So yeah, my cleaner bot had turned into a pile of scrap, not exactly sure when but I know it was not broken. My sim lives in an apartment and the bot was just sitting in her living room.
And what are these upgrade levels even supposed to be? I don't know much about them and this was my sim's first bot. It was levelling up by itself? I'm not sure what was its upgrade level when it was finished and at some point I saw the upgrade level is 9 and some time later it was level 10 but I don't know how. I did once use the tune up interaction which makes the durability and battery score go to 100%. Will it upgrade it too? I was waiting to see what interactions I will have available when it runs out of battery but the thing turned into a scrap pile before I had the chance to find out. Its battery level was about 40% when I last deactivated it before it turned into dust. ☹️
edit: additional information, I made a new bot and its battery levels are working inconsistently. I'm still wanting to see what options I have when it runs out of battery. The battery level is bouncing around between 4-5 % when I hover on it with my mouse to see its stats. It's been activated for the whole day and I find it odd that it can go down to 4,99% battery and then shoot to 5,93% next time I look at it.
Well, returned to the game recently, made a new save game because it has been a while. Now I have a single utili bot, a cleaning one, who'll happily zoom along but not recharge itself, and sometimes when I put it on the engineering workstation it disappears but it's also still there. When I move the workstation to family bin, the utili bot also appears in there. It keeps throwing Last Exception Errors in my save, but I do have MCCC running so maybe that makes a difference. Also it gained random upgrade levels like other players described.
I can redo this without mods for if saves are still needed, but seeing that request is from a year ago, I sort of doubt it?
I have the same problem and with the Garderner Bot too.
The bot was just watering plants and suddenly became a dust/rubish pile.
Another thing not related but...why bots take an eternity to do anything? Is this just me?
To water 1 single plant, it takes 20% of its battery. Disgusting.
Tested with and without mods, same result.
