Re: Robot Vacuum not working with dusty floors

@cloud3blak 

I found that the mobile vacs work pretty well overall.  Once the dust builds up though, they don't seem to work.  So you need to clean the the floor level with a BTD vacuum first then turn the C&D robovac on.  I set mine to run every six hours and that does the job most of the time.  In the few places where the 6 hour setting didn't work to keep it clean, I set the robovac there to run every 3 hours.

And I also suggest you fully upgrade the robovac and the base.  Otherwise you'll need to send a sim to empty them every time they run.

Hope this helps.

    The robot vacs don't work for me at all involving the dust system. I run my robo vaccum all the time and my house still acquires dust the same way it does without a robo vacuum. I need to use the actual BTD vacuums to clean up the dust and bunnies. Currently the robot vacuums seem to be glitched though so that might be part of it. There's another thread for that. The robo vacuums seem to start doing their routine and then just randomly stop moving and get stuck. They still make noises and act like they are cleaning but don't move or do anything. I have to go into build mode and manually move it back to it's dock. Maybe if it actually gets fixed to where it's working throughout the whole house again then maybe it'll actually work on the dust system. And if not then maybe that would be a cool addition/update to the game. It would be awesome if robo vacs worked the same as the new vacuums that came with BTD.
