Gemini AI Companion Bots

[1.2.1] - 2026-10-25

🚂 Train Dismount & Anti-Reboard Loop Fix

• Eliminated Immediate Reboarding Loop:
  • Fixed an issue where asking a companion or non-conductor bot to dismount or get out of a train caused them to step out for a split second and immediately reboard with the message "Boarded the locomotive! Conductor ready on the rails."
  • Implemented dismountFromTrain():
    • Stops the locomotive and executes a vehicle dismount.
    • Fully clears all active locomotive orders and follow targets (conductorFollowingPlayer, conductorDestStation, conductorReturnStation, conductorTileTarget, conductorMoveStartPos, and current action queue).
    • Restores the companion's prior role (e.g. companion, guard, farmer) if they boarded temporarily.
    • Applies a 5-second reboarding immunity cooldown (trainBoardCooldownTicks = 100) to prevent any accidental auto-mounting.
    • Offsets the companion 1.2 blocks clear of the train tracks so they are not trapped inside the train's collision volume.
  • Restricted tickPassiveConductor auto-boarding logic so it strictly applies only to companions currently assigned to the active conductor role with pending rail orders. Non-conductor bots will never auto-board locomotives.
• Expanded Natural Dismount Phrases:
  • Companions now recognize: "get out", "get out of the train", "get off", "get off the train", "dismount", "exit", "exit the train", "leave", "leave the train", "hop off", "hop out", "step out", and "jump out".
  • Added dedicated vehicle dismounting support to "STOP" and "DISMOUNT" action plans.

🏷️ Interactive Nickname Assignment & Slash Commands

• Natural Language Nickname Recognition:
  • Fixed an issue where companions did not respond to nickname assignment requests in chat.
  • Expanded verbal parsing in extractAndLearnNicknameFromPrompt to handle:
    • "assign nickname [to|is|:] <name>"
    • "set nickname [to|is|:] <name>"
    • "give you the nickname <name>"
    • "your nickname is <name>"
    • "nickname: <name>"
    • "rename to <name>" / "change name to <name>"
    • "call yourself <name>" / "name you <name>"
• Instant Verbal Confirmation & Nearest-Bot Target Fallback:
  • Companions immediately confirm nickname changes in chat: "Nickname set to ''! I will now respond to this name."
  • If a player gives a nickname command without addressing a specific bot by name, chat routing automatically selects the nearest companion to the player.
• New In-Game Commands:
  • /bot nickname <new_nickname> — Assigns a nickname to the nearest companion.
  • /bot nickname <botName> <new_nickname> — Assigns a nickname to a specific companion.
  • /bot rename <new_nickname> — Alias for /bot nickname.
  • /bot rename <botName> <new_nickname> — Alias for /bot nickname.

🌾 Surveyor Wand Mapped Area Farming & Multi-Chest Logistics

• Whole Mapped Area Farming:
  • Fixed an issue where companions asked to farm a Surveyor Wand mapped area (e.g. 149 m2149\text{ m}^2149 m2 plots) only worked a small 5-block radius and ignored the rest of the zone.
  • Added configureFarmForSavedArea(SavedArea area): when ordered to "farm it", "farm this area", "farm the area", or "farm ", companions detect the mapped area (by name, standing inside it, or nearest within range), adopt its exact perimeter bounds, and announce:

    "Farm duty set to mapped area '' (~149 m²)! I will systematically tend, harvest, replant, and deposit crops across the entire mapped area."

  • Full-polygon iteration: findNearestMatureCrop, findNearestBareFarmland, and findNearestTillableDirtInFarmBox now scan the entire 3D bounding box of the SavedArea, ensuring 100% of the mapped zone is farmed, harvested, and replanted.
  • tickFarmAction no longer terminates prematurely after a fixed crop count when working a mapped zone.
• Multi-Chest Storage Logistics:
  • Companions now detect single chests, double chests (ChestBlock.getContainer), and barrels within 24 blocks.
  • When storing crops, findNearestAvailableContainerBlock actively skips full containers with no available slots.
  • If chest #1 reaches capacity during deposit, the companion automatically locates the next available container with free space and deposits remaining produce sequentially across multiple chests.
  • Alerts the player in chat if all nearby chests are full: "My bags are full of crops and all nearby chests are full! Please place an empty chest."
• Perimeter Boundary Leeway:
  • Allowed container access within 24 blocks of the farm perimeter so perimeter chests placed outside boundary fences can be accessed without triggering perimeter turnbacks.
