BotFriends v1.0.0
Spawn a squad of colorful bot friends that follow you around, grab nearby valuables, and haul them to the extractor like loyal little loot-goblins. Singleplayer Only. WIP: more personality, behaviors, and features coming soon.
⚠️ Singleplayer Only
BotFriends works exclusively in singleplayer.
The mod includes built-in checks to prevent bot spawning in multiplayer, protecting lobbies.
Status - Work in Progress
This mod will be updated over time.
BotFriends is a W.I.P. - expect new behaviors and more chaos in future updates.
What the mod does
BotFriends spawns a one or a small crew of capsule-shaped funny geniuses that:
- Follow you around or wander near you, depending on your config.
- Scan for nearby valuables in a configurable radius and pick them up.
- Carry valuables toward extraction, using the game's real extraction logic to behave like actual crewmates.
Extractor behavior:
- Bots will place valuables into the nearest active extractor.
- If no extractor is active, they carry loot into the next extractor and wait there for activation.
- If you activate a different extractor instead, bots will change targets automatically.
- Once all extraction points are completed, they head to the truck area.
Bots sometimes seem to have their own personalities:
- One that listens.
- One that wanders off.
- One that feels cursed.
- One you learn to hate.
It is not intentional, but it is funny, so it stays.
Best case - install RepoConfig so you can tweak all BotFriends settings from the in-game Mods menu instead of editing the config file manually.
Multiplayer is blocked for safety.
