finally the damn thing will get emptied... by machines at least

hi, great mod, thanks so much. Is there an option I'm overlooking to ask sweepy to pick up only non-liquids? I get a lot of debris under liquids, and having sweepy mop up an ocean isn't practical. But I do want the debris gathered.

Jarkeld, it sounds like Klei broke something with Sweepy so they're going to have to fix it on their end, this mod is based on the stock Sweepy so any bugs there will trickle into this version as well..

Anyone know if the reports below about batteries not charging is still an issue?

Also, just so people are aware, unless the mod is completely broken I will not be updating it until the DLC is fully, 100% released, I just don't have time right now to be able to update it every time they release a new version so I'm waiting. I will update this and my other mods when the DLC releases, I own the DLC and want to use my mods when I play again after the full DLC release.

Original sweepy created by base game behaves the same way. checking if i disable the mod if this continues with base sweepy.

yep, mod disabled sweepy behaves the same way.
seems to be disturbed by critters nearby.

but even for sweepy's in a room with no dupes or critters get bothered.

bot starts working if you pause for ~15 seconds, and unpause. but eventually stops again

stops sweepy operation on version U39-490154-5
the sweepy object just sits put, occasionaly having a status of "bothered reaction"

on game start the sweepy functions created by this mod, and when it returns to dock once, it stops working.

also it says the sweepy battery is low

for some reason the sweepys are just idleing not doind anything and every once and a while are sweeping but not offten

sweeper battery very slow recharge or not recharge, mod bug?

dlc compability please

plss DLC pls

Please DLC?

DLC?

Love the mod! however just a note it seems like the sweepy can't put stuff into it's own storage if there's no conveyor or the conveyor is full, even if it says the dock is empty

[h1]Note to those who say the mod doesn't work:[/h1]
This adds a new sweepy dock, it is found under the shipping tab

For those that have never used a Sweepy before, It's basically a slow-moving Dupe that only cleans up one area and can't go up ladders and such. According to the wiki it also doesn't go further than 30 tiles away from its sweepy-storage. I suppose it could be used to collect plant-stuffs that grow in a sealed-off Hydroponics farm after they've dropped off the plant to free up dupe-labor and to keep the atmosphere from leaking out all over the base, but again it can only move across a flat surface. Might be good for cleaning up after Pincha Pepper plants if you don't feel like having Dupes do it. Granted, the Sweeper can do it, too, and much faster.
It's kinda like inventing R2-D2 to do repairs to a starship AFTER discovering Nanotech and infusing the entire ship with nanites.

I think I'll get this even though I haven't used sweepy yet and probably never will

这个看起来有点牛哎

Is there any sweepy mod that allows Sweepy to carry different items? Ie Like Regolith and malific rock.

Not sure if it has been said but @bokonon you need to specify the size of the dock as currently its boundary is only 1x1 bottom centre instead of 3x2.

Am I doing something wrong? I can't seem to make this mod work

@isochronous thank you for the info!

Also, even if you enable the conveyor output in Zonkeeh's mod (though that seems pretty pointless now that I know his config applies to your dock), it doesn't seem to cause any problems. It may depend on the loading order, not sure.

@Bokonon I didn't realize that by "compatible with Zonkeeh's mod" you meant that his config actually applied to your dock. I've installed it, tweaked the config, and it seems to be working great so far. I withdraw my request for more configuration.

As for Con Agni's request, my point was that if you want your liquids going into a piping system rather than into bottles, the fluid shipping mod gives you a way to do that. I mean, they'll still go into bottles to start with, but you can then automatically empty those bottles into pipes.

@Bokonon i know, i cant see the conveyor output,true, i used wrong therm, sorry.

Not a huge thing, but I'm pretty sure Sweepy pulls 240 W not 240 kW.

Can't see the output even the conveyor overlay is turn on

@Con Agni: It's a conveyor output, you should see it in the conveyor overlay or when you are laying rails.

@isochronous: Martinezzzz doesn't need any mods, I've mopped spills and Sweepy has handled the bottles just fine. They also go on conveyor rails as bottles just fine. The description specifies that Sweepy and the Dock will work with bottled liquids.

@isochronous: Yes, Sweepy is incredibly slow. This mod makes him seem OP to me as-is so I won't be looking to add more configuration to this mod. Besides, from a technical standpoint, Sweepy and the Dock are two separate types, my mod only adds a new Dock, I don't touch Sweepy itself.

That said, try Zonkeeh's mod I link to in the description. It can expand Sweepy's radius and other things and *seems* to work fine with my Dock, YMMV as I didn't test it much but his side-screen came up for my Dock. Don't enable conveyor output in his mod's config though, I have no idea what might blow up if you use that functionality and my mod at the same time :P

(Damn 1000 character limit ...)

Con agni, what do you mean you can't see the output? Martinezzzz, there is no liquid output, but if you combine this mod with the fluid shipping mod you can get liquids from sweepy into pipes.

Bokonon, this mod is awesome, thanks so much for it! I'll second the request for a config file though. I'd really like to make sweepy actually useful for cleaning up large areas, and with it only picking up 10kg at a time it will take YEARS of cycles to finish. Heck, he's been trying to clean up just three piles of sand for the last ~60 cycles and he's only half done.

Sadly cant see the output =(

小机器人太可爱了

Great mod, this should have been in the base game.

Lets Test it.. Hope There is a Liquid pipe out of it to :P

@Bokonon this mod looks good but im using the sweeper arm and sweepy right now I found a way to conserve power.

@Lord Helios, Yes technically that's correct, but not in the way I was wanting. I wanted to only take from the Sweepy Dock and not from the surrounding environment as well. My Auto Sweepers always take what's laying around first leaving the Dock for last (even with the Dock's priority on 1), which is not what I wanted. Regardless, this Sweepy's Dock is somewhere in between, it's more costly (to build and power) than just the original dock and not as cumbersome as using sweepers and loaders as well.

"If the Dock can't be emptied by an autosweeper" actually it can be emptied by a autosweeper, you just need to make the container its sending it to a higher priority than the sweeper.

I don't know how other people will use it, I'm using it to clean up in remote places to centralize all my sweepings in one spot. I'm not using containers, I send it via conveyor rail from the Sweepy's Dock to a chute where I just drop it all in one big pile.

yup.- is just a idea for the future :D but atm i use the sweeper and the ,container?

Anything is "possible" but sorry, I'm leaving this the way it is for the forseeable future. If lots of other people want the balancing changed I would consider it but at this point the mod hasn't even been on Workshop for 24 hours.

less energy.. because with 1 auto sweeper and the ... what ever it called youre at 240 energy use for this 2 :D
and maybe a option, ressource for sweepy. that you can select it.. dunno ifs possible xD

@TioTrix There are no settings to change. What behavior are you looking to adjust?

can i change the settings somewhere?

very superb

Congrats for your new mod! Cheers
