Isn't kinda weird that marnie sells this machine that stays in a place that can collect stuff around your coops and barns? How does it even shear animals or collect items around the building while not moving? It's almost like it's magical...
I had an idea where instead of getting this machine from marnie, we get it's blueprint from Mr. Qi and their sprites are changed into these cute little robots. With permission from the modder of course.
Also, there are now two auto-grabbers. One that's the standard auto-grabber bot where it can ONLY work inside buildings "due to their limited path-finding" and the deluxe one that can be used outside BUT has a limited range like scarecrows and works with ONLY "machinery" such as tappers, bee houses, crab pots etc. but NOT stuff like crops and so on. Only exception to this would be that they should be able to collect cave/fruit mushroom.
Since junimo huts exist, auto-grabbers should not be able to harvest crops but if you guys don't agree and think auto-grabbers should be able to then they should have sort of downgrade where they can do it but quality of the crop is lowered.
They still can't fish or do other stuff similar to it. They can only collect stuff from machines. ONLY think they can do is put bait back to the crab pots. If they need bait for it or not can be decided depending on their recipe. Maybe we can just store baits in their inventory or maybe they can just do it without need of it?
Recipe for regular one shouldn't be too expensive. It should be something that can be crafted mid-game multiple times. Marnie was selling them only for 25k and player needed farming lvl 10 (now which will not need). It should be something equivalent of this.
However recipe for deluxe auto-grabber should be a little above mid-game. Nothing too crazy. Wouldn't want players to stop playing before even crafting one.
There also can be other little quirks about them. As you created them, they are willing to help you on your farm (unlike MarILDA) but they still know their rights! Thus why they have limited range. Maybe you can also feed them batteries just to improve their range for a while or maybe as just like a cute little thing?
So that's the idea! It's quite long i know but i really believe these robots would feel like something out of the vanilla game while still letting you automate your farm.
I had this idea for a quite while after seeing the robots re-skin mod but i can't make it myself as i simply don't know how to code and will not have the time for to learn how to in a long while due to exams.
Maybe someone with experience might be willing to do it? If not please don't yell at me. I'm not trying to force anyone.
