my goodness, if @sdee actually wired up the debug log with that sort of realism/feedbackā¦ well, 
just doesnt capture it adequatelyā¦ this is nerd debugging done rightā¦ 
and while i would love to hear more in-depth details on the path-finding routines and this glorious scheduler, im afraid im somewhat transfixed on not only the gentlemen sporting the lovely mutton chops, but the other unit who seems to be sprouting from his bedā¦

ā¦Iām sorry, but it has to be said.
I can totally imagine this scene played at three times speed with Yakety Sax going in the background.

Theyāve truly captured our Friday nightās perfectly.
I loaded the desktop Tuesday on my phone after Iād just woken up, I was convinced the picture was of the untis sunbathing on a lovely lake, but alas, was just the pathfinding process!
I definitely agree that text like that somewhere in the game would add so so much to it, weāll have to wait and see though, I imagine there are more important things at the moment!

Iāve gotta say that ādialogā provided by @sdee sounds just like something that might have come from an Abbott and Costello routine! LOL!!

What do you guys think is the brown square with gray blocks around it? Looks like a campfire.
are you referring to this?
they all do seem to be focused on itā¦ perhaps it is generating items the test units are using? the companion cubes?
oh, and take another gander at Mutton Bobā¦ thatās what iāve named himā¦ heās swellā¦

My first reaction was the same as @Miturion, I thought it was a campfire base or perhaps the stump of a tree?
But looking again it doesnāt seem quite right for either of those ā¦ maybe it is something that generates items ā¦
It doesnāt really look like Tom implemented it/Qubicleād it, so thereās no way that it can be anything weāll see in normal gameplayā¦ unless the intent was for it to look like a literal pile of poop in a sand castle, so my bet would be that youāre guess is closer than anyone elseās, @Geoffers747.
Careful when youāre running with scissors; you might poke someoneās eye out.

can the cubes be an easter egg, pleeeeease? maybe an indiana jones golden idol type thing?

Howās about āChopsā? Short, simple, more of a nickname than Mutton Bob?
Edit: Or, Chopper, sounds like a bit of a bad boy! I hear the ladies dig that.
ā¦ However Chopper is the nickname of a pretty serious Australian criminal, so thereās that.
