Cleaning Robots

Description
Last tested on game version: 1.0

This is a little minimod that adds new low-level robots, called cleaners. They automatically seek out messy liquids in their current zone, move to them, and clean them up with unerring precision, leaving the floor tidy and spotless.

One reprogrammed cleaner always appears in Grit Gate, with their faction allegiance set to the Barathrumites. You might occasionally find cleaners in the wild as dynamic encounters, which will be part of the robots faction instead.

If you want to set up your own roomba army, you can learn to make dormant cleaners that can be deployed anywhere! You can find the data disk like for most tinkering items, but you can also find scrapped cleaners at the bottom of Golgotha that can then be repaired and made functional again.

You can find this mod's source code on GitHub[github.com], under the GPL v3 license.

This mod was almost entirely self-made, but A Blessed Feline from the Caves of Qud Discord server provided the sprite used for the cleaner. Thank you!

Notes:
  • By default, cleaners will mop up any puddle of impure liquid that is at 20 drams or below. You can configure this with a context menu action, allowing them to target up to 64 drams of any liquid (not just impure) or anything in between.

Essential!! Now I can stroll through Grit Gate without wiping my feet first!! Honestly I put one or two of these in any high traffic area. Honestly it reduces lag too

I haven't tested it extensively, but it looks like this mod works with 1.0 out of the box! feel free to bring it along during your playthroughs, if that's your sort of thing. and definitely report it to me if you run into any issues.

just a heads-up: I'd expect a few days' wait after 1.0 drops before this updates. it's possible it might update same-day, but chances are I'll wanna just dive in and take a few days to play the game unmodded. libndink

I had to do a dungeon at level 8 full of these cleaning robots hostile to me! 10/10

I love this mod, the tile for the bots is so damn cute!

now that the game is ostensibly not going to be getting any more weekly updates until 1.0, I've taken the liberty of pushing through a bunch of save-breaking changes with this latest update! you can find scrapped/dormant cleaners now so you can put these things down wherever you want them. Golgotha has a few, but you can tinker them too.

as mentioned, this update is save-breaking!! if you're using an older save, then you can download the old version from GitHub here [github.com] and install it locally in order to keep using it.

I swear, if The Putus Templar hurt my best boi the Grit Gate Liquid Roomba during their siege on Grit Gate , there'll be nowhere in all the great many cosmos that they'll be able to hide from my wrath.
