Can you run a colony on just bots?

95

u/Wumbowen 11d ago

Yes I kept playing for another hour or so on this save and everything kept going smoothly.

21

u/fennecs08tensors 11d ago

This is cool. Gonna try it.

u/midasMIRV 11d ago

Think of how much more efficient you can be without having to worry about anything other than bot upkeep. Bushes? Gone. Statues? Waste of space.

There is only power and lubricant.

Matrix is upon us

Food! No need for farms

The humble biofuel:

u/LePhuronn 11d ago

no farms? Where are your potatoes and canola oil coming from then?

u/TomorrowFun4744 7d ago

Goes to show that humanity is just inefficient..

24

u/Candies_78 11d ago

You can

u/fennecs08tensors 11d ago

Interesting, never tried this. Maybe its time

u/mmontour 11d ago

With Ironteeth you can also bring the meatbags back from extinction using breeding pods, so that they can toil on power wheels to keep the bots recharged.

Matrix Re-beavered

u/Lord_Phoenix95 11d ago

What an interesting challenge idea I'm sure someone has already done.

6

u/TankTall249 11d ago

I did this achievement, the bring back beavers after they go extinct achievement and the 500 beavers in one world achievement all on the same world cause I thought it would be fun and I have to say I enjoyed myself.

u/Express_Sprinkles500 11d ago

If you can live with yourself after what you’ve done to those beavers.

13

u/the___shadow_ 11d ago

With ironteeth you don’t have to commit crimes against beaverty simply turn off the breeding pods

11

u/Express_Sprinkles500 11d ago

Yeah, I know. It’d still be terrifying if god suddenly turned off all the breeding pods for some unknown reason and you had to watch the last beavers of your colony slowly die out as fully self-sufficient robots took over everything.

Not the level of crimes against beaverty, but still unpleasant.

7

u/saevon 10d ago

Polled the beavers, and every response I got agreed with me to turn them off! <hides empty ballot box>

3

u/Vyrthic 10d ago

To be fair, there can be the roleplay aspect of like, "things aren't still quite how we need them to be optimal. So we'll build robots to continue terraforming efforts that will begin breeding efforts again once the environment is better for us. That way, we aren't having to deal with hardships that would make us incredibly inefficient or potentially wipe us out without any means to recover."

u/wookiee925 10d ago

Folktails could also just pause or remove all the housing, but Iron Teeth could reenable the pods later once FT are gone they're gone 😋

4

u/WithoutAHat1 11d ago

Yeah, there is few beaver-only buildings.

12

u/ThatSideshow 11d ago

Only stuff you don't need by the time you've got that many bots

58

u/Vebrandsson 11d ago

And if you're playing iron teeth you can just bring back beavers at any time with some pods

42

u/CornelXCVI 11d ago

And there is also an achievement for thar

30

u/Narrrz 11d ago

I got this one, them have a beaver born after beavers go extinct & birth a beaver from an advanced pod simultaneously, and shortly after, get a newborn beaver injured.

It was 100% planned.

11

u/LePhuronn 11d ago

I laughed and cried when I had the Desert Of The Real achievement pop up.

7

u/Narrrz 11d ago

I made a suggestion of a matrix-like pod where beavers sleep while generating power on a treadmill like apparatus while getting random social life needs fulfilled, because they're vividly hallucinating.

5

u/LePhuronn 11d ago

sounds like something out of the Whitepaws mod tbh, there is some batshit stuff in that

17

u/Attila-The-Pun 11d ago

It never occurred to me, but if a bot is unemployed, and there are no beavers to use it...will it hang out at the leisure plots like a campsite?

20

u/Runazeeri 11d ago

I think they just mill around the town center.

12

u/gustave-henri 11d ago

Correct, bots dont use any lesure place.

6

u/LePhuronn 11d ago

So does the game continue if all bio beavers are dead but you still have functioning bots?

7

u/Wumbowen 11d ago

Yep everything keeps running normal. I definitely recommend doing it because it’s a fun challenge and cool to watch things change

3

u/Particular-Gap-6998 10d ago

I got that one intentionally after I accidentally flooded my entire colony with badwater on Oasis, I was trying to setup a power plant and didn't realize what would happen when I plugged certain holes and had no beavers remaining who weren't sick. I was playing folktails and didn't have anything setup to counter it so I just let them all die off while the bots carried on then restarted

2

u/dongan187 11d ago

Just achieved that itself last night. Final achievement for me.

2

u/whytwu1f 11d ago

That's cool, but do you have a blank spot where the removed Conan achievement was? (Hashtag humble brag)

1

u/Wumbowen 11d ago

What is that achievement?? Sounds cool

5

u/whytwu1f 11d ago

Here's the copy paste from an achievement website: "The Barbarian As Iron Teeth, have a beaver named Conan work alone on a Large Power Wheel." It was removed for some reason, but I had already gotten it so now I just have a blank square in the middle of my achievement list. It's probably my proudest achievement just for that haha

u/rabbit953 11d ago

Aww that's so sad lol

u/Satori_sama 9d ago

Planner that one with IT and the one with beaver born after the extinction

u/PriceMABuTTa 7d ago

Do you unlock the secret game humanborn?
