another question. I'm trying to make stuff with a beaker, and the bot says that I need "X number of red elements." But I can't drop elements ... they get destroyed. And if I leave a chemical, it doesn't do anything. Is this a bug or...?
I was able to pick up Craftybot and use him while he was in my inventory. That was useful because all the ingredients and tools he needed were in my inventory. But it's more fun and useful to have him freestanding if you have tools and SDBs around.
eh....i didn't get one. but i think this might have been what i needed because i no longer run to the back yard to expect it. kind of a healthy flaw, if that makes sense.
if only it could also gather resources on its own xD it could be used for mass production while being offline
but the bright side is it implements the crafting of all the basic resources on it's own, that's great
I've had about 54 dullite chunks on the house floor for a few days, but the craftybot still says it needs to fetch 120 of 120 needed. I'd have thought that number would have decreased...?
Also, ever since taking delivery of the craftbot, I've had game crashes like I've never seen before. The game will simply freeze up - totally unresponsive to clicking anywhere. The only thing I can do when that happens is Task Manager - End Process on the flash plugin.
I love the craftybot... I'm so glad you (addressing TS here) gave us a chance to play with it.
It's adding to my list of reasons to be sad, though. I can see so much potential in it. Once we all got used to the craftybot and had all our things laid out in the house for him/her, the time we would have spent crafting would be freed up. Sure, we'd still have to collect resources, but that involves running through streets, not standing around crafting thing after thing. And, I would have loved to see how this might have been expanded...
With this release, I got my now-second-nature Glitch update excitement. So happy to try it for the first time, so happy to work into my play style, and eagerly looking forward to what comes next. All of that is bittersweet now. I'm trying it only to have it taken away, changing my play style hardly seems worth it, though I might, and what comes next? The Giants snap out of their beautiful daydream. And Ur vanishes.
@Rockadilly
No, you can use it by putting it in a backpack slot and taking it around with you while you travel through Ur, or (based on the posts above) leaving the resources and tools in your house for the bot to use while you're out.
@Vortexae
Usually, a kick or two will make it see that you have the resources already. :p I don't know if that applies to having the bot in the house, though; I carry mine with me. I also don't know if it affects Flash in any way.
