AI still really bad?

[Tibbers]

I want to play 2 player coop (we don't have friends :P) and was told about a year ago or so that the AI is super bad and you wont get far with only 2 human players.

[FourGreenFields]

I'm pretty sure that was wrong a year ago allready, and the AI was improved since.

The AI is only really bad at complex tasks like diving and navigating stuff. They do fine when it comes to repairing the ship, operating the reactor, using the coilguns/railguns, and generally doing monotonous tasks though.

You can play through the game right now in single player with only AI, so if you have a 2nd person with you along with the bots things will be great.

still bad keep security officer off the ship still need to stun to get ai out of suits and now they will cuff you and not take them off gg devs

Soldier bots don't seem to pick up weapons to fight off monsters that got inside and prefer to sacrifice themselves by hitting them with their default batons instead.
Bots don't really like to fix holes if there are multiple of them: noticed that there were two who were repairing holes in the top of the ship, while a few were in the bottom of it, walking right near hull holes but instead of fixing them they were just standing there (yes they had welding tools and even had them equipped).
Also it seems that bots also can't repair certain holes, like entrance door on Dugong, area to top right on the captain's deck on Typhon 2 and diving exit area on Remora.

AI are great for sub maintenance but will suck ass for anything outside the sub

[thesecretbookofsaxon]

Ai have poor pathing on many subs. Other than that they can man guns and repair fairly well. As doctors they tend to use up all the medicine on any minir injury, and for navigation they do about as well as the autopilot.

The submarine "blue guppy" is a awesome sub to drive with 2 ppl. Anyway its a awesome sub

[Krom]

the A.I is worth more than a human now

[Vitowns]

Indra sub is best for two-crew i even solod missions with it....

[wearhint]

the AI sucks at everything, cleaning up they ignore half the stuff, manning the guns they only kill stuff way after they enter view range, by that time the target is halfway through the hull. Medical is the worst, if you have bleeding, blunt force, bite wounds, husk inf and anything else, the ai just overdoses you on opiates... they suck. Navigation they just go in circles around a path meaning they bump into every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rock. Engineering, even more ridiculous, they will spend the entire time stuck between a doorway or hatch and the other half repairing the same device to 90% and then waiting for it to go to 80 and repeat... I cannot even count the amount of times i went out to wreck salvage or something and withing 3 minutes the crew suffocates cause the oxygen generator was not maintained, upon returning you find 90% of the equipment on fire because AI is just horrible.

What your describing seems like older build experience.
I haven't seen any of what you describe bar the medic, to which i say control a coilgun till i take over them to heal major injuries.
The captain will circle around a spot if an ice spire is in the way until you destroy it.
They are predictable and if you try to treat them like human controlled players you will be disappointed.
If your experiencing a lot of that, its most likely a waypoint issue on a custom sub. I.e creator didn't add any at all.

You should know that the dev have mad MANY updates to the game helping the AI. One time I threw a EMP bomb into every single junction box and all of the Ai went to quickly fix the critical system failure then went back to the work I told them to do. The AI have great emergency reactions and the medics only use opiums if you have less then 75% health to make sure you stay alive. Another time the AI responded during an emergency I was playing with friends and the AI took me to the nearest diving suit and put it on my close to death character while the whole ship was sinking, treated my wounds, did cpr then went to fix the hull breaches. I would say that AI aren’t as stupid as you think they are as long as you know how to use then right.
