Dr.Webber Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Is there simply just not an option to use gears on them is there a quote Does the clockwork react in someway?

Dr.Webber Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 Can you use scrap to befriend them the same way WX can use scrap on themselves as a substitute for gears Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/170976-does-anyone-know-what-happens-when-you-try-try-to-befriend-more-then-the-limit-of-each-type-of-clockwork/#findComment-1863111 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Webber Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 I wonder what goes on canonically in the heads of the clockworks Like what makes them determine that you have enough of their type and go to sleep once you have two like I looked it up to see how many are typically guarding their set piece in case it was some sort of internal rule about how many of them can guard something an exceeds the number you’re able befriend and if they’re asleep, how do they know when one of their kind has died to replace them and although I like the idea of them having more of a kinship with WX they’re all robots I feel like that one extra one would only logically work if you were able to friend them in a group by giving gear to one like how we able to give me to one spider and have other spiders have a chance of joining as well and I’m pretty sure it works the same way with other followers, but spiders is the only one I’m sure about or have a beware WX is the only one that can befriend them and just have it so others can pacify them and why does the number of clockwork of a certain type the WX-78 befriend increase specifically by one in canon (honestly, I prefer it increase by two for symmetry, but that’s just a me problem) also does the limit also apply to damaged clockworks Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/170976-does-anyone-know-what-happens-when-you-try-try-to-befriend-more-then-the-limit-of-each-type-of-clockwork/#findComment-1863201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
