Autonauts – Tips and Tricks

Tips in addition to Tricks

Basics

Look through the controls. Seriously, I forgot to exercise that since I only idea “Well, I know how to play a video game” in addition to totally missed things similar the push that allows yous to switch your paw amongst your backpack without having to position anything on the ground

Robots tin exercise basically everything yous tin do. This includes the obvious things you’re taught most similar picking upwards in addition to using tools, but they tin also accuse robots only similar yous do, (and if yous develop at to the lowest degree two bots on recharge duty to an area, the gamble of robots at that topographic point needing manual recharging ever becomes extremely unopen to 0%) in addition to fifty-fifty modify a building’s active recipe.

Related to the previous point, travail everything. Both inwards seeing what your robots tin in addition to can’t do, but also it never hurts to come across how novel things work. ALT is useful here, because it shows what yous tin exercise amongst the matter you’re hovering over, amongst whatever yous receive got inwards your hand, since at that topographic point are fourth dimension when when the game expects a dissimilar click than you’d recollect (for lawsuit giving clothe to colonists is done via Ctrl+Right Click)

Use the Autonautopedia (the TAB menu) a lot. Since currently at that topographic point is no upwards to appointment wiki, that’s gonna move your best bet for a lot of info. You tin banking concern tally on all research, what they require, what they provide, yous tin banking concern tally every detail in addition to how to larn it, in addition to non only the recipes but fifty-fifty things similar “put tree seed inwards hole to larn tree”, in addition to if it needs interrogation it also tells yous which it needs, thence yous tin e'er come across easily how to larn an detail you’re looking for.

Bots dig holes inwards a specific pattern. When yous order bots to dig holes you’ll honour that they move out a tile betwixt each hole, resulting inwards a grid pattern. And non only that but the pattern is global, it’s non based on the designated area, which agency that yous should e'er banking concern tally commencement where they volition dig the holes earlier planning approximately them.

Items that receive got non been touched volition disappear after some time. This agency that if yous desire something to non despawn, yous or a bot has to acquit on it. It also agency that resources produced but non gathered volition eventually disappear. I had a 2nd where I watched a ton of Wuv disappear correct inwards front end of me because I forgot to start the side yesteryear side interrogation in addition to didn’t receive got a buffer breast yet to collect Wuv into.

Go for berries, ignore the shrooms. At to the lowest degree inwards the electrical current version (125) mushrooms are extremely inefficient compared to berries. They accept to a greater extent than function in addition to attain less food, thence only berry it up.

Every resources is renewable. Don’t know if this volition modify inwards afterward versions, but correct directly at that topographic point is no resources that’s finite. Even the large unsmooth boulders yous larn from the mountains are renewable: metallic selection on rock deposit makes a rich rock deposit, which yous tin larn the boulders from amongst the chisel.

The respond to every work is e'er to a greater extent than bots. Resources also far? More bots. Production also slow? More bots. Recipe also complicated? More bots. Feeling lonely on a Sabbatum night? More bots.

Pro tips

With spare retention yous tin brand bots function inwards larger areas. For lawsuit a basic recharge bot has 1 laid of Find->Move to->Recharge instructions, but amongst retention to spare yous tin add together to a greater extent than of that (at to the lowest degree 2 to a greater extent than on the Mk1 bots) in addition to each Find education volition receive got it’s ain area, pregnant yous tin multiply the max expanse of a bot similar this.

You tin displace things approximately extremely freely. Every construction fifty-fifty if it’s only a blueprint, or fifty-fifty if it’s a filled storage edifice tin move freely moved around. This agency that reorganizing your base of operations is extremely easy, in addition to it also agency that yous don’t ask to build things where yous desire them to goal up.

For lawsuit I receive got a construction expanse develop really close to my resources, amongst bots told to add together those resources to blueprints, thence I tin only plop downward the blueprints inwards the area, receive got the bots goal the buildings spell I exercise other things, in addition to thence only displace the completed buildings to their intended place.

Bots tin move upgraded on the fly. With a bodypart inwards paw Ctrl+RMB on a bot volition telephone commutation the parts. This includes amongst Mk0 unsmooth bots, thence if yous desire to receive got exclusively the latest in addition to greatest, yous tin upgrade them amongst the proper parts. Of course of report yous tin automate this every bit well.

If the target expanse is a structure, fifty-fifty if yous displace it, the bots volition know where it is. Thanks to this, if yous develop a bot to accept tools from a crate or perhaps the workbench itself, fifty-fifty if yous displace things approximately yous don’t receive got to worry most reprogramming them.

Don’t move fooled in addition to recollect signs are only decoration. The signs genuinely receive got a percentage in addition to tin move useful, in addition to they function generally the same. Basically they allow yous to plow an expanse into a structure, which becomes genuinely useful combined amongst my previous point.

For lawsuit I receive got a grouping of digger bots that dig upwards the turf inwards an area. Since I laid their expanse every bit the sign, I tin position that sign wherever I want, in addition to without having to redesignate the expanse for each of the bots, they’ll only exercise their jobs. However move careful when moving the sign: if the robots are however active they volition however come across the expanse every bit yous drag the sign around, which tin displace them to function inwards random tiles on the way, thence if yous displace the sign only halt the bots first.

The divergence betwixt the signs seems to move that the directional sign’s expanse is a unmarried tile, spell the billboard has a larger expanse than a regular sign.

The hole earthworks pattern tin move ignored. If the soil is tilled commencement (with a hoe) the bots volition ignore the green grid pattern of making holes in addition to instead dig a hole into every tile.
