Can someone clarify for me what the "Container" is that is tested for being empty here? I don't thing it is a "Storage Container" because if it was, I think there would have to be a question mark ? that we could click onto to identify which "Storage Container". I don't think it is a "Crude Backpack" because the Backpack only really works when it is in the "Upgrade" slot for the Farmer, and it cannot be added to the "Upgrade" slot of the bots.
I found in the Change Log that "A container at the moment is a Basket".

Well, I tried that link but I could not get it to work very well. I was too hard to scroll through all of the responses since the scroll controller was just a tiny point. I guess unless you already know how something out there works, it's a challenge. If there were some instructions for using it, I might try it. I like the way that itch.io works instead.
Okay, I have now posted to Discord with a new image of my Island and a save file if anyone is interested in loading it.

Hello!
1. No but you can stack them 3 high now achieve the same thing.
2. In the next version you can!
3. All artwork is considered placeholder. We'll be hiring a professional artist soon hopefully :)
4. Wow! Your level file must be huge. Yes, you can post it here or we have a place on our Discord channel called #show-off-here which would be perfect too.
Thanks
Found a Bug. I still don't like how the "find nearest" command works. It should be location based and remembered by the bot (like a global variable) until it is overridden with another "find nearest" command. Instead, it seems to go by each individual item's location. When the "problem" bot is in the right location, it will repeat "find nearest" and "pick up" until it's hands are full, however, it will not pick anything up. Another bot with the SAME EXACT CODE will work though. I have a theory of why this happens. When the problem bot finds nearest item:X, it remembers the location of that same item. This happens even if it repeats with another "finds nearest" command and even when the bot is stopped and started again. What the bot could be finding is another stack of the same item in a different location that I intentionally did not want him to move to. The "find nearest" command is meant for a bot to move to that item, but what if the items are all in one stack? I propose a new line of code to be added. It should be "Pick up Item" and be given a master list of all items (or however it's programmed). This would solve the issue of having to repeat a find nearest command and waste time repeating unnecessary code. I am open to other suggestions/solutions so please msg me back if you find something.
Unfortunately we've been so focused on other game elements that the "Brain" screen hasn't really changed much since the last version. With so little development capacity we don't plan on doing much to it for the next public release. However realise this is an important part of Autonauts and we will DEFINITELY be giving it a complete overhaul at some point to include things like If/Then and arithmetic operators so you'll hopefully be able to make really interesting scripts :)
Thank you for replying. I was not asking for any changes to the "Brain" and I don't expect that you would make changes there at this time. Actually, I was scared that there might be too much done there that would make the game "simpler" for many new users that don't understand scripting. Please just give us one ordinary screenshot that would reassure us that the current layout of scripting remains mostly the same. Thank you.
allready tried it.After freeze and turn white i can still open menu like normal.
i forgot to save the crashed log file but i give log file before crash http://pasted.co/382f489b
Just has one output_log.txt http://pasted.co/d95f6074. Just ignore other word.its just other language.
I suggest that you check that the right mouse button is working on your computer. Use other software than Autonauts, such as Windows File Explorer. Right-click on any file to see that a window opens with the options "Open, Rename, Delete, Properties, etc.". If that window does not open, then the problem is with the mouse and not with Autonauts.
I presume the "bot making other bots" tries to catch the "learning one" because it wants to pick up the new one it just made and put it into bot storage?
If that's the case you can make sure the bot storage is outside of the "bot maker" search range. To do this you can either move the bot storage far away or use a Beacon to adjust the bot maker's search range size. If you've not used Beacons before, create one at the bot maker and place it at the center of where you want the bot maker to search. Then go into teach mode for the bot maker and click on the round icon on the right of the Find Nearest instruction. This will allow you to select the Beacon you just made. Now all searching will be restricted to the range of that Beacon. If you want to adjust the range for the Beacon just pick it up and press Z.
It takes several steps to make string. First, you need to build the "Bash Research Station" from the "Research" group of equipment. The "Bash Research Station" is made with two logs and four planks. Once it has been built, you need to use a shovel to dig up about 10 weeds. Add the dug weeds to the "Bash Research Station" until the research has finished and the blueprint for the "String Maker" appears in the "Misc" group of equipment. The "String Maker" is made with six planks, four poles, one gear, and one stone. Once the "String Maker" has been built, you then add five dug weeds to it to make string.
I'm sure that you need "infinity storage" because you have your bots "Repeat Forever" their tasks such as cutting down trees and fishing for salmon. I suggest that instead you add some bots that use the "Shout" command and other bots that use the "Repeat until hear..." command, such as I have described in the past and is shown below. By doing this, you will collect all of the items that you need and will not create "infinite" amounts. Having too many items will eventually make your game take over half an hour to load, which is not fun to wait before you can play. (I have also described this problem in another post: https://itch.io/t/265312/autonauts-take-half-an-hour-to-load)
-----
I have several Bots set up such as those shown below for my "Fishing" group. I have one Bot named "GoFish" (wearing a Party Hat) that waits "until Salmon Storage not full" and then will "Shout GoFish".
I have one Bot named "StopFish" (wearing a Guy Fawkes Hat) that waits "until Salmon Storage full" and then will "Shout StopFish".
I have seven Bots named such as "Fish1" that wait "until hear GoFish" and then will "Repeat until hear StopFish" the two steps "Find nearest Deep Sea Water" and "Use held item" (which is the fishing rod).
I have three Bots named such as "Fish>Stor1" that move the Salmon to the Salmon Storage.
I have two Bots (wearing Traffic Cone Hats) that rewind the other Bots.
I don't use the Linux version but I would not be surprized if your game takes forever to load from your save.txt file (or whatever it is called in the Linux version.) If so, I suggest that you review this post and take whatever action is similar for Linux so that your game will keep running.

i is overwritten in this Java construct? Interesting. I'm only (a little) familiar with Lua and Python and both would treat the two i variables as distinct local variables.
Python:
text = ""
for i in range(3):
text += "\n{}: ".format(i)
for i in range(2):
text += "{} ".format(i)
else:
print(text)
outputs:
0: 0 1
1: 0 1
2: 0 1
Lua:
text = ""
for i = 0,2 do
text = text.."\n"..tostring(i)..": "
for i = 0,1 do
text = text..tostring(i).." "
end
end
print(text)
outputs:
0: 0 1
1: 0 1
2: 0 1
Cool a fellow Lua coder!
But you don't necessarily have to use tostring() here, the following should work as well.
text = ""
for i = 0,2 do
text = text.."\n"..i..": "
for i = 0,1 do
text = text..i.." "
end
end
print(text)
Lua always tries to convert the i here into a string when possible. I think nil wouldn't get converted, and obviously lists can't get converted.
The same should be possible when adding a string that only contains numbers to an integer, the string gets converted to a number automatically.
local ans = 12+"012" print(ans)
The 12+"012" returns 24 as a result, and so this prints in the next line.
The "012" get's converted to 12 as if you would do tonumber("012").
This usually saves some time when coding for me, so just a tip (I'm way to happy to see other people using lua XD)
true - conversion works without "tostring()"
Nevertheless, the Lua guys recommend using it. That way, the interpreter doesn't have the extra task of finding out if a conversion is required or not. You state that it is.
The string.format() command would have been another option. Actually the nicest way to combine text and data into one string.
