We’ve added and updated a few things to make Autonauts vs Piratebots the best it can be!
Fixed:
Aaron pop-up after dismantling structure that needs gold to build
Flipping a pallet and putting it on top of an un-flipped palette would cause the bottom palette to have 2 different access tiles instead of 2 the same.
New:
A Bot's inventory can now be seen while looking at the Brain.
Wheelbarrows, Carts and Mobile Liquid Storage can now Add/Take directly to normal Storage. Use LMB/RMB on the normal Storage and it will empty/fill the mobile storage in one go. Power!
Single buildings can now be flipped in Edit mode using the F key.
Paused scripts can now be stepped through one instruction at a time.
More key bindings added.
Planning Areas can now be adjusted to any colour instead of just the 16 presets.
Teams can now be adjusted to any colour instead of just the 16 presets.
Bot Server Folders can now have their colour changed.
Holding CTRL while deleting a structure will now dismantle it and generate all the ingredients so they can be reused. Only works with 1 structure at a time.
Unreserve instruction added to Brain->instruction palette. This allows a bot to unreserve something after it reserved it using a Find. Use with caution
A bot can now be stopped when their script it paused.
"Freeze" setting added to Free Cam mode.
">= % Full" and "< % Full" script conditions added.
While teaching and pressing Ctrl+R or clicking the Repeat button the new Repeat condition will default to Until Hands Empty if the highlighted instructions includes an Add.
Bot Server option added to automatically rename a bot to the name of the script when it's linked.
Bot search added to the Bot List. In the Bot Database, Bot Search has been changed to Script Search.
Updated:
Holding CTRL while clicking database->upload button will now disable auto-linking.
On the Brain, a non-running bot can now be started and immediately paused by pressing the Step key.
The Inventory buttons now reduce in size if there's more than 1 row so the Inventory panel doesn't get too tall.
You can now edit the coordinates of Move To X,Y instructions.
A paused bot's bulb now shines blue.
Save file names can now have extra characters including SPACE.
Bot Server Folder nesting spacing improved.
When uploading a new script to the Bot Server the new script will no longer have "(Copy)" added to the end of the name.
When selecting from a group of bots on the same tile the list of bot names are now coloured by the team they belong to.
A Find Nearest instruction will now display a different Edit Area button when it's linked to an object (sign, converter).
Hovering over a Find Nearest instruction that's linked to an object will now show a red pointer above that object.

Booty! Behold the treasure chest bursting with new features and fixes!
Be aware that any new text related to these will be in English only and updates to old text has only been applied to English. Translations will follow soon.

New - Alt + WASD can now be used to rotate the camera.
New - Destroying General Storage and Pallets owned by pirates will now generate 10 of the object type being stored.
New - Map option to increase the maximum combat bot count to 100 added. This disables earning Badges and other bonuses.
New - When players make their first combat bot a ceremony is now played reminding people to do the combat tutorial if they've not already done so.
New - When editing a search area the player can now drag-create an entirely new area (as well as edit the old one).
New - The tutorial panel can now be maximised/minimised.
New - The tutorial used to disappear if there was any combat happening. Now Otto warns the player about the combat before this happens.
Fixed - On the Bot Database, while editing a script name, moving the cursor to another script would force-stop name editing.
Fixed - First Combat Bot ceremony could crash if that bot was destroyed before the ceremony could play.
Fixed - During the Sharing Programs tutorial the pointer could sometimes not point to the correct, newly made bot.
Fixed - Exit On Fail wasn't triggered when a bot tried to add to a full Wuv Hotel.
Fixed - Using # on a Sign shout would display a Stop Script button on the panel.
Fixed - Grunts in the Trebuchet/Cannon would count towards the total number of bots in the world but they shouldn't.
Fixed - Crane icon would show in any vehicle rollover in Autopedia->Blueprints
Fixed - resources were guaranteed when bots were taking from the cart and they shouldn't be.
Fixed - Drag-creating a new wall diagonally outside of the world would crash.
Fixed - A Find Nearest followed by a Find Nearest or vice-versa would keep the first found thing reserved.
Fixed - Speed values on the Combat bots cards was on a different scale to pirates.
Fixed - The Basic Self Defence tutorial would ask the player to select the Bot Database blueprint even if the Bot Database was already built.
Fixed - It wasn't possible to grab the bottom edge of a 1 tile high search area when it was down at the bottom of the map.
Fixed - It was possible to destroy all pirate structures and not unlock the "Spotless" achievement. This would happen by destroying any boss tower and not doing a save/load before destroying all bases. Save files where this has already occurred will retroactively award the achievement upon loading.
