Task System

The task system allows you to give your robots specific jobs to perform. This is managed through three key components: the Task Marker, the Task Table, and the Task Item.

1. Defining an Area (If Required)​

Some tasks, like Mining or Farming, require a specific operational area.

  1. Craft a Task Marker.
  2. Set the First Position: Left-click a block with the Task Marker to set the first corner of the area.
  3. Set the Second Position: Right-click another block to set the second corner. The two points will define a rectangular prism where the robot will work.

While holding the Task Marker, you will see a visual outline of the selected area, which can be configured in the client settings.

2. Creating a Task Item​

  1. Craft and place a Task Table.
  2. Open the Task Table UI by right-clicking it.
  3. Select a Task Mode: Click one of the icons in the UI to choose the task you want to create (e.g., Mining, Farming).
  4. Insert a Task Marker (if needed): For tasks that require an area, place your configured Task Marker into the input slot.
  5. Take the Result: A Task Item will appear in the output slot. Taking this item consumes the Task Marker and encodes the selected area and task onto the new item.

3. Assigning the Task​

  1. Right-click your Robot to open its GUI.
  2. Place the Task Item into the designated task slot.

The robot will now begin performing its assigned task. It will automatically switch its activity and begin working.
