help Autonauts FAQ
Do you need to know a programming language to play Autonauts?
No, players teach robots through a visual sequence of instructions rather than writing Python or another text-based language. Concepts such as loops, repetition, and conditional behavior emerge through recording and arranging actions.
Why do Autonauts robots keep stopping?
Bots may stop when a tool breaks, an output container fills, a searched-for item is unavailable, or their programmed area no longer contains a valid target. Reliable automation therefore requires tool replacement, storage management, and carefully defined search zones.
What is the purpose of colonists in Autonauts?
Colonists consume increasingly sophisticated goods and generate the progression resource needed to unlock new technology. The player automates food, clothing, housing, and other services rather than directly controlling the colonists' daily work.
What does Autonauts vs Piratebots add to the formula?
Autonauts vs Piratebots is a separate game that applies bot programming to defense and combat against invading pirates. The original 2019 Autonauts focuses more heavily on peaceful colony production and technological automation.
