Maybe I missed some configuration step
no, they should spawn by own in somehow.
but the bots kill they self if they have a special void values, or they would crash a lot of times.
its hard to figure out whats wrong, if nothing tells something about it.
but im pretty shore its something with the mine, build and craft part.
download the newest upload and this very simple mod + enable
https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=8750and if there are spawned bots, say /clearobjects
it will disable build,craft and mine for all bots, so they will not build houses.
open up a github page
i have been trying it 3 times, and just messing up. but would be nice if someone wants to upload it.
but anyway, all bots can use bows + arrows if they get it in somehow.
and randomly checking if they can craft pickaxes, but im unsure if they will craft it.
even i should know exacly how they is thinking, i only know about 85% of it.
the other 15% is preoccupation, temper and randomly thinking, and who knows what a bot is thinking? :P
would be nice to make them develop personality traits too
