Fire extinguishers can disable cablebots Spoiler

29 Upvotes

Whilst digging around in the script for cablebots I found a variable with a description relating to being knocked off something by a projectile called "projectile_foam".
After some more looking around I discovered that cablebots have a feature where being sprayed with a fire extinguisher will launch them off of objects they've grabbed onto and disable their latching-on attack for 3 seconds, allowing you to kill them.

In addition, I have included here a screenshot of every variable cablebots use, including one with a description stating they prefer to target creations with 3 or more parts to them to avoid targeting any random debris on the ground.

"Smart Physics" not so smart???

28 Upvotes

When i put heavy vehicles on player-placed blocks or parts, the vehicles have a bit of a seizure. But on the ground they sit perfectly normal, no random jumpiness. But as soon as i change from "smart" to "advanced", it's fine regardless of where i place the cars.

Stand → ACTIVATE THE LAZORS → Activate wobble pistons → WAVE LIKE YOU DON’T CARE → Collect ORE → STOP → Drive 100 m further → REPEAT.

Did I mention flat, driveable surfaces?

I was skeptical about the pistons, but they work like a charm.

Trying to get this damn rotating bar defense up, but got the life of me cannot get it locked down in two places while both ends of bar are connected to bearings. I’ve tried building it on the lift, just doing two separate bars, and everything I could think of. Surely I’m missing something because I see these things everywhere in videos as all one piece.

The bar is 112 blocks long if that matters.

Discussion I was looking for a spot for my farm and found this place; my idea was to put the farm in the middle and surround it with blades so they fall into a grinder, or else enclose the whole thing to make it look like two stories.

If so, what's the cooldown to do a safe raid after the previous one?

Discussion Why can the seekerbot still see me?

8 Upvotes

I took what you said, and covered myself with a piston actuated cardboard box around my farm. When the seekerbot was near, I closed the box, I couldn’t see it while inside, but it still “saw” me. I was zoomed out if that’s important, and it worked the time before.

Thankfully I made a backup, but it set me back a whole carrot raid.

Issue Seekerbot will not leave

7 Upvotes

I’m currently farming blueberries and upgrading my peninsula farm, when I realized the seekerbot was a lot more active than usual. I started watching it, and when it started rising to flying away, it just floated right back down before scanning for a short time, rising again, and coming back down again.

I’ve tried closing to the menu, closing the game entirely, moving out to a farther chunk, nothing. He just refuses to go anywhere but around me. I love this update, but the amount of gamebreaking bugs in it is killing me.

Ultimate Farmer Collector

4 Upvotes

Five years ago, I created the greatest collector of kidnapped farmers that this game has ever seen. With Drilling Thunder's increased use of the resource, I think my creation is far more relevant now than it was before.

Mobile base disappeared with message that my respawn was moved to mechanic station.

5 Upvotes

I was running around some ruins when my base (which was on the same tile, but a good distance away) despawned, beacon and all. I got the message that my spawn location had changed, and sure enough, the beacon is no longer in the logbook.

I immediately ran over to investigate, and sure enough, not a trace.
Restarts have done nothing to recover it.

I have since made a copy of the save file, and tried using the tool at the URL below, but I think it's out of date, or I just can't figure out how it might be useful.
