I LOVE our new robot maid overlords

[loopuleasa]

I can't stop talking about them

I love automation, and I love not having items on the largest chest: the ground

I join random pubs, and always become a full time maid

Not anymore, I can just plonk down a winbot, or wobot, or 5 and some chests and BAM

The robot overlords give us the utopia we deserve

Gone are the days of Don't Starve Hoarders edition

Your items will be assimilated into our advanced storage solutions

Do not resist

 

In this thread post your before/after of bases before wobot and after

I will post some screenshots when I get home

cursed to look through 20 chests full of junk to find what you need instead of looking at the ground for a few seconds

The Show Me mod works beautifully with winbot or wobot. If you hover the icon of an item you want to craft, any chest containing the materials will be highlighted.

Alternatively, between me and my friends, we have just about every chest skin and we organize based on the skin (black wood ones are for wood and wood based items, archaic chest is for all minerals, monster chest is for magic, etc.)

Wonder how much ONI you've played. Talk about automation. Oh boy.

Nope, I have an intuitive chest system in pubs that utilizes skins.

And I setup signs eventually.

Expandinated scaled chests can reduce your main storage down to like 5-8 chests or so, in my experience. Plus you can group them in such a way that they become quite easy to memorise.

i'm mostly talking about pubs, they usually don't reach CC before regenning and people rarely put signs there and even if they do categorisation often sucks e.g. in what chest do you put fossils?

You need a better maid in your pubs

I can offer consultation services as the forever base estate manager.

Fossils are placed in the animal products chest, as they were once animals.

what's the chest's icon in that case? i'd expect it to be in a rocks or magic chest so you can see why that's confusing

animal products? that's kinda weird, wouldn't it make more sense to put fossils in the rare drops chest? (e.g: together with volt goat horns, tentacle spots, down feathers, spider eggs, etc.)

You can also put it in rare drops (ruins loot, nightmare fuel) or with boss loot (deer eyes, mctusks, dfly scales, etc) as it is technically the fuelweaver boss related

Hehe, I'm doing the same. But we could need some more chests skins, for example a rocky one.

Yeah, and I love the Winonas with their W.I.N.bots. For me the best addition from the update.

I adore winbot for picking up items. Disregarding the sorting abilities (which are extremely good) Winbot is just great for picking up items on the ground, since unlike Wobot, you can simply add more Winbots to a setup to speed it along.

I recently tried it out with farming trees on a mass scale. While they did have issues when unloading/reloading (which is being fixed in the next hotfix, yippee!) they massively speed up the rate in which you can get all the logs off the ground. Pair that with an elasticspaced chest and combine it with eventually dropping every stack on your feet and then warping it with the telebrella allows you to pick up and transport logs at a rate even Maxwell with an optimal setup is left in the dust with.

Old screenshot, but this is an example of what I did. I ended up dropping 8 Winbots per “sector”, and could load roughly 2 at a time, for 16 bots picking up items total.

the mechanical cup chomp sound is also my new ASMR fetish

I sometimes drop my stack of scrap into singles on the ground just to see the swarm of 5 robots pick it up in a dance

by extension though, is the base and the winbot cleaning it real if they're set in a fictional setting? XD

We need a minecart that we use to get to places faster https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1287045214&searchtext=minecart

[loopuleasa]

As an update, I been also carrying a winbot with me and DROPPING my backpack to act like a makeshift chest for winbot to put stuff into

Works really well on the go

 

[marshyds]

The lazy forager is still better since its ruins loot, but having a billion tiny W.O.B.O.T.s scurrying around is funnier

[Zima Blue]

I believe in winbot supremacy 

[Ridley]

Do you ever use the wriggling sack of rock holding? The OG infinite chest? The soot sweeper and toy keeper?
