Just beat the entire pack and I loved it! A wonderful challenge for people who love logic.

Only recommendation is that the creator should weld the dev cars to a block of cardboard to be shot with a spud gun when the code is entered because it was causing serious frame-rate issues in some of the levels. The frames got so bad on some that it completely ruined the fun of the challenge, like the second to last level where I had to play the entire level with 10 fps. It was disappointing because the challenge itself was awesome, but I finished it with a headache not caused by the logic.

Also, on the last level there is a cheese where you just fall off the side and flick the finishing switch before starting the challenge. Got a time of 0.050 sec on that one.

If I make lift clip impossible, tweaking the car and doing things to it won't be possible. That's the point of the dev cars in the first place, so after you beat the challenge you can see other solutions to the challenges you might not have thought of. Anything that would prevent the lift clip would also limit that ability (well, maybe except removing the lift but that's a bit too much)

make the roof inposabel to the lift clip
blackmatter1 Sep 18, 2022 @ 8:48am 
lift clip got the solution car

Where's pack 3?

i may have breached the code without doing the code
(i destroyed the piston doors the solution car is in)

finished the last stage with a giant "Nintendo Ultra Hand" jammed into the door frame !

what is the code
1977 dodge ramchager on 38s Sep 10, 2022 @ 11:13am 
dont put your ceashens where peaple can just still them
Starlight  [author] Sep 8, 2022 @ 10:05pm 
Makes sense, it would be very cool to play that but I could only come up with like 7 level ideas so far, I'll see how it goes and maybe work on it.

@liam3000 there is no hammer. I thought it was useless.
RipHunter77 Sep 8, 2022 @ 6:45pm 
not flying drone*
RipHunter77 Sep 8, 2022 @ 6:45pm 
no no not flying ground drone, on ground, trying to make it through a dangerous path with survival mode bots trying to kill YOUR bot
Starlight  [author] Sep 8, 2022 @ 2:57pm 
I find flying creations generally hard to make ai for but it could be a neat idea, definitely something to consider...
RipHunter77 Sep 8, 2022 @ 2:51pm 
but i do feel like it would be quite fun...like building a military drone, no?
RipHunter77 Sep 8, 2022 @ 2:51pm 
haha it would be epic even if you dont, #3 will be awesome either way
Starlight  [author] Sep 8, 2022 @ 2:20pm 
@RipHunter77 that sounds like a Bot Factory 3 idea... No promises!
RipHunter77 Sep 7, 2022 @ 2:39pm 
Hey man you should make a challenge series (of the usual 3) where the bot has to make it through a dangerous course with hostile bots maybe like tapebots and such. maybe even add an automatic (simple rotating scan turret) turret to shoot them. what do you think?
HarleyTG Sep 7, 2022 @ 5:17am 
What's the secret code @Starlight
Max Sep 5, 2022 @ 9:38pm 
same
Captain Jack Sparrow Sep 3, 2022 @ 7:17am 
just jammed the door open and rode the dev bots, great watching the garage transform
Goopy Sep 1, 2022 @ 5:11am 
oh thanks, i forget scrap mechanic is stupid like that
Starlight  [author] Sep 1, 2022 @ 2:29am 
@Kapibaka It does! Scroll down in the chest for some pipe action! Chests in challenge mode have 4 rows, unlike the big survival ones which only have 3 :)
Goopy Aug 31, 2022 @ 6:32pm 
why does the chest have no pipes, kinda wacky
Starlight  [author] Aug 27, 2022 @ 2:29am 
yes.
DogWifComputer Aug 26, 2022 @ 3:53pm 
What is the keypad in the corner for does it open the ceiling to release the spaghetti monster or what
Starlight  [author] Aug 26, 2022 @ 3:41pm 
Haha, good luck on beating that level! It's by far my favourite one in the whole pack >:) Took me a good 2 hours to tune the car enough for it to work but damn is it satisfying
Clifton-Sprigg Aug 26, 2022 @ 2:44pm 
Level 18. WTH?! I love and hate you in equal measures for this one lol. Been trying for 2 hours and still not got there.
Starlight  [author] Aug 24, 2022 @ 9:10am 
If I had attached the demo bots to cardboard, you wouldn't be able to pick them up or modify them or basically interact with them - that only works if the creation is in the build area and is loose. Also you can only start it if you're inside the room, you don't have enough reach otherwise. For it to be cheese-proof I'd have to limit the looks of the levels, which I don't really wanna do
Earlchaos Aug 24, 2022 @ 8:28am 
I really like the Bot Factory 2, great idea, concept but it's even easier to cheese than the first one.
If you want bot builders not to be able to interact with anything put an elevator or a seat on a bearing so that you need to enter the control room first if you want to start it, this can be outside of the buildable area.
Also the demo bots - if you attach them to a cardboard block and only after entering the code a hidden spud gun disconnects it would be fetchable.

Really great job overall, just zero cheese protection.
Starlight  [author] Aug 23, 2022 @ 11:03am 
If you try hard enough, nothing will prevent you from getting them, either way it doesn't matter too much and would only make it look worse
Shrimply Strudel Aug 23, 2022 @ 10:03am 
Well, you should weld the doors to cardboard so we cant get them unless we unlock them.
Starlight  [author] Aug 23, 2022 @ 3:22am 
You're not supposed to get them yet... You'll unlock them once you finish the pack though
Shrimply Strudel Aug 22, 2022 @ 11:41am 
Whats the robot for in the roof? I used my lift and broke it free
Starlight  [author] Aug 11, 2022 @ 6:06am 
Agent West, here are some answers:
1 - I chose white color sensors specifically to prevent the player triggering the checkpoints, which would make most challenges easily beaten on foot
2 - The default is no fuel consumption, however i enabled that for consistency as I wanted a limited fuel system for the thrusters so they aren't on 24/7 but that didn't work out really well so I abandoned that idea and left fuel consumption in
3 - Yes, that panel serves a purpose and you will learn it after beating the whole pack! It's a 4-digit code and you don't have a great chance of finding it by accident though
Agent West Aug 11, 2022 @ 4:18am 
What's up with required white wheels? Would regular sensors not work in most cases? Also I'm guessing it is no longer possible to have engines with unlimited fuel/batteries like the old creative? Manual fueling is not a problem, more of an annoyance.
Lastly, is there really a secret code on the numpad in the garage, or did i just waste an hour pushing buttons? :D
Starlight  [author] Aug 8, 2022 @ 12:38am 
Frenchitoaster, there actually are pipe pieces in the chest! You just have to scroll down ;)
Frenchitoaster Aug 7, 2022 @ 10:30am 
Definitely harder than Bot Factory 1 the last couple of challenges were very difficult and took me an hour or two. My only complaint there were no pipe pieces available making certain levels more difficult. Other than that the levels were fun and innovative.

Bugs: missing glass wall on L8 (9th level in the pack) there is a hole in the glass on the opposite side of the finish.
mkitsie Aug 5, 2022 @ 7:46am 
ok!
Starlight  [author] Aug 4, 2022 @ 11:35pm 
mkitsie, each time you complete a level the garage improves a little. It may not be very noticeable at first but changes to it do occur.
Terran Aug 4, 2022 @ 1:39pm 
Respect! hours of cool gameplay, nice ideas and a beautyful spawn.
The level where you need a small, slim but wide and tall car was pretty challanging but i loved it!
mkitsie Aug 3, 2022 @ 1:29pm 
where is the whole you know, get money and expand garage?
Starlight  [author] Jul 31, 2022 @ 10:53am 
Thanks for letting me know Ahzek, I'll push out a fix for that in a few minutes
amo Jul 31, 2022 @ 8:53am 
and hey there is an opening on lvl 6, in the glass above the blue ball spawner
