I think I've found (one) cause of the save-button-not-working bug: feeding a worker into the recycler while the worker is holding something

as soon as I do that, the game will no longer save

Denki I love the game but my game is broken the dirt is black pls resolve and response

i dowlanded it on 32 bits

If you click fast the location you want to go to you will go there faster by teleporting short distances

Glitch: when my robot digs holes they can dig under simple flooring that has dirt under it. Which means they can plant trees from under my base.

Sometimes when I tell a robot to pickup 4 planks(because of how much the crude bench saw can make at one time) the robot tries to get 6 and  it stops them from doing anything untill you give them 6.

Denki my computer is on 32 bits but if u remember me im the guy where the game dirt is black and the clay and metal de portements too pls resolve it for me pls man

I<3TheGame

Denki pls resolve my bug my game dirts is black and the clay water too pls resolve

I love the game P.S My computer 32bit i dowlanded on 32bit

i found a bug where a worker bot picked me up and i had to reset because i can't do anything can you plese fix that so worker bots can't pickup players

Hello! Great game! I think I found a bug, though.

I have the following setup:

The first General Storage contains planks, the second poles, and the Basic Workbench is set up to create wooden axes. Works like a charm. Andy chops wood until his axe breaks. Since his hands are then empty, he goes to the Storages, grabs the components, crafts the new axe, and picks it up. Awesome.

I'd like Andy to just keep doing this, so I want to embed this whole setup within a 'Forever' loop. That's when it all goes wonky, though. I've tried programming Andy in several different 'orders', but none seem to work the way I'd like. Adding a single chopping action and then going to create the axe works. (It doesn't work out, because Andy has his hands full of axe and can't get the planks or poles to create the new axe, but he seems to go through the motions correctly). Then adding the inner loop of 'Repeat until hands empty' again doesn't work: the inner loop seems to be ignored then.

For now I just poke Andy and tell him to 'Go!' again when he's waiting at the workbench with his new axe... am I expecting too much?

Not sure if bug or feature, but a bot ordered to 'Find Nearest Tree Soil' will ignore Tree Soils adjecent to a Tree Seed Hole.

General storage seems fairly useless as well, as it seems possible to stack infinite items on the ground.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I seem to be having a problem with cereal crops. I have these 2 patches of crop that my bot keeps using the scythe on and they won't go away, and that makes my other bots not do anything because they are waiting for the bot to finish his job. Saving and reloading seems to break things further, because the golden cereal crop turns into the low quality crop, and the bot keeps trying to work on the same 2 squares. Both squares will not turn into bale cereal, so the bot continues to switch back and forth.

Bug found,Crude worker bots will teleport around the player and won't do anything

Feature request: start menu if there are saves, and multiple save slots. I enjoy playing the game as do both of my kids (9 and 11 years old, great game to improve coding smarts!), but without the save slots I now have three copies of Autonauts on my laptop ;)

No wonder he's sad. His feet got wet. (Probably not supposed to spawn there).

Went through the past few days of bugs. Most of my bugs have been noted by others. But there's a few that I didn't see mentioned.

1) Rapidly inserting items into the recycler makes them invisibly stack in front of it. The bots notice them and can pick them up and restore them.  Or saving and loading will restore them.

1b) Placing a bot that is holding items into the recycler permanently deletes the items he is holding.

2) I saw a post about cereal crops that get stuck. But I have it happen with trees as well, didn't see anyone mention this. Can't interact with it. Saving and Loading causes the stuck trees to become invisible. I'm not sure how to reproduce this but it seems to happen when you or the bot doesn't finish harvesting the tree. (I did get some buggy behavior trying to recreate this one, telling the bot to stop chopping the tree when he is in the middle and trying to pick him up. He would get caught in a loop chopping the tree until you tell him to stop.) I saw this in occur in a YouTube let's play of it, so it's probably pretty common, I can get you the video and time stamp if interested.

3) Quasi-bug: some weird scripting stuff that's not intuitive. For instance if you teach to get something from a general storage, it has 2 commands, move to general storage, take from general storage. In reality it seems to be "move to selected general storage", "take from selected general storage" as you can't mix and match.  In contrast something like a stick seems to be "select nearest stick", "go to selected item", "pick up selected item" The gui doesn't communicate this at all and took me a bit to troubleshoot what was going on. It seems to work better if you don't move commands around much.

4) Minor bug, if you pick up the bot while teaching him it messes up the gui, you can't place loops. Though the bot continues receiving instructions.

5) The bots don't make a check after selecting an item that the items still exist or is nearby when they get there (at least with some commands). For instance if they are to chop a plank into poles. If you pick up the plank they selected and walk off, they get turned into poles anyway (where the plank was before you picked it up) and you are left with an invisible plank in your hand that you need to drop (can be used to duplicate items). If you chop the plank first, they get stuck into a infinite chopping nothing loop. Amusingly, the axe continues the chopping animation even when taken from the bot.

That's all I can think of right now. Pretty fun little game, excited to see what you do with it. And looking forward to seeing some of the updates that you have mentioned, explicit work areas, more conditional statements, etc.  I also find myself wanting more ways to input instructions, maybe choose from a list. Or copy and paste instructions into and out of a notebook or something would be nice. 

Anyway, hope that's helpful and good luck!

I''m not sure what's causing it, but for some of my basic workbots they have started not listening to repeat commands.  I could switch workbots and the same set of commands would work, but they wouldn't realize their hands were full and continue to repeat. They have now started to glitchingly jump back an action and run even without a repeat or forever bracket.

Hope I'm not being too pushy with the feature requests, just see it as feedback and do with it what you will ;)

The 'red circle' that shows the bot's working terrain apparently is centered around the location of the first item you interacted with when you were teaching the bot (i.e. if you're teaching it to chop wood, it will only chop wood in a certain radius around the location of the tree you chopped to show the bot how). It would be nice to have more control over this; for instance by clicking on the 'Find nearest x' entry in the learning dialog, and then clicking the position on the map you'd like to be the center of the bot's working area. Not too hard to fix this up when you're working with inanimate objects (e.g. just drop a log where you want the center to be, then show the bot how to pick it up and bring it to the storage), but I found it very tricky to set the working area I wanted for my bot-recharger-bot. Then again, maybe that's how you want it ;)

On a related issue: the 'Find nearest x' has the bot go to the 'x' nearest to the center of its 'red circle'. Sometimes this makes for very counterintuitive behavior, where for example a bot ignores a tree that's right next to the one he just chopped down, to walk to the other end of its 'red circle' work area where a tree is a fraction closer to the center. Reading 'Find nearest x' I would find it more logical for the bot to find the 'x' closest to its current location (while still within the red circle, to prevent it wandering off too far).

Perhaps this could be added as behavior for higher tier bots; it'll make them 'smarter'.

I found a bug where my bots won't  dig the bulders

I would like aesthetic features ; flowers, paths, road, wall and door, etc.

I reach the limit of dung potential ^^

https://www.reddit.com/r/Autonauts/comments/6p3o25/welcome_to_dungtown/

Found a bug in version 4 (incorrect recpies) in the clay furnace the recipe for charcoal is 1 charcoal and the recipe for metal is 1 metal.

Version 4 Bug: If you use the dragging feature when building things like fencing, you can still build blueprints in the deep water that you can't walk in.

Idk if this is a bug or if its intended, but I noticed that the crude shovel for example can dig 20 blocks of clay or tree soil but it seems to be able to dig infinite bushes and mushrooms. Like I said, Idk if this is on purpose or not but I figured I should bring it up.

One feature I would love to see and I think many others would love to see would be if the game could load up your last saved game automatically on startup. Its not something too important but its a little convienence thing that I think a lot of people would love if its not too difficult to get working.

Possible bug: When you hover your mouse over tiles with name plates and blueprints/buildings with nameplate things, then you move your cursor over the name plate. you sometimes can't move your camera around. Its not very consistent to put your cursor over the nameplate though.

Hey Denki! Love the game and not sure if this a bug or not but sometimes I hit the save button in order to get rid of a bot being stuck on my head after picking him up and pressing space (Pretty Sure that's not supposed to happen) but it loads to a state I was in ages ago even though I just hit the save button.  This is in Version 3 not sure if you fixed it already.

Idk if other people are experiencing this issue but sometimes when the bots are doing things (picking things up, chopping trees, digging holes, planting trees, etc), they walk a really long distance to get to their next job even though there are closer jobs for them to do. This doesn't happen all the time and they tend to ignore things right next to them I noticed. Makes things really ineffiecent imo.

Some problems or bugs with clay pots (probably related) :

1/ If we had stack of several clay pots (with or without another things), we can hover and highlight bottom pot only.

2/ If we leave one or several clay pots on bush, we can't click them any more (but workerbot can find and take them).

3/ If we leave something on a tile, and leave one or several clay pots on top, we can't click clay pot any more (but we can highlight and click another things into the stack which are under or on top of clay pots).

I would like create new city named "Westclaytown" :oP

Hello, i found a bug. Sometimes weed grows on the cereal crops, and that makes a tile impossible to harvest, or do anything. i can use scythe on it, but it doesn't do anything. And 1 more-when i tell workers to seed a tile with an item on it they go to that tile, come back, and get stuck.

What r metal gear and metal pole for?

so somehow, my regular worker happened to pick me up and I can't get him to drop me. I tried trading with him and put myself in my inventory which bugged the game out super hard so I can't even play it any,ore. When I load it just takes me to the edge of the map and leaves me there stuck in a softlock

Hi,

i'm new here so please be patient with me.

I programmed a robot to shovel a tree seed hole, put down the shovel, take a seed, plant it, take the shovel and repeat.

Sometimes it stucks at finding nearest tree seed hole although it has dugged one before.

Version 4

Edit: I can make Crude Gear and Metal Gear but the Recycler needs a "Gear"? Found it within the wood router - it's a bit confusing.

Love this game already, BladesAndRazors

if you're holding a bot and attempt to reprogram a different bot you lose the bot you're holding but it stays above your head. 

Hey When i play autonauts the whole ground is black except for top like grass cereal crops tree mushroom and etc the building tool is fine but the Whole ground is just all black version 3'Brad' i am playing on 32Bit pc k reply K?. GianM145, over.

Hello so i am wondering i got a bot stuck ontop of me how do i get it off my head

When you open the teach menu of a robot while holding another robot the robot you were holding will become glitched and you will not be able to drop it, forcing you to reload the save and loosing the robot you were holding
Also, for some reason I passed the 1k limit of the general storage (at least for poles)

So after I laid out my huts I wanted to move some around but when I deleted a hut with a folk in it the hut got deleted but I still couldn't move the folk. My bot still fed him even though he wasn't attributing to the overall folk/happiness count.

A couple of things I noticed farming:

1) Weeding is done with a shovel. I'd expect the hoe to be used for that, but that tool doesn't seem to have a function, while shovels are used for both digging tree holes and weeding.

2) In the above screenshot Gary is the bot indicated with the white square. While there is a last weed within his red circle work area, he's not able to find it, apparently.

3) Once fertilizer is applied to Weeded Soil, it turns into Soil. No matter how much you plant and harvest from that Soil, it stays Soil, apparently having infinite nutrients and never needing more Fertilizer. So right now we will never need more Fertilizer than there are 'farming plots'. (Hence the bored fertilizer carrier near the windmill). Suggestion: change 'Weeded Soil' to 'Barren Soil', and have Soil turn to Barren Soil after a couple of harvests.

4) When Cereal is fully grown and harvested with the scythe, but not yet picked up, 'seeder' bots will see this plot as Soil again, and try to plant a seed there. The game won't let them until the cereal is picked up, and they will stall. It would be great if they would try to 'Find Soil' that is not blocked by a cereal instead.

5) While technically not wrong, the term 'Cereal' is usually used for processed grains (breakfast cereal, 'cornflakes'). Most people will probably call the stuff that grows on the farm 'Wheat'. I'd also call the 'Cereal Seeder' a 'Wheat Thresher'. A hand tool to do that work is called a 'Flail'.

6) (Not just farming) Storages of the same kind share a resource pool. This allows for a very convenient transport system, instantly teleporting goods from one end of the island to the other by putting resources into one storage and taking it out of another. This just seems like 'spooky action at a distance' to me, though  ;)

can i make request in here..?
==> adding "copy&paste"  function in bot can be awesome

Hey,

is there a way to show and change the working radius of the workerbots?

Hello,

here is a List of Bugs i have encountered in Version 4:

• Storage Limits dont work: Bots will ignore the maximum Storage. So you cant create Bottlenecks e.g. limited Stick production.
• Workerbots dropping Folk (via "drop all") houses them outdoors: You cant pick them up anymore and they start to request Food.
  
• Scooters: Bots dont seem to utilize Scooters. And should they really work in water?
• inaccessible Items: Building close to a Forest often results in Logs and Acorn dropping inside the Building and become inaccessible, stacking over time.

Suggestion i got:

• Storage: Keep the Type, after the last Item was removed, to decrease Micromanagement.
• Gate: Maybe add a Player-Only Gate to restrict Bots to a Fenced Area. (it can be quite a Task to fix Farmers)
• Repeat: The Option to repeat X times would be nice.

Keep up the Good Work

Hey there!

Been fooling around for a couple of hours now (and yesterday, until 3am, it is so addictive to watch the army of little dudes destroy collect and replant a forest over and over again) and noticed a few things, most of them have already been mentioned by other but I will voice them as well:

• Identification / possibility to name or identify stations and storage
• A possibility to copy commands (and use the above locations or names for easy adaptation)
• If the above can work, some sort of standard command book where you can store some of the copied commands for later use
• Read inventory amount and and make a yes or no condition to continue (if product 'x' below 10 continue script, else wait)
• Next to the "repeat" option a basic "if then else" construction (combined with the above)
• Set waypoint that will be the centre of the workrange
• A way to lock inventory type in the crates, so when the last one is taken it will not reset to nothing
• Possibility to customize individual or groups of bots for easy identification

A small bug I found, when a bot runs out of charge when standing in a gate, the bot programmed to recharge it will not do it. It is possible to manually charge them. Also other bots will not be able to use the gate.

Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see what is next!

I found a bug: When you put water into a clay furnace to make bread but then cancel the process, the furnace no longer allows you to use it. If you right click it you drop the items where you are standing. 

Also, I was curious if there was a way to delete structures? I tried most of the tools and can't find a way.

Awesome game by the way.

I noticed something strange with 'charger bots'. I use two bots per section of the map to recharge other bots, so they can charge each other if they run out of battery themselves. I've noticed that when one 'charger bot' runs up to a bot that's out of battery, the other 'charger bot' will stand still, waiting, until the first one has charged the bot that was out of battery. Then the 'charger bot' that was standing still will run up to the bot that was just charged, as well. It looks as if a bot running out of battery flags all 'charger bots' that have it within its working area, and then they take turns trying to charge, while obviously only the first one needs to.

I'd like to suggest the spawn rate of tree seeds to be lowered, or some additional use for them created. Perhaps they can be fed to a 'Piglet', who also needs water (some higher amount of each) to turn into a 'Pig', after which you can slaughter them at a 'Butcher Block', using a 'Cleaver', resulting in 'Bacon', which the Folk will love (let's face it, who doesn't love bacon?)

you should have a small tutorial in the game

I had a bug where a weed & cereal grew at the same time. The bot was trying to harvest the cereal; but could not due to the weed.  I tried to harvest the weed or cereal and could not. 

BTW, this game is Pre-Pre-Pre Awesome!

Could we get the little red ball on top of the Bots head to shire bright red when 'working' and dark red when 'not working' or no power?

A quick recommendation; There should be a way to get rid of any unwanted or excess materials. 

Also, this game is incredibly satisfying once players begin to automate.

The command to "do this until the storage is full" doesn't seem to work for me. When I use that option it just keeps resetting--unless it's only supposed to do it if there's nothing in the storage?

Am I the only one where the cows don't eat grass in version 5?

It seems that bots are no longer able to deposit materials into storage, so far it seems to be effecting everything ( Don't have any cereal things so not sure about that) my forestry are quickly descending into madness because the bots (and the player) can't put anything into storage and they get stuck at the storage because they can't put anything into storage so they can;t complete their loop

I am so happy you guys are updating this game all the time and I think it would be an even more cool game if you had to eat and maybe there were some basic berry bushes you could farm :) thanks guys LOVE the game

Bots get stuck on planted cereal crops when attempting to detect weeded soil. kinda gets in the way of making a autofarm

make it so pressing backspace in edit mode can delete buildings. plz think about people with the reduced keyboards on laptops

Dear dev, i have been enjoying you gone for the past couple of days and i may have found a bug.

i came across it when i fenched off  my tree farm the bots in side needed to be charged by the other bots but i noticed that the bots on the outside recharged them selfs after they ran out.

so to test i loaded a new world and fenced in a bot that was programed to recharge other bots and sure and well the bots outside started to recharge them self. i also found that if you fenced of your seld you could recharge them remotely.

hope this is enough information and ill besure to look for other bugs so i can halp the game to be at its best for everyone.

I had a fenced off area with 1 gate with bots going in and out all the time, a recharge bot was pretty close to these bots, what happened was that the bot ran out of charge right as it got to the gate, opening it and making it impassable for anything else but not occupying it so it could be recharged, not actually sure if this was a bug but an interesting edge case anyway. simply adding a second gate fixed this.

There seems to be a bug where bots sometimes skip or repeat items in their to-do-lists and then get stuck when they can't complete the next ones.

This is most notable for me with a bot that I have set to make metal:
repeat:
    go to ore storage
    take ore
    go to furnace
    place item
    go to charcoal storage
    take charcoal
    go to furnace
    place item
end repeat
I often come by and he sits there, trying to put another ore into the furnace when in fact it would require only charcoal.This bot is the only one who accesses the furnace (no other bot and I don't use it manually).

The same thing happened when I tried to have bots first produce, then store wares (bring two logs to a furnace, then bring the charcoal to storage/ cut up a log and bring the planks to storage/ ...) - they just seem to jump around in their instructions sometimes. These ones I managed to fix by strictly restricting bots to one task (one bot puts logs into the furnace, the other takes the charcoal away), but that seems uneconomic and doesn't work well for smelting metal as the two bots who want to put in coal and ore often block each other.

So far I have not been able to observe this happening on-screen, so I can't pinpoint any possible reasons (i.e. running out of juice mid-action or being blocked by another bot traversing their target or something), but I'll keep an eye out.

Need a way to destroy anything (we obtain too many stone or seed with new gameplay). I submit two new building below.

• Incinerator: destroy anything which can burn (log, wood plank or pole, seed, wood tools, dung too, etc)
• Breaker: destroy anything

I submit that these building take very long time to destroy something, most longer time for the breaker.

NB: and pleaaaaaaaaaseeeee, need aesthetics things (flowers, small tree, etc)

•BUG: My workers have a problem where the ones planting seeds target the first soil, even if there are already crops on it, then they stand there until the harvester comes along and removes it so they can plant. 

•QUESTION: No rush, but about how long till we have sound control?

•STATEMENT: Also, for those of you who have "Straw tower problems" I also have an excess supply of straw "in tower form" towering over my base. So to move it out of my base I placed a box on the far side of the map and have a worker dumping it into a tower over there :D

Repeat until not full would be good to change to empty or added. Because repeat untill not full only works from full(100) to (99) and want to go lower before creating more planks

Love the game. 

I have two bugs regarding the buckets. First recycling the bucket gets my player stuck in place in front of the recycler and I have to save/reload to be able to move. For the second thing, I'm not sure if it is a bug, but buckets seem to be the only thing that I can't store in general storage. This is rather annoying as the way I set up most of my tool worker bots is to fetch a tool from a chest when it breaks. Do buckets not break?

Don't know if this has been reported yet(edit. it has, but still adding details), but... I just update to Version 5, and I'm trying to use upgraded bots to plant my cereal, but they mistake full grown plants for tilled soil and try to plant in them.  The seed is not consumed. 

Not sure if this has been suggested or not yet, but if in stead of Q just putting away the item in the hand if it could also bring back the last used item that would be amazing.

When I recycle a robot when it's holding something it just makes the object disappear, the robot comes out in its components, but the object itself is gone.

EDIT: A queue for machines so you don't have to wait for it to complete the project,  you could just feed tons of materials into it so you don't have to wait, so you can leave and do something else.

When you drop a tool it won't ever break for example:" teaching a bot to pick up nearest tool do something with the tool and then drop the tool again. the bot will never break the tool.

Bug report for version 5, wearing a HAT (by placing in the inventary) and taking it off (by placing it in your hands) destroys the hat, tested with the Top hat and the Plumber's hat.

When milking cows, if you have more than one bot milking, and they get in each other's way one of them skips a instruction and gets stuck.

Maybe a repeat until bucket full / bucket empty?

Every once in a while bots that are feeding folk will attempt to feed the same target, as a result dropping food on the ground.

Just found a tiny bug/behavior. I had a storage crate placed down but added no materials to it, so it stayed as a ghost. at one point I had a worker bot run out of battery inside the ghost block. Recharge bots will NOT path find to the bot and will not recharge it. Reminds me of the problem where bots run out of battery in a gate.

WiseMack, I actually had a nice bug with my worker bots and milking cows. They both were just waiting at the milk depot, and as soon as a cow was ready to milk they both went to the same cow and started at the same time, and both got milk. Both DID get placed in storage so for a while I was getting 2 buckets of milk out of each cow.... although after reloading the world I have the same problem you do, I liked getting 2 buckets of milk per cow lol.

Edit: Just made a second milk storage so each bot has its own, and one will still eventually be sitting in front of the milk storage with an empty bucket trying to add. So the problem is happening when they meet at the cow not the storage.

i am using the linux version.

when selecting a save, the only notice that you have selected it is the noise. add visual identification. same is with selecting a file to load. also text when making a label for a save does not appear. it would probably be a good idea to have that be shown for this specific purpose.

had a weird bug that if u pick up a cow as hes being milked the cow will glitch out and dissapear and reapear as u move, its weird but i could put him back down and he would be fine after that.

I think I found a bug in the Linux version. When I try to save it tells me to make a file, I can make one but when I type nothing shows in the text box. 

Hello, I have yet to know if this is because of the new update or not, but I noticed that wooden tools seem to take less time than metal ones to do work. Is this a glitch?

you can currently plant on weeds, which turns them into cereal crops on top of weeded soil, but the weed model itself never goes away.  This causes weeds to accumulate in tiles.  

*BUG*
Interrupting or a robot stopping mid way through a chopping job, bugs the tree out so it can't be chop down fully.

*Question*
If I press Q to stow an item while teaching a robot, it doesn't stow the item, is there another way of making them? Or do I have to make them drop the item and pick it up again?

maybe bug ,when robot cant find folk without hat he  drops him on ground 

Bug report, hopefully not a duplicate:  If two bots are waiting to remove an item from storage that is currently empty, when a single item is added to storage both bots will act as if they took the item, but only one of them actually gets an item.  This usually causes the next operation to fail for the bot that didn't get the item.  Took me a while to figure out what was happening, but it's easy to re-create now that I know what to look for.  I built a simple save file as an example if you want it.

Now to the accolades... this is such a super game so far!  I truly can't wait to see where this goes!  Thx!

Eric

AMAZING GAME, BRILLIANT WORK, SORRY FOR CAPS BUT ITS REALLY GOOD, I ONLY GAVE 90P COS THATS ALL I HAVE BUT WILL GIVE MORE

can you telaport in this game becus i can if i spam the right click button on the spot i want to go to!:)

Hi,

Game have potential  -  it can become an education game for children / learning programming (no kill, no zombies, etc :) ). Good work.

It would be great if you add:

1. Possibility to change the name of the robot - when they broke tools I dont know which tools he has (A little difficult if we have a lot of robots)
2. More programming features like: exceptions (tool broken). I would be able to program the robot to take from storage the tool itself
3. I would like to specify how many items I can store in the store. I do not always want 100 AXE (I can't program how many items robot should make - FOR loop would be useful)
4. Rules: Basic robot = basic programming option . (The better the robot, the more programming options should be)

ThePessimistGuy

why is it that all the types of storage now is 100 not 1000?

Also..

You can add MEMORY - so robot can save some parametrs catch from exeption. Ofc MEMORY can be install in more advanced robots and needs new resource like silicon.

New robots could be consume some energy like charcoal.. or can by install sollar cell... etc .. 

There are so many ideas in my head... (It depends on which audience group the game is directed to). 

Don't give up - keep working - Success is waiting for you.

Really nice game. but i have some... minor issues? I find very little use for stone and tree seeds, and they tend to pile up... Kinda high.

(where it really shows, is when you auto mine those large stones.)

Ways to solve it might be new crafting recipes. grind tree seeds for fertiliser (or despawn after a while/let squirrels eat them). Stone is a little harder.. but maybe limit the height, make it a limited resource, melt them for metal (5 stone for 1 metal, example)


Im really looking forwards to see how this game develops. glhf ^^

I don't know if it's a duplicate bug:

When you send a robot to recycle an item, the robot still think that it has that item in the inventory, although the visual effect and ability of the item disappeared, and the robot cannot pick up any other item - I tried to make an infinite loop of having a robot recycle a bucket whenever he milks a cow, and then make the robot make a new bucket from the resources received by the recycler, this loop would milk the cows without ever filling up the milk storage.

If you take the "non-existing" bucket from the robot you will get the bucket, and if you place it down anywhere you cannot pick it up anymore.

You cannot do anything with this non-existing bucket.

how do you use a scooter?

my storage

what is the point of the hoe?

it can hoe a piece of dirt but when planted on it has not advantage to just planting on dirt and the dirt needs to be hoed again after you harvest the crop.

I'm not sure if this is intentional, but I don't think it's possible to have a bot automine. It gets screwed up because of the chance of metal ore or stone. You can either have a bot mine and then pick up as much stone as possible until its hands are full, but then it will miss all of the metal ore and it might get stuck because it has to be a multiple of 4 . You could mine/pick up 1 at a time, but then it will get stuck as soon as it reaches metal ore or vice versa. The linear way in  which the bots work makes it impossible to give proper directions if the outcome of an action is uncertain. Maybe there could be advanced bots which can make multiple decisions based on logic you can give it. Maybe I'm just blind and can't see an obvious solution to this. I have only just started actually needing to mine, so maybe not having an autominer won't be a big deal, but I feel like that would be a welcome addition to the game. Great job so far guys, keep up the good work.

Possible bug I found: When a bot goes from storage to plant a cereal seed, its code says to look for the nearest tilled land. But when I was watching it, he kept running back and forth between the storage and a plot he'd already planted. In another instance, I had a robot putting fertilizer on Weeded Dirt/Land to turn it into soil, and he was putting fertilizer on tiles that still had weeds on them. When ShovelBot came around, the tile was a normal soil. Maybe it's to do with layering, but the bots need to look top down.

I'm trying to build a Wood Router.  But when I mouse over the shadow of the router to see what materials are needed, a box with "Foundation" appears and covers the bottom item "Wood Axe".  

Just downloaded the mac version of the game, but the app won't open. Unzipped and copied Autonauts.app to the Application folder, double clicking it just gives me "The application “Autonauts.app” can’t be opened."

my storage

Bunch of bugs.

1 .when a bot looking for something. is looking for something from the center of the map. not in a circle around the bot itself.

2. we should have something to void items and liquids. for example, when I cut trees there are seed that I don't have space for in the seed tray. we should have something to wast the excess of any item. The same thing goes for milk, because in the fifth version I am forced to milk the cows to have fertiliser. I have excess of milk. I wish I have void storage to waste milk. also I have excess of rocks because of mining

3. Metal tools seems unbreakable. I never broke one. I tried the pick axe.

4. When bots check if storage is full or not the should have a little of delay maybe two seconds. because the storages that I am using there is a bot waiting for them to have a space, then they fill them for example with polls, but when the bot that moves the planks to the chainsaw bench detect that one item is missing, it start producing a lot of logs. Maybe the logic should go like this. if storage is full exit the loop and if the storage is not full then check one more time after two seconds still empty then do whatever task. 

I know a little of programming, sorry if it bothers you that I told about the logic since its not my job.

Thank you all so much for this amazing game.

maybe bug, trees sometimes "glow" when grow :/

Today, I obtained 200 stones (because I need 50 metal ores), and my Infamous Stones Storage still to grow...

My storage have enough stones to cover all map, but I couldn't do nothing with them, no road, no bridge, no wall, and no pretty re-use :o(

Is this a bug or not when workerbot use metal axe is slower than the wooden axe when chopping pine tree.

If you drop an item on the same square as a tree you can't pick the item up until the tree is chopped down.

At start of game I clicked the wrong button on my mouse and dropped my axe on tree, rather than using it on the tree.

Upon Save/Load items that robots are carrying seems to get lost. 

Example on version 5 I found that my milking robot loads at the milk storage holding an empty bucket and on the order empty milk. o

orders in a Forever loop:

1. find a cow
2. milk it
3. go to milk storage
4. empty in to storage

I found a bug! In the new update the command "until storage empty or full" was added.  You have the option to select what storage you want the command to apply to...the problem is that you cannot select the milk storage as an option. Thank you for your wonderful game. I've enjoyed playing it! =D

My biggest annoyances:
1. Setting a group of commands to repeat- Would be awesome if a drag interface could be done to set a group of commands to repeat.

2. Finding the nearest object should include looking in storage containers.

3. The ability to manually skip a command would be great.

Overall though, it looks nice, and shows a lot of promise!

Idk if it's a bug or not, but sometimes recharger bots won't recharge any bots, it happens randomly . I've yet not seen a pattern as why they do it, but just letting you know.

I would definitely like to have a "repeat until storage has more/less than xx items", because I get rediculous amount of poles and planks stacked up. Here's how it happens:

>Pole storage is full. 

>There is a workerbot waiting next to it with poles in his hands. 

>Another workerbot takes one pole out for something.

>Pole making workerbot sees that the pole storage is not full, and puts a plank in the bench saw

>Pole delivery workerbot puts one pole into storage, still has 3 more in his hand. Pole storage is full.

>I now have 6 extra poles sitting there.

After awhile, this pile grows to a rediculous amount, and there is nothing I can do.

Version 6 on Monday should hopefully address that. Rather than testing at 100% full it now tests at 95%. 

Thanks!

could you make it so the stone can be used to make a bridge because then people wont get angry because of you removing the fence glitch that allows you to get to over islands and they will have a good use for stone!

Request: repeat n times. :)
