Improving old mechanical friends

[Phoenix_Cobra]

I really regret that many have forgotten about the friends-mechanics that can be repaired broken clockworks in the ruins with the help of gears. Although they were introduced with Don't Starve, many do not even know about their existence and that they can be repaired. Of course, they are of little use except for attacking your enemies and are expensive (4-6 gears for repair), but for an already advanced world with many resources and a lot of gears, they can be repaired.

After so many updates, they could already be improved in terms of assistants in caves. For example, the same Wagsstaff could use them as robots-assistants for his experiments or Winona, with the help of her skills, repair them and take control of them with a remote control.

I hope that they will be remembered and improved in the future. At the moment, we already have a lot of things that can repair them and make them good helpers in addition to the usual attack on enemies. For example, Wanda's clockwork tools, Winona's remote, Wagstaff's trash, tattered wires, Terramite parts, Auto-Mat-O-Chanic. Just my thoughts on how they would be useful if they were improved:

• Damaged Knight - increased defense and damage, still attacks like before, but now has through damage on enemies.
• Damaged Rook - can shoot rockets, and jump on enemies like an ancient guardian in shadow form.
• Damaged Bishop - shoots multiple charge balls instead of one, and also creates a temporary shield for you.

Or, for example, you can also add the ability for WX-78 in his future skill tree to repair broken clockworks, to create improved and advanced robot assistants Damaged Knight, Damaged Rook and Damaged Bishop. So WX-78 can create his own mechanical army, like Webber with spiders.

I would also like them to remain friends after rejoining the server, and not become enemies for us. It just doesn't make sense if for some reason you were rolled back for a day, and you spent a lot of gears on him, all for the sake of him betraying you in the end
