Patch 33 Update Broke A LOT of stuff!

Post by Jaybone073 »

After the most recent update on 03AUG21 the bot will not longer warp to the system you wish to hunt hostiles in. It opens the ship menu, utilizes the bookmark, selects the ship and then repeatedly tries to attack the ship by clicking the attack button over and over (which is greyed out instead of green) and there is an in-game message stating "hostile ship not in the same system", forcing into a loop where it never initiates the attack or warp capabilities.

Normally at this point the bot would notice the attack is not happening, select an empty spot on the map and then warp to the area. Once the ship arrives, the bookmarks are checked again and a hostile is selected to begin the hunting process. This is now broken as of the most recent patch 33 Update.

Another "broken" item since the update is auto claim gifts. The bot recognizes it has a claim box, opens the gift menu and scrolls around and around never opening a thing. It backs out of the process, waits a few seconds and repeats the process infinitely.

Broken item 3 is auto shielding. This previously worked, however the button where it would normally be in-game to activate the shield menu has now been replaced by the exocomp button. This should be the easiest of fixes.

Mining interval switching has been broken since patch 32. The system will recognize the first ship is mining, make a note of the node and bookmark it. The bot will activate the timer to begin the switch process. From here, no ship is recalled home, not does the switch occur. The first ship goes to full cargo and is recalled then, that's it. Nothing else happens. Ship B sits near home and the node is left unoccupied.

Recent update has fixed gifts and hostile hunting. Auto shielding is still not perfect but at least it tries. Please make sure to check your bot and scan for an update if you're experiencing the afore mentioned issues.

Thanks for the hard work and the quick fixes PiXeLBoTTeR.

Also note to stay on the Stable release, as beta usually has testing done on it
