Space Station Roomba

Not Enough Votes

A little cleaning robot that does its thing around a station.

It could also have a small inventory for lost things that it has collected.

It will need a charging station.

It could make a little whirling noise when it is nearby and beep occasionally if it is being held up.

I like this feedback

Do not mind us, we are just here to clean.

I would use them for hacking :)

Sounds like a concept for a mod. I can imagine wandering through a station and finding a pit full of dead roombas with their collected bits of dropped stuff, components, datapads, suit supplies, cans of clang cola and clang coffee and so on.

But I'd rather have the devs work on more critical new features and old bugs :)

Essentially the Roomba is another NPC, it is in keeping with the next vertical slice. It would have a behavioural tree like the other NPCs that KSH is working on. It would be an opportunity to add an NPC entity that was not a human or a vessel. It should be fairly easy to implement by comparison to the human NPCs it would be non-combat and should catch your eye now and again. This may appear as superfluous to gameplay, but this is the type of thing that can make a game fun, it could be part of a story element where every living being on board is dead and yet the Roomba is still moving around. It could hold a clue to the mystery that has taken place.

Empty worlds are boring, they need things in them to react with, and preferably animated things.
