After the Transfer bot update, I finally felt like it was appropriate to start implementing some of the things that I’ve had in my brain for the longest time. This update introduces some of the new high tier recipes that will require more than just hand-crafting. This includes compressing and using crafters to process basic resources into components. To use up these new resources, I’ve added several new big bots, with more to come!
Major Features:
- Compressing and Complex Crafting: These are two new methods of processing resources. Like blasting and refining, these machines require a fuel source and groups of items to be processed. The recipes, however, require many more resources, so I suggest getting some Axe bots and Miners. Along with the new ways to craft come a bunch of new items (currently like 8 I think?)
Minor Features:
- New Ally; High Tier Research Bot: A whole new tier of researchers to unlock the new recipes. As a bonus, this one has some surprisingly high damage and health stats!
- New Ally; Mobile Refinery: This tier also unlocks a mobile version of the refinery. Finally, you can have a way to process oil on the go!
- New Ally; Medium Blast Furnace Bot: Going along the line of the refinery, this blast furnace is also on the go. As a note, both of the mobile versions of these crafting stations use less fuel than their stationary counterparts.
- New Ally; Medium Woodcutter Bot: Need lots of logs? Well this bot has you covered. It can level an entire forest and still have some room to spare!
- New Ally; Emberforge Brawler: This bot is an upgraded version of the Iron Grappler. It has the same chassis, but is made of the new materials and has heated fists for some extra damage.
- New Item; Iron Armor: Exactly like the copper armor, but more expensive and more health. Not much else to say.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a few issues with how enemies were spawning and getting cached, so there should be more enemies allowed in the game at once.
- Put in a new fix for Hardshells not properly moving towards Miners when spawned.
- Make it so that if an enemy is stuck during an event, they are destroyed after 30 seconds. This should prevent events being impossible if an enemy decides to spawn on top of a building or underground.
