Version 2026.11.10 – The talking-robot update: your robot talks, flies and fights along 🤖

November 8, 2026

After the big singing-stones update, Justus sent six reports in a single evening – and nearly all of them are about the hunter robot you build from the heart of the Guardian core after the finale. From now on it is more than a quiet companion. Thank you, Justus! 🙌

🤖 Your robot talks. Aim at your own robot and press E: it answers in VEGA's window – under its own name, in its light blue. It tells you it is sorry for what the old network once did to the SPS. It misses its brothers, the scan drones, guardian robots, tank spiders and hunters. And it asks you questions: What is a song? Why do people build houses? What are dreams? Sometimes VEGA asks it something too, and it answers her. And every now and then, while it follows you and nothing is attacking, it says something all by itself.

🔫 Give it a weapon. Hold a weapon – a pistol, a blaster, a sword or gloves – and press E at your robot. It takes it in its hand and fights with it: stronger, and with the weapon's reach. Give it a second one and the first comes back into your backpack.

🚀 Give it a jetpack. With a jetpack in your hand and E, it gets one on its back. Climb a cliff, jump up onto a roof or fly with your own jetpack, and it flies after you – and once it lands, it walks again. There is no armour for it, on purpose – that was Justus' wish. You can take the weapon and the jetpack back any time in the Creatures tab. If you switch the robot off or it gets knocked out, you get everything back. Nothing gets lost.

🎬 The finale's last scene comes right away. Justus had won the argument duel against the Guardian core, but the closing scene never came. It wasn't broken – it was waiting for him to be back at his ship, and that stands 24 blocks above the core's chamber. Now it plays right there in the chamber as soon as no machine is close. If something still holds it back, VEGA tells you once: "I have something important to show you – as soon as you are safe." And because a few stray machines still roam after the win (the galaxy gets calmer, not empty), the closing lines now say so too.

🛬 No more companions in the ship's floor. After every landing, Justus' robot "Latschuh" was stuck halfway in the floor of the ship. Now your robot and every animal that follows you wait beside the ship.

💪 The forearms bend the right way. Marcel spotted it in the character editor: the figure's forearms bent backwards – standing, walking, sitting, on a ladder and when punching. Now they bend forward, just like yours.

🛠 For admins: the /festival command works in the chat now.
