I made a beginner-guide🌼

[JOHNNY GUEGGU]

After a rather rough start into the game, I decided to make a beginner-guide in order to help others.

You can find it here.

ur guide is not very good half of ur "code" is not only unnesesary but rather harmfull, all this unnesesary junk u weaved in there is costing a ton of energy on the bot, u dont need to check if the hands r empty to have the bot eat u just drop off what ever he is carrying before he eats, and if u want to make sure that it cant bug out just have him drop and use the error pathway of the drop to conclude, all that comparison stuff and counting is useless and unnesesary.
instead of energy check into compare hand contens into drop into count foodinto pickup into eat into energy comapre
do a drop off into energy compare <25 into repeat 3 times pick up food and eat or if ur that scared of messing up to have a constant production, have the bot make the food him self, doing it like this is teaching ppl unnesesary gunk, esepecially if u use commands that ppl will only geet access to if they r new if they allready know how to do all this stuff.
and here is the simple way to circumvent ur maintain fire stuff.
u figure out how many fires 1 bot can provide fuel to in 66 seconds (thats the time 2 fires burn in a bonfire) then u set the bot to count at the first fire he supplys if count is over x he doent drop but waits y, if count is under x he drops and since all fire burn fuel at the same speed, u drop at all the other ones, there is no need to check count on each fire, because either he can supply the amoutn of fires he is set to or he cant and if he cant all the comparison doesnt matter anyways.
if u want to make a biginner guide for this game u need to put out 2 bits of information that anyone who is knew to this needs to understand:
1. dont ever feed a bot batterys
2. get rid of bonfires ASAP and replace them with furnaces as soon as the first tree seed is unfrozen

Nice. I don't think it's very beginner friendly, I think that would take more explanation about how to solve the problem rather than just the solutions, but it is useful to share ideas for how to use the built-in functions and I think you have some good ideas in it!

Wow, you seem know a lot about the game. Where is your guide?

Could ask you the same question OP!

I... am the OP. And I did write a guide. 😉

Your guide is fine. Thanks for putting in the time and work. Those of us who read your post all the way to the link appreciate the effort

I'm missing your 'Holds Nothing' function. What does it do?

I appreciate that you put the effort into doing all of that, but it really was very confusing and I have several hours in the game and have gotten way past what you put in there. I honestly had no idea what you were trying to explain.

Bear in mind that I dabble in HTML, CSS, Javascript and Python so programming isn't completely foreign to me, nor are logical operators, etc. -- that said, your guide was still very confusing to read.

Just some constructive criticism. You have the skeleton of a guide so you may want to go in there and little-by-little add things to it, flesh it out, add more screenshots, maybe even some videos, etc.

Either way, I think it's great that you put all that time into it - just want to make sure your guide will help people, which I assume was your goal!

w00t!

I agree. The guide takes a really complicated route to go in a straight line.

for example:

If you need your robot to keep full energy, It is unnecessary to go through the trouble of checking what is in your hand when all you have to do is tell it to 'drop to storage' exactly once so that it has a free hand to pick up fuel.

If you want to keep fires going, you don't have to check how much fuel is in a fire. Just keep the robot busy tending to 3-4 fires and it will regulate itself.

Thanks op, this game needs a guide, and this one is very well done, even a idiot like me can understand.
