Autonauts: Planting Mushrooms Made Easy

Mushrooms are a type of wildlife in Autonauts that grow in soil and can be harvested with a spade. To get more mushrooms, players need to plant loose mushrooms in holes. This process can be automated by programming farming bots to handle planting first and only store the remaining loose mushrooms. Players can also automate the harvesting and storage of harvested mushrooms. However, some players have reported issues with the auto-dig command, which may require manual adjustment to align with the player's grid. Additionally, players can use specific commands to manage their mushroom farms efficiently, such as prioritising replanting patches to avoid running out of loose mushrooms.

Mushrooms are wildlife that grows in the soil and can be harvested with a spade

To automate a mushroom farm, you can program your farming bots to handle planting first and only store the remainder. Here is a sample program:

• Repeat forever:
• Pick up loose mushrooms until hands are full
• Move to the nearest loose mushrooms and pick them up
• Repeat until hands are empty
• Move to the nearest hole
• Use the held item

Additionally, you can create a backup box with at least 10 items to reseed your farm or expand it if something goes wrong. This saves your bots from travelling back and forth to the box to drop off goods, and it ensures that anything in storage is safe to use as bots only drop off excess.

When harvesting mushrooms, it is important to note that they should not be planted right next to each other. Instead, leave a space between each plant up/down and left/right in a lattice shape. This will prevent the harvested mushrooms from vanishing.

To get more mushrooms, plant loose mushrooms in holes

Firstly, you need to dig up the mushrooms. Once you've done that, you will have 1-3 loose mushrooms, depending on the tool used. Next, you need to store these loose mushrooms. Then, you need to dig over the earth to create a hole. Finally, you fill the hole with a loose mushroom. This process takes 3 minutes.

To automate this process, you can program your farming bots. To avoid a situation where your bots run out of loose mushrooms to replant, they can be programmed to handle planting first and only store the remainder. This can be done by programming them to repeat the following actions forever: pick up loose mushrooms until their hands are full, move to the nearest loose mushroom, and pick it up. Then, they should find the nearest hole, move to it, and use the item in their hand. If their hands are not empty, they should store the leftover mushrooms for crafting.

Mushrooms are a type of fungus and are not plants, so they are not vegetables. They are their whole own category of life and are actually more closely related to humans than plants! They are not photosynthetic and must obtain their food from pre-existing material, just like us. Mushrooms are the fruiting body of a fungus, which produces them to disperse spores (the equivalent of a seed). The spores are then dispersed by wind and animals, starting new mycelium.

There are many ways to grow mushrooms. One of the more traditional methods is growing them on a log. This is the preferred method for oyster and shiitake mushrooms, although they will do fine with alternative methods. You can order dowels, which are corks implanted with mushroom spores that you stick in the log. However, you need a freshly cut log and will need to drill holes in the log in which to place the dowels. This method usually takes about a year to get results.

Program bots to handle planting first and only store the remainder

To automate a mushroom farm in Autonauts, you need to follow a few steps. First, you need to manually lay out a mushroom patch with fully grown mushrooms in a lattice shape, with a space between each plant up/down and left/right. This is because if the mushrooms are planted too close together, they may vanish when harvested. Once the mushrooms are dug up with a spade, you will get 1-3 loose mushrooms, depending on the tool used. These loose mushrooms can then be planted in holes to grow new mushrooms, which take 3 minutes to fully grow.

To avoid a situation where your farming bots run out of loose mushrooms to replant, they can be programmed to handle planting first and only store the remainder. This can be achieved by setting up a repeating loop in their programming:

• Pick up loose mushrooms until hands full.
• Find the nearest loose mushrooms.
• Move to and pick up these loose mushrooms.
• Prioritize replanting patches and repeat until hands are empty.
• Find the nearest hole.
• Move to the hole and use the held item (i.e., plant the loose mushroom).
• If hands are not empty, store leftover mushrooms for crafting.

This way, the farming bots will always prioritize planting loose mushrooms first and only store any remaining mushrooms after their hands are empty. This ensures a constant supply of mushrooms for replanting and helps to avoid running out of loose mushrooms.

Use the 'Until not full' command to replant after harvest

To automate a mushroom farm in Autonauts, you must first understand the process of growing mushrooms. Mushrooms grow in soil and can be harvested with a spade, yielding 1-3 loose mushrooms. To get more mushrooms, these loose mushrooms must be planted in holes, taking 3 minutes to fully grow.

Now, to automate the process, you can program your farming bots to ensure they don't run out of loose mushrooms to replant. Here's where the "Until not full" command comes into play.

Use the "Until Not Full" Command to Replant After Harvest

To ensure a continuous supply of mushrooms, your farming bots can be instructed to prioritize replanting before storing the loose mushrooms. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this:

• Repeat Forever: This is the beginning of the loop that your farming bots will follow indefinitely.
• Repeat Until Hands Full: Instruct the bot to pick up loose mushrooms until its hands are full.
• Find Nearest Loose Mushrooms: Program the bot to locate the nearest loose mushrooms to maximize efficiency.
• Move to Loose Mushrooms: Direct the bot to move towards the identified loose mushrooms.
• Pick Up Loose Mushrooms: Once the bot reaches the loose mushrooms, it should be commanded to pick them up.
• Prioritize Replanting Patches: This step ensures that replanting takes precedence over storage.
• Repeat Until Hands Empty: Now, the bot should start replanting. It will continue planting until its hands are empty.
• Find Nearest Hole: The bot locates the nearest hole to plant the loose mushrooms.
• Move to Hole: The bot moves towards the identified hole.
• Use Held Item: The bot plants the loose mushrooms in the hole.
• Store Leftover Mushrooms for Crafting: If the bot still has loose mushrooms after replanting, it should store them for future use or crafting.

By using the "Until not full" command in this loop, your farming bots will prioritize replanting until they no longer have any loose mushrooms in their hands. This ensures that your mushroom farm remains productive and efficient, with minimal risk of running out of mushrooms to replant.

Additionally, you can implement strategies such as creating a backup box of loose mushrooms to reseed your farm in case of any issues, as suggested by some Autonauts players. This backup ensures that your farm can recover from potential failures, such as all planter bots malfunctioning simultaneously.

Dig out a weed plant, replant, and store the excess

To dig out a weed plant, replant it, and store the excess, you'll need to follow these steps:

First, identify the weed plant you want to remove. It's important to know that removing grass and weeds will reduce competition and make room for new plants to grow and thrive. Vigorous weeds and grasses will compete with your desired plants for nutrients, sunlight, and water, hindering their growth.

Next, you'll want to use a spade, a sharp tool like a pickaxe or mattock, or even a sod cutter to dig out the weed plant. Make sure to get as much of the root out as possible, as many weeds will regrow from any roots left in the ground. Loosen the soil with a rake or a hoe before digging. If you're dealing with stubborn growth, you may need to use a pickaxe or mattock to dig out the roots. Alternatively, you can rent equipment like a rototiller to help with this process. Remember to always wear personal protective gear and operate machinery with caution.

Once you've dug out the weed plant, you can replant it elsewhere if desired. Dig a hole in the new location, place the weed plant's roots into the hole, and cover them with soil. Be sure to water the replanted weed thoroughly and regularly, just as you would any newly planted shrub or tree.

Finally, if you have excess soil or weeds, you can store them for later use or disposal. You can use the excess soil to fill in holes or low spots in your garden or lawn. As for the weeds, you can let them dry in the sun and then add them to your compost heap.

Now, let's shift our focus to the world of Autonauts and mushroom farming. In Autonauts, mushrooms are considered wildlife that grows in the soil and can be harvested with a spade. To get more mushrooms, you need to plant loose mushrooms in holes, and they take about 3 minutes to fully grow. To avoid running out of loose mushrooms for replanting, you can program your farming bots to prioritize planting first and only store the remaining mushrooms. This can be done by creating a repeating loop in their programming, instructing them to pick up loose mushrooms, find the nearest hole, move to it, and use the held item (the loose mushroom). Any leftover mushrooms can then be stored for crafting.
