Re: Hauling Bot

But if he wants to implement these NPC haulers, then the devs should either overhaul the NPC rats or the bots, so that you also don't need a logibot behind you. Which isn't going to happen. So you still need at least 2 accounts to be able to rat more or less efficiently.
The thing with steam accounts is not impossible at all, btw.
1. copy your perpetuum folder from /steamapps into another folder for every account you have
2. make shortcut of perpetuum.exe
3. start both clients. you can now choose from every account that is connected to your steam account, no need to manually log in.about the NPCs - when the DEVs really do what they wrote in that other topic, without npcs dropping t1 loot at all, you suddenly have much more room in your robot since you do not have to pick up stuff to delete it in cargo, which you cannot do while having "in combat status", or when your cargo is already full.
You can farm any NPC spot on alpha with a single robot, not even a heavy mech is needed to farm the "hardest" spots since they reduced the NPCs on Alpha to Asia-grinder low-cost MMO versions.You cannot aquire multiple accounts via steam, so its not possible to do that workaround with steam only. (read my previous post again ) Sales only happen within the Steam shop.
If they really nerf T1 drop rates, okay. I'd support that.
Regarding that "any spot farmable in a single robot", I highly doubt that, except you have really good skills. I am currently in an fully T4-equipped Machine-gun Artemis and there is no way in hell I could farm most mech-spots on Alpha without my logibot. Even with most accumulator skills to lvl 5+ I still get sucked dry quite often, and having to fit an armour repper doesn't exactly help in that regard. The amount of EWAR you get from the rats is hard.
If those are the nerfed asia-grinder bots, then I don't want to know what they did before that. I'd probably have to grind assault bots until I'm in a heavy mech with lvl 10 skills.
I guess I could grind at some other spots with smaller bots, but even that would be far from efficient.
And sorry, I apparently misunderstood your steam point, nevermind me.
