Hamster Robots

Hamster Robots 1.6.4 (Forge 1.20.1) - changes since 1.5.14

IMPORTANT: network protocol 16. Server and ALL players must update to 1.6.4. Worlds and configs from 1.5.x / 1.6.x load fine (old defaults migrate automatically).

NEW WORLD CONTENT

• Hamster Base: generates near world spawn (fallback placement for existing worlds) with Hims, peaceful guard Hims and the new Scientist Hims, who stay near home.
• - Scientist Gift: talk to a Scientist Hims for one free upgraded robot per player, delivered in a cutscene.

NEW ROBOTS

• Mini Hamster Robot (teal; 2 iron ingots + 1 iron block, vertical): jetpack flight (tap Space = on, hold = climb, double-tap = off and fall like a helicopter bail-out, Ctrl = down), flight speed of the Helicopter Hims, hand laser (10), Blue Core Burn (5-block reach, 40 total), Cling Bomb, small-mob/player pickup, Dig Mode and Propeller swim.
• - Mini Speaker Hims (crimson; 2 iron ingots + 1 note block, vertical): same body with a speaker grille; Core Pin Laser pins any mob and burns it with a solid crimson core beam for 5 s (70 total). All its effects, goggles and cockpit arm are crimson.
• - Both Minis drop their own item when destroyed and only show their own abilities on the hotbar. They cannot join Handshake Strike or Hims Army.
• - HAMSTER ROBOT LAZER MODU: both Minis merge core lasers into an energy sphere (40-block, mobs-only blast). Another pilot must accept (G, 10 s). The pilot then clicks one of the blue-highlighted mobs to pick the target (10 s timeout or Esc cancels, no cooldown used). Each beam keeps its robot's color.

BIG ROBOTS

• Hamster Robot '=': Core Sacrifice is back (as in 1.5.10). While in Rage, '=' fires the new Meteor Smash instead: drag the mob across a cutscene-only mountain range, climb to real space (starry sky, curved Earth), dive back and explode (mobs only, no block damage). The robot is left damaged and is repaired and upgraded by Scientists. The HUD shows which ult '=' will fire.
• - Speaker Hims: Drop Kick and the old sacrifice removed. New Mothership Strike (Backspace, 5 min): a three-headed Mothership fires a 200-damage laser with a huge blast; every target mob in the area is frozen until the laser hits. Space Sacrifice now shows real space and visible damage until it is repaired.
• - Rage Mode: when a Mini Speaker or a big Hamster Robot falls, its nearby partner of the same owner goes into Rage for 40 s (+50% damage, red eyes, HUD timer), with a short cutscene.
• - Helicopter Hims carries a pilot plus 2 passengers.

CUTSCENES & POLISH

• Grabbed mobs stay alive and visible for the whole cutscene and die only at the final hit (with kill credit to the pilot).
• - New royalty-free music (credited in CREDITS.md) and SFX; all music and sounds fade out smoothly.
• - Flying robots no longer play a walking animation; improved first- and third-person cockpit cameras, effect origins and carry positions.
• - EN/TR translations for everything.
