Mooagain Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Now that we have sweepy, I think it would be fun to have MORE robots. I figure they could be used for sort of niche tasks that we currently have no way to do, or the could help in making certain tasks more efficient. I'll probably also add some drawings later. Also, while I'm making suggestions, it would be nice if the sweepy dock had a conveyor output, that would make it easier to empty. As you will soon find out, I kinda gave up on making them actually be useful after a while. 1. Zappy. I don't know about you, but I like having wild critters wandering around my base. They only problem is when they get into places they aren't supposed to go, like pips in the storage room, or shine bugs in the bedrooms. A solution to this could be a robot that you could set to patrol around a set area with a bug zapper, and just repel any critters that stray into his path. It won't hurt the critters, just make them move away. 2. Worky. It gets kinda annoying when I have a bunch of stations that require duplicant operation, but the dupes are all busy keeping the colony alive. I think it would be useful to have a robot to perform certain operate tasks like metal refineries and suit forges. It would probably need more than just electricity to operate, and wouldn't work as fast as a dupe. 3. Murdery. This is a bit less serious, but I think it would be kind of fun to have a cute little robot that kills your excess critters. This one would be able to swim/fly to reach all the critters. It would be easier to use than setting up a big automatic system to drown them. It would also be quite useful if shockworms are ever added back in. 4. Healy. This robot can apply medicine to injured/sick dupes. He does this by shooting darts to inject the medicine. No, it's not practical. 5. Lifty. A lot of people want elevators. This guy is kinda like that, but he grabs the dupes with flypaper. He also has the a height limit of 2 fully zoomed out screens. 6. Cooky. He can make any meal the grill can make, by putting food in the top of him. 7. Plumby. He rides along the pipes and can safely empty the pipes with no mess. 8. Gamey. Shoots ping pong balls at the dupes as a recreation activity. 9. Composty. Mixes compost in his blender. Much faster than normal composting, but needs electricity.

And also his dark cousin (happens randomly when you make one): Same as Murdery but occasionally kills a sleeping dupe!
