WX Automation

WX Automation

This mod allows players to construct WX automatons. They will work for players pretty automatically, which can greatly save time on farming and logging, and get solo players out of grinding.

New Items (in SCIENCE tab)

• WX automaton
• A multi-purpose automaton that can meet the requirement of plenty of work. WX-78 can resurrect from the automaton. The WX can also use WX-78's circuits.
• WX divining rod
• The rod can switch bots between unmanned mode and following mode. It can also make noise when a bot is near and show all bots in known areas in the minimap in real-time.
• WX divining rod base
• Socket the rod into it and build a few chests around to make a warehouse. The transporting WX will bring cargo here.

Use steps (unmanned mode)

• Build an ocuvigil.
• Build a WX automaton near the ocuvigil, or cast spells with the divining rod on a nearby bot in the following mode.
• Give it a hat to assign it a job.
• Place resources to work on near the ocuvigil, and the bot will start working with the proper tools. Even though there is no player around, plants like trees and crops can still grow, and the WX can harvest or work on them. The WX only works near the ocuvigil. Some types can only work in unmanned mode.

Use step (following mode)

• Cast spell on a WX in unmanned mode with the divining rod, to convert it into the following mode.
• WXs in the following mode can board a ship and jump through wormholes. Some types cannot work in the following mode, but an ocean fishing one can only work in the following mode.

Perishable items won't go into chests. The WX only stores one kind of item in any chest with a corresponding mini sign, and at most one chest with no mini sign, please build more chests around the ocuvigil. For example, if a robot has grass, twigs, and rocks to store, players need to build 3 chests to contain 3 kinds of items; if players want 5 chests to contain grass, build 4 more chests and put 4 signs with the grass image near these chests.
