very cool sub! bots fucking LOVE getting stuck in the NUT though. they run around but dont try to climb the ladder at all.

Vanilla load order. Opened up a campaign save for testing. These were the results:

1. Tested shuttle ladder: bots went up and down quickly. No falls, no slowed movement.
2. Used SMG to shoot shuttle hull to pieces. Bots fixed it, alone.
3. Damaged devices appeared in shuttle command. Bots fixed them, then returned to normal duties.
4. Drone damaged: bots do seem to mind, but are unable to fix it (no waypoints). Needs manual repair.

I'd say issues 1-3 are resolved. Only other thing I can think of is you're having an issue with mods. As for issue 4, I think it's best to keep the waypoints off so bots don't get left behind fixing it.

All that said, I consider these issues resolved. None of my discord testers have reported your same issues, so there's not much else I can do for you.

Another issue I am witnessing right now is shuttle ladder for bots. They take awfully long time to climb it, constantly falling down. That most definitely is caused by waypoints around ladder.

I updated to latest version and witnessing it in real time. Hammerhead hit the shuttle. Status monitor says hull breach in shuttle ballast. Mechanic just stands there with hull repair job active, but not doing anything.
Another issue is drone. It got damaged too, and bot just stands in shuttle wanting to repair drone.

Hey. Just ran a crawler swarm/escort set of missions. Campaign, 3 crewmen, latest sub version. No issues with the shuttle, the hull, device repair. I can't seem to replicate your issues.

There are a few outstanding issues with gun coverage, the gigalaser is especially vulnerable. Other than that though, most everything is working great and I was able to complete the mission.
Carryonnaire 2 Jul, 2023 @ 6:58am 
Latest version by the time of report.
I just started new campaign with default 2 bots. So first crawler made ship sink and smash whole bottom at floor and ice spires, this is where bots started struggling with repairing it and kept struggling until fuel ran out.
As for shuttle, I was not able to repair it even manually. It was completely flooded even with all hulls fixed, and bubbles indicating that water is coming in still. Bots kept reporting a broken device somewhere inside the hull itself, but I was unable to even see what it is.
Maybe there was something else going on, but why would it only happen with your ship and not with other?

Ok, stress tested all 3 ballasts. Bots were able to access and repair them all without any issues. Doors are working fine, too. Bots were also able to repair broken hull on the shuttle.

Are you updated to the latest version of the sub? Everything seems to be working great.
Venom Steak  [author] 1 Jul, 2023 @ 1:11pm 
@Carryonnaire I'll look into it
Carryonnaire 1 Jul, 2023 @ 3:33am 
If shuttle gets flooded while connected to main hull, it stays flooded forever.
Carryonnaire 1 Jul, 2023 @ 3:18am 
Bots get stuck in ballast tanks. They try to repair hull, but instead they get fold in half in some corner of ballast and do nothing.
Bots have real difficulty using just any door. They open it, it closes, they open it, it closed, they open it again and only then they can move inside
