Make and teach robots to automate the world! · By Denki

What's the point the people (or babies)? And how do I clean them?

I got completely distracted from trying to figure out the game when I realized I could build a hut and put a person in one. But they just seem to lay down, ask for food, poop everywhere, and then complain about being dirty. But  throwing them in the ocean doesn't help... so what should I do? And is there even a point to helping them? Or should I just put them in a pile somewhere and forget about them?

The "Folk" in Autonauts will provide players with lots of opportunities to create bots to help the folk.  You can create many types of foods, such as crude bread, fried fish, mushroom soup, and apple pies.  Once you have the foods, you can then feed the folk.  The bread, fish, and pies need crude ovens to cook them.  The pies also need kitchen tables to make pastries from several ingredients, which are later combined with apples to make raw apple pies, which are then cooked to become apple pies for the folk.  The mushroom soup is made in the cauldron, but farming the mushrooms themselves is a task requiring multiple bots to dig them from the ground, collect some for cooking, and collect others for planting back into the ground.  

After you have fed the folk with some foods, they will often get dirty and then need to be washed.  Again, several bots are needed to fill the wash tubs with water, put the dirty bots into the tubs, and then return the clean bots to their huts.

Bots can also be used to make hats and to make clothes, which then can be added to the Farmer-Player, to bots, to animals, and to folk.  If a folk is wearing a hat or clothes and then eats something that makes it dirty, more bots are needed to remove the dirty clothes from the bot before it can be washed.  The dirty clothes needs to be washed and washed clothes that come out of the wash tub wet need to be hung on the clothes line to dry before they can be given to the clean bots.  If you put clean clothes onto a dirty bot, those clothes will become dirty immediately.

Some players enjoy the challenge of somehow getting all 100 folk to become very happy at the same time.  The indicator at the top left of the game shows how happy the bots are and it is possible to get everyone very happy.

Good luck.

Huh. So it's just a type of challenge? The people don't do anything then? Well that's interesting. I'll keep that in mind while delving even deeper into the game!

Thank you for the information, it gives me a few goals for myself.
