Not sure if this is a bug but my Clay Furnace isn't making crude bread.What do I do?
Can you fix 2 big problems for me?They are both about the camera. Sometimes when i press the camera controls it doesn't always move when i want it to and when it atuosaves it sends my camera in a random dirtecion and i don't know where i am sometime and i have to press the x button to find my character.
for the first bug i talking about my cursor is in the world and it doesn't do it.the second bug it's like this i be moving the camera then it autosaves then i get thrown in a random dirtecion and i don't even know when it autosaves so i have to hope that i get lucky to stop moving the camera when it does that.Also when it autosaves it makes me think the hame froze.
Thank you. Did your reply mean that the following items that you described earlier this month are somewhere in 21.2? Where are they?
Autonauts Update, December 2017
Now you won’t be thrown in at the deep end with everything available always from the start and no clue what to do. Now you get to complete objectives (or quests or missions depending on your preference) to unlock new blueprints and technology - especially if you look after the folk and help them become more civilised.
The folk now die if you neglect them for too long (no, you can’t recycle them; you build them a nice burial mound instead) but fortunately you can also breed folk (in a U-rated fashion using a special building and oysters, which are washed up on the beach).
Other new features include making the whistle for the bots, a quern for grinding crude flour, pumpkin pieces for food and a timeline that acts a little like a log (diary) by keeping track of your discoveries and inventions as you make them and when you complete key goals.
Merry Botmas!
Perhaps the biggest addition this week is Game Options, which let you choose between a more structured game and more freeform play - and whether to use key features or rules.
This means it's up to you if you want to play with the concept of death when it comes to raising Folk and automating their world - and if that's under the umbrella of the new day-night cycle.
Oh, and Bots are now made in key parts to assemble, which will ultimately lead to the potential for combinations of bods, heads, brains, drives and the like.
On no! Well hopefully I can help. The next time it happens can you send me a file called Autonauts_Data/output_log.txt found in your install folder please? That's for the PC version. If you're using a different version please let me know. You can just copy/paste the contents of the file in a reply here or send me the file using an online file transfer service.
Thanks
Hello,
I am trying to speed up the creation of butter in order to speed up the production of pastries, raw apple pies, and apple pies. I am wondering what I could do with dung that would speed up cows becoming full. Should I leave dung on the grass, or should I convert dung into fertilizer and then put the fertilizer back on the grass, or should I incinerate the dung, or should I do something else? Thank you.
Hmm I have some bad news for you :( As long as there's grass to eat, the speed at which cows produce milk can't really be increased. Clearing the Dung will help make sure there's grass to eat but you can't put fertiliser on it to make it grow faster and even if you could, it wouldn't affect milk production.
Other players have noted that there aren't enough cows in the world to make milk fast enough to keep up with the demand for pies. This is something we need to balance properly in the future.
Thanks!
I noticed that there weren't enough cows too. So, I used MS Notepad to update the save file and I changed most of the sheep into cows, since we only need enough sheep to be sheered a few hundred times to make all of the wool to create all of the clothes that would ever be needed, and I wanted more cows to produce more milk.
I will try to slow down the eating of the apple pies by the Folk with some "Wait" commands to the bots that give them the pies. I think that if there was about 30 seconds of waiting within the Repeat loop of those bots that perhaps the milking of the cows could keep up.
I would like to request that you add two more "Repeat" options: "until ? Storage empty" and "until ? Storage not empty". I would like to connect these options to pairs of bots that would be similar to the bots that shout "Stop" and "Go" so that other bots can wait until they hear those shouts. For example, I would like my bots that make Pastries to wait until they hear "Go Pastries" before proceeding and will stop when they hear "Stop Pastries", but instead of the shouting bots waiting until the Pastry Storage is full or not, they would wait until the Butter Storage is empty or not. By stopping the Pastry makers when the Butter Storage is empty and forcing them to wait several minutes before starting making Pastries again, the Butter makers would have time to make a large amount of Butter. Thank you.
We've been posting a few things here on Itch and on our Discord server about anything new but most of our work has been rearranging existing things into something new players can understand more easily, so it's not very exciting stuff for more experienced players. Having said that we're going to make more of an effort to post more regularly. Thanks!
Hey, thanks for the great Autonauts feedback.
Your problem with bots stopping : It's possibly a bug but more likely the bot's script that's at fault. If you can identify a specific bot that does this, send me a picture of the script and I'll have a look.
Your ideas are welcome and these are all things we'll be looking at in a future version, so thanks.
OK, here is a few bugs I've found.
1. Workbot can't find current beacon if another workbot is staying on it. (After start of algorithm left-bottom workbot will go to upper beacon)
2. Workbot can't find nearest water from lake (I don't know why, because another workbot can do this). From the other hand he can find water from sea.
3. And there are some artefacts on screen sometimes. I think it's when too many elements are on the screen at the same time.
You're issue 2 is probably due to the command "Find nearest Water ?" not being based upon a Beacon but instead being based on the location that the bot was when it was trained, as indicated by the ? symbol, while the bot is now too far from that training location and the training location being too far from any water. It could also be due to this bot being loaded with commands from data storage that had been saved from another bot whose own training location, as indicated by the ? symbol, is too far from this bot . You can retrain this bot and click on that ? symbol to use a nearby Beacon instead of the initial training location for finding the nearest water.
Another problem is that all of the Folk's huts are so close together that if the nearest water is on the opposite side of all of the huts from the bot that there is not sufficient time for the program to find the shortest pathway through all the huts to the water. When you place the huts, you should provide passage ways through them. Leave some gaps between the huts (and other buildings) so that bots can pass through them and the program can find a pathway.
I do not think that the lack of spaces between the huts will "prevent" all bots from walking to the water. I meant that where this bot is located relative to the water might be south of the huts. The red circle is showing the area that the program will search for the nearest water to find the shortest path, and that area includes about 100 huts. The program would calculate the lengths of the paths including those through the huts, but since the only paths through them are moving east-west between the rows (rather than moving north through non-existent gaps between huts), the amount of time to calculate all of those times for thousands of combinations of pairs of the 100 huts is so large that this bot doesn't move. If there were gaps, the program would find paths using them in a shorter amount of time and then could find the shortest path and thus the "nearest" water. The other bot that you mentioned no doubt has nearby water that is not reached by a path through the blockade of huts, and that long calculation and comparison of times would not be as great.
