The roomba...

[Fishbone]

The achievement is definitely possible, but I watched it go from 2.66 to 2.88 to 2.9 over 8 hours because the AI will:
-hit the wall
-start turning away from the wall
-give up and start turning back towards the wall
-break down

It would be better if it was coded to never do a guaranteed u-turn for a few seconds after a wall collision since it also tends to get stuck, then whip back around and get stuck back in the same place.

Alternatively, some regenerating hitpoints might be nice since it seems like it takes about 10 bonks to crash.

Thank you!

Like arachnofobia, I wish there was a toggle to not see it crashing...
I find it unsettling.
And roomba betting stuck because of the random motion logic too dumb is also unsettling.

For the achievement, it seems handy to move the Scale slider all the way to the left (and/or use a bigger screen...)
But I'd rather wish there wasn't this achievement based on something unsettling,..

Can confirm that selecting the lowest scale seemed to do the trick, with an overnight run.
Didn't get the cheevo until I reloaded the game though, so its possible you earned it, but it doesn't check that often?

best advice for the Roomba, scale Lil Silvy down to the smallest possible size, this way there is more room for her to roam around

[Rei Niwa]

There is an easy way to get the achievement. It's by babysitting her for 3 minutes while you stay in the settings and adjust her scaling every time she gets stuck. Keep her at small scale and if stuck change her scale to maximum and back to tiny, this pushes her out of corners/walls.

Hope that helps.

Please for the love of all that's holy make the damn thing do a u-turn when it bangs into a wall, not "turn 2.3 degrees and bang into the same wall nine more times in a row" kthx

Nice! that totally worked for me! thanks! now i just have to catch silvie streaming lol.

I got it having her scaled tiny and starting the roomba activity in the middle of my screen so she travels pretty far away from the walls. hope this helps

This is exactly why I stopped using the roomba. after hitting the exact same wall only to move an inch over and do it again multiple times I took the roomba away.

[drakesrage]

I've watched her hit the wall not turn any at all and just ram it straight on till it breaks

[The Tentacle Magician]

Bit late, but just wanted to add to this. I have the scale all the way down and used my 55" TV to get the achievement on the first try after trying a few times on my monitor. Didn't see the roomba break down once, but she did get stuck a few times.

I find this one kinda unfair with how how much RNG there is to it. Three minutes is a long time to just leave up to fate unless you have a big screen for her to travel across. It also seems like she gets stuck on one side and moves toward corners a LOT though, and even a large screen won't help if she deadlocks herself in the corner.

I set the game scale to the smallest possible and left her unnatended for 30 minutes, came back to having obtained the achievement. Did I just get stupidly lucky?

[Doctor Hentai]

Doing this with lowest scale almost a week, still not get achievement...
Devs plz fix this, its pointless to do for so long time just for the achievement, need to give her faster turning move after hitting border of the screen.

what's your monitor's resolution? On mine (1920x1080), on the lowest scale, it feels impossible NOT to get the achievement

Mine is 1920x1080 and i got it on the lowest scale.
It just take some time, but it's possible :)

Scale her to minimum and right before she hits a wall to maximum - that way she will be big enough to already be outside of the screenbounds, so the "ai" will lead her bag in the direction of screen center. As "bonking" the screen edge is tied to hitting it from inside the screenbounds, it doesn't seem to count as a hit at all (at least you won't get the bonk sound).
