Bring back Bot (Golem) repairing (return coghead maintanance station) or even expand it to FT

54 votes

Golems were great because they could be repaired and maintained to last longer. Please, please bring back repair kits. Maybe you could tweak it a little bit and instead of having the golems go to the station when low on durability, you have workers go and clean up the parts and put them back together.

Give the Golem Assembler an alternative recipe that refurbishes/repairs destroyed/damaged golems.

This would allow players to build the number of golems they need, and then switch modes and just maintain that number without micro-managing

perhaps they just increase the lifespan of golems? i like the idea of making them last longer, but they already last 70 days, so perhaps it's for the best they eventually must break down.

I just got robot beavers and noticed they solely take damage, which is fine but for a quality of life improvement maybe you could make some kind of repair station instead of hafting to build a whole new robot beaver.

other then that I am very impressed by the quality of the game, I got it 2 weeks ago and have had zero problems so far, nice job.

a place for barrel bots to be serviced and get their durability back up (beaver only) but over time durability can only be gotten to a certain level (i.e. after a few days you can only service it up to 99%)

If the Bot Parts Factory included a new recipe ("Spare Parts" perhaps) that could be used to repair the durability of the timberbots, plus either a new building or new recipe at the Assembler, I don't think it would unbalance the game too much to allow for bots to be, effectively, immortal

It would be nice to have a repair facility for bots. That way bots that break down can be repaired so they can be used to make more a bigger bot population. And maybe an order amount so they make so many then stop. Right now i can only get to about 15 with one bot assembler.

A building where golems can go to get oiled to extend their lifetime and give them a boost.

if you have the technology to make something you also have the ability to repair it. it makes no sense that you cant repair robots. For the cost of materials to make them and with the rate of decay they just aren't worth the time or effort for the little they provide. To make 2 robots efficiently takes: 4 Lumber mills, 3 Gear workshops, 1 scavenger flags, 1 smelter, 1 Aquatic farm house, 1 water pump, 1 refinery, 3 Bot part factory, 2 bot assemblers and a ridiculous amount of trees. without the ability to be repaired bots are a wasteful resource sink with a high cost and very little return on investment
