A satisfactory mod that introduces a walking mascot robot that patrolls factory floors to collect and visualize operational data.

- Robots are spawned from a Base Station.
- Robots patrol along a Walking Path, starting from that Base Station.
- A Walking Path is created by connecting various nodes (Base Stations, Monitoring Nodes, and Walking Path Nodes).
- A robot's patrol route is created by sequentially selecting Monitoring Nodes within the Walking Path network connected to its home station.
- By linking equipment to a Monitoring Node, the robot can collect equipment data and bring it back to the Base Station.
- At the Base Station, this data is aggregated, allowing users to check production and consumption information for each item.
- A Base Station can also aggregate data collected by other stations.
- This allows stations to be structured hierarchically.
- Data Packer Stations and Data Unpacker Stations are facilities used to turn data into items and transport them over long distances via conveyors or other means.
- A Data Packer Station functions almost identical to a Base Station, but it outputs the information collected by its assigned robots onto a conveyor.
- A Data Unpacker Station unpacks and stores the information received from the conveyor.
- It also provides that information to any robots patrolling this station.
- Currently, you can only build up to 20 Data Packer Stations. While I plan to increase this limit, it is finite under the current specifications.
- Walking Path Nodes are used solely to form the Walking Path.
- Monitoring Nodes serve as robot destinations and are utilized for facility monitoring.
- You can change the monitoring range and the visibility of Monitoring Nodes in the global settings.
- The Robot-only Portal(v1.0.2) is a special node designed to connect distant nodes.
- Place two portals, select one of the portals and link them together.
- This feature unlocks upon releasing SPWN.
- When you select a robot, you can configure patrol routes, start/stop patrols, view the robot camera, and change skins.
- For patrol route configuration, green 'Available Nodes' indicate that the node is currently targeted for patrol by a robot.
- If you change the patrol route configuration, please press 'Start' to apply the changes to the robot.
- When you select the robot camera view, you can press [C] to switch between Fixed Camera and Mouse Look.
- In Mouse Look mode, hold the right mouse button and drag to change the viewpoint.
- You can introduce your original character. Here is how to do it.
- [Insert] open Global Settings window
- [Esc] close window
