robot environment?

[Nebelbiber]

I'm on day 150+ and have explored quite a few star clusters, but I've never seen any robot buildings or environment.

Do robots only start to build stuff after the player jumps into the sector? Or is it just RNG/difficulty related that I haven't encountered this yet?

[Shintai]

I haven´t seen any yet either. Even when the amount of chimps increases.

There are some stuff in the Android sector

having a hell of a time collecting chimpbot remains.

squad has assault rifles, the bot explodes
energy weapons, and it explodes

and yeah, I checked to make sure they weren't getting recycled by default.

With the Alpha 17 I have only explored the first half of the starting galaxy so I have sadly not encountered a fully manifested robot enviorment.

On a "robot infested" ship one of my crew "accidently" build up a rouge bot recharge station out of the stacked scrapboxes which looked pretty good and I hope to see more of that stuff soon.

As far as I know it is a rare drop so you will have to kill quite a few chimps to get the research done. The dropchance is not affected by the explosion so keep on going.

There was an issue with the rogue bot environment not appearing/developing.

It is fixed in the experimental branch but there is now another issue with the experimental build, the rogue bot can invade the player ship and create their environment in there. =)

Need to fix that and then release to main branch.

I had same.. passed one galaxy, half way to next before I got them collected. I think "drop rate" is quite low. Did not see any significance depending which weapons to use, there probably is some, but I dont bother to fool around with weak weaps and bots.

I think the droprate of chimp remains is the same as with haulers: quite low. I'm okay with that, but getting two evolving(!) alien core remains is a bit frustrating. I still have only one after 200 in-game days.

Thanks for fixing the issue Aksel. It's nice to see some robot environments :)

Ok I found out an alien in tank captured by robots. The tank shows up machine image that I should be able to interact with it (release?), but currently only given action actually is to shoot the tank.

sounds like a new feature to me!
