BotCore [Robot overhaul + Sweepy enhancement]

Enhance Your Colony’s Automation with BotCore

Tired of your robots feeling a bit… limited? BotCore is a comprehensive mod designed to breathe new life into the automated workforce of Oxygen Not Included. Instead of juggling multiple small mods that might clash, BotCore consolidates a wide array of robot enhancements into a single, powerful package. Its primary goal is to make your robots more capable, easier to manage, and significantly more customizable, allowing for deeper automation and more efficient base management.

Revolutionizing Sweepy Operations

The star of the BotCore overhaul is undoubtedly Sweepy. This mod introduces a host of improvements that transform your little cleaning bot into an indispensable asset. Key enhancements include:

• Advanced Docking Capabilities: Sweepy Dock now features a conveyor output for seamless debris transfer and reworked automation inputs that offer finer control over Sweepy’s activity. An automation output port based on storage fullness allows for intricate automation setups.
• Intelligent Sweepy Behavior: Configure individual Sweepy units with unique patrol modes, choosing between standard operation or a more thorough “Cleanup” mode. Further refine their tasks with pickup filters, allowing them to focus on solids, liquids, or both.
• Enhanced Mobility: Sweepy can now be configured to navigate basic doors and even traverse small gaps with ladder or fire pole support. It can also move across more special floor types, dramatically increasing its operational range.
• Increased Capacity: Sweepy boasts larger internal storage and improved pickup/mop efficiency, reducing the need for frequent trips back to the dock.

Expanding Robot Utility

Beyond Sweepy, BotCore significantly boosts the functionality of other robotic units like Biobot and Rover. These versatile robots gain expanded chore support, allowing them to handle more complex tasks such as farming, life support, and even combat against critters. Their digging and building capabilities are also improved, making them more adept at construction and excavation. Furthermore, Biobots can now replenish their power by absorbing Zombie Spores, offering a unique energy solution in specific biomes. A fix for Plant Fiber harvesting ensures these robots contribute to resource gathering more reliably.

Streamlined Management and Customization

BotCore aims to simplify your robotic management. Robots like Sweepy, Rover, and Biobot can be deconstructed more easily, aiding in base redesigns. The mod also features detailed configuration settings, allowing you to tweak many robot behaviors and parameters to perfectly suit your colony’s needs. By unifying these enhancements, BotCore reduces potential conflicts with other mods and provides a more stable, cohesive robotic experience.
