New item: Bots
It looks like Bosco modified some Shufflebots for a variety of useful purposes. Here are some of his most successful modifications.
1. Cratebot:
Cratebots double your Clockworks inventory space and allow you to carry one more mineral deposit. Be warned, if the Cratebot is destroyed, you lose anything inside. All Cratebots are fitted with an Energy Repulsor that can push away enemies that come too close, however it does not deal any damage. The Energy Repulsor can only fire every 3 seconds, so large groups of enemies may be able to swarm the Cratebot.
Energy repulsors have no effect on traps.
Cratebots have the same HP as a Mecha Knight Kit of the same depth.
Price: 15,000 crowns.
2. Blastbot:
Blastbots provide fire support to Knights exploring the Clockworks. Essentially a Energy Turret mounted on a Shufflebot chassis, the small size of a Shufflebot limits the size of the energy capacitor and thus the turret's fire rate. Blastbots can fire a single beam capable of hitting multiple enemies in a row every 5 seconds.
Blastbots have the same HP as a Mecha Knight Kit of the same depth.
T1 damage per hit: 25
T2 damage per hit: 50
T3 damage per hit: 90
Price: 40,000 crowns.
3. Merchbot:
Merchbots sell a Knight's goods in Haven while he/she is exploring or offline. Right-clicking (or whatever action key you use) a Merchbot opens up the Shop HUD, with a list of items (and their prices) a Knight has put up for sale. Crowns from sold items are mailed to the owner of the Merchbot, not unlike the Auction House. Knights who frequently use the Auction House may find Merchbots to be a good investment over time, as no fee is required to use them once bought. After setting the area of Haven and instance for the Merchbot, it will automatically roam about in said area and instance until all of the goods inside are sold.
Price: 25,000 crowns.
Very nice suggestion. Although i would alter the price on the first bot that carries minerals to be lower, but overall very nice suggestion. Any changes or improvement is to maybe havesome accessories for these bots and different skins for them too. Also maybe having a few augments like being able to set the pet on the bot to increase the bots fire rate in exchange for not using a pet. Also using these bots should take an inventory slot while exploring the clockworks.
