General Description

The hum of an engine, the honk of a horn. Beep beep! Move out of the way! Jimothy is coming through! A little ball of joy controlling a forklift, this hard working robot is just doing its job. Going around inside and out, it carries around various equipment relocating it. It has 3 spherical eyes, a hard hat and spherical body devoid of legs. It drives a large yellow forklift with a bright orange rotating light. It can pick up heavy items on its pallet. Stand clear of its path and don't interrupt its activity.

He thinks he's doing a good job.

Gameplay

When Jimothy spawns, he'll begin driving around the moon, going inside and outside to pick up various hazards and crates. Once he's picked them up, he'll relocate them to a different spot. Allowing some inside hazards to be outside and vice versa. He can throw a wrench into scrap collection, but rest assured he doesn't do it out of malice, he thinks he's doing a good job. His forklift can be ridden and carry dropped items around as well. It can be stunned. Hitting it will make it look at you and make it go faster than before.

Lore

The cheapest to produce robot, its nothing but a small sphere made to program and to insert into various machinery. Due to its cheap cost it doesn't last long, malfunctioning and needing to be discarded after a year of use. When a Jimothy is made, it receives a training algorithm rewarding its good in bad actions in thousands of simulations, all done under a few minutes. The core, having undergone rigorous training, is now ready for any job. They've been the back bone of mining operations for decades, carrying equipment crates and valuable safes from the ship and back. Every crew rated D and up is allowed to have a Jimothy unit helping them in their expeditions. However ever since the mysterious malfunction on Oxyde, all jimothy units have gone haywire. Their training algorithms started rewarding every single action positively. They think they're doing a good job no matter what.

Strategies

Jimothy is not dangerous directly to players. Keep an eye out for what it carries and where it drops it. Its sounds are loud enough to be able to easily discern it from afar. It can also be used to ride around, usually bring you back to entrances or other more familiar parts of the map. Hitting him can make him go faster, accelerating travel. Take cautions in not being pushed through walls, as his big body could clip players out of the map and send players falling to an untimely demise.

Dev History

The poster boy of Code Rebirth, truly everybody's favorite little worker robot. He was added in V0.13.0, being the second member of the cleaning crew with Scrap-E the janitor. When he was being developped, the pathfinding needed an entire rewrite due to the complexity of its pathfinding, It took Xu a month or 2 to finish it.The design was inspired originally by the Gutterman's head from ultrakill, having multiple eyes, but eventually it turned into 3 being the same as Scrap-E. Their versatile ball design is based off of Portal's personality cores as well. The new and definitive icon for the mod featuring Jimothy and the Manor Lord was drawn by MrSaltedBeef.
