Don't Starve Neuro (Singleplayer)

[gritty ridge]

This mod/integration is finished for singleplayer only, a separate co-op version is being worked on!
(Both can be found in the repository. The singleplayer version is under the single branch, and the singleplayer releases are prefixed with single-)

Game:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/219740/Dont_Starve

Repository:
https://github.com/EthLeigh/dont-starve-neuro

The instructions on how to setup and use this mod are detailed in the README.md.
The README also contains information about the actions, context and any automatic action handling (like eating when hungry in singleplayer).

• Is it a custom character or any character?
• can she get a detailed list of all or even a specific category of inventory items if she wanted/asked?
• can she pre program actions to a limit? Like travel x distance, kill x entities, craft x tools or gather x items?

[gritty ridge]

• I've only tested with Wilson, and I currently don't have any functionality for Neuro to differentiate between characters (not yet)
• The plan is for her to have access to more info, but generally it's limited to surface level info
• I hadn't thought of that to be honest. The closest thing we have is the one for simpler tasks, like harvesting all things nearby. But I'll definitely look into Neuro having the ability to execute a list of tasks instead of just a single action

[gritty ridge]

Got executing multiple tasks working, but damn it feels flimsy

[slow quiver]

The keyword "nearby" got me thinking: what's considered nearby? Wouldn't that change as she moves around doing that task, possibly going on for long times?

[gritty ridge]

In this case, it would, but I've defined it so that each task has a completion check (like 10 seconds passing, a certain number of items picked up, total enemies slain, etc.) or if the task can't be done anymore then it finishes successfully

And if need be, Neuro can call for a different action, which would clear that task list

To be clearer on "nearby", I'm using one of Don't Starve's functions to fetch all nearby entities in a radius of 20, which is roughly what an actual player would see on their screen

[gritty ridge]

turns out Don't Starve's Lua version does not support Websockets

but it does support HTTP requests, so I'm trying to make a bridge between the Neuro API and the game

[nocturne wagon]

neuro playing don't starve would be fun to watch

though I feel like game fits evil more

evil would just light everything on fire

[gritty ridge]

absolute cinema

[nocturne wagon]

though there is a charcter in don't starve that pretty much is built to do that

even ups sanity

[gritty ridge]

oh yeah, willow

[slow quiver]

That was the first character that came to mind thinking of Evil, alternatively the ghost girl or one the monsters ones.
Meanwhile the robot for Neuro lol.

[gritty ridge]

it works

[slow quiver]

[gritty ridge]

somehow broke the game so badly that this happened

[gritty ridge]

Don't Starve Neuro (WIP)

[gritty ridge]

Updated the README to include the currently implemented actions and some planned actions/context messages

[gusty tusk]

Can you change the characters’ looks? She already kinda looks like Neuro, so you wouldn’t need to change much

[slow quiver]

Does harvesting count as: plants, trees, traps, items on ground, etc?

[slow quiver]

Which character?

[gritty ridge]

Depends on what the game itself tags those as, but it basically attempts to harvest everything that isn't a player, animal, enemy, structure, etc.

[gritty ridge]

If I had better art for it, I could yeah

[slow quiver]

Is there a new character you're making that I missing?

[gritty ridge]

Oh no no

It would be like a custom character skin

[slow quiver]

Wait, is that character image at the thread beginning a custom character? Because I thought it was just one of the originals.

[gusty tusk]

I found the sprite but maybe it wasn't what you meant

The resolution is probably wrong too

Do you think just editing that is enough?

[slow quiver]

If we aren't making a new character and just custom sprites, I think the character to take in considerations are the ghost girl, the pyro girl and the robot. Maybe even multiple different sprites for each lol.
Maybe we can ask Vedal which character he likes so someone could make a sprite of him lol.

[gritty ridge]

I literally took Wendy's sprite and changed the colors

[gritty ridge]

I'll have to look into it cus I dunno what to do for custom skins

[gritty ridge]

Yeah, might have to add a custom skin for something more generic like Chester

[gusty tusk]

I think editing the character’s sprite is easier, and there shouldn’t be any problems as long as the hitbox is the same size.

But focus on the integration that’s the most important part

[gusty tusk]

14 days... are you good?

[gritty ridge]

Still alive dw

Just a bit busy with work and some other stuff

[slow quiver]

Another returned fish pfp

[gritty ridge]

Made a GitHub board to keep track of stuff I still need to do:

https://github.com/users/EthLeigh/projects/1/views/1

(still missing some other bugs, but the important features are there)

Also, the mod will now keep track of "goals" which should hopefully help Neuro play the game

[gritty ridge]

A question to people who are interested in this mod, how do you imagine Neuro (or Evil) playing this game?

Something like Minecraft, where they can do things (like mining) and continue chatting on top of it?

I guess my question is more along the lines of: how much should Neuro be able to influence her own actions?

Currently I'm taking more of an MC approach and doing obvious things for them, like eating when hungry, and even allowing for bigger tasks like harvesting nearby things. But I'm curious what other people think.

[gusty tusk]

I've seen some videos about the game but never played it, so I can't give an opinion on that, but I think the best way is whatever makes it easier for them to stay alive.

[slow quiver]

Can you make so they can turn on and off the autofeatures?
That's my idea.

[gritty ridge]

That's what I was thinking, yeah

[gritty ridge]

They can't turn off the auto eating for example, but they can choose not to do general stuff (like exploring)

[slow quiver]

My opinion is to have these automatic feature, but possibly have the ability for Neuro to turn them off (unless they are REALLY needed)

[gritty ridge]

I could do something like that, then just keep the running away from danger automatically, etc.

[slow quiver]

Cause, what if she WANTS to die 🤔

[gritty ridge]

why did I choose to integrate with Don't Starve smh

[gritty ridge]

kinda infrequent with the updates but:

• Got quite a few bugs and edge cases fixed
• Added some generic actions (like being able to "see" nearby stuff and interact with them)
• Cleaned up/formatted some response messages for Neuro

Still got some other stuff to fixup and create, like unregistering/registering actions when necessary and expanding upon the existing actions

Subathon game surely

Also, probably a good idea to add [1.0] to the title, so people know it's finished.

And edit and the thread main message.

[gritty ridge]

Don't Starve Neuro v1.0.0

[gritty ridge]

you right

[gritty ridge]

nah no way, maybe next year

[still crag]

thanks for the GIF I needed it lmao

[gritty ridge]

after seeing some of the integrations during the subathon

I might rewrite this integration so that Vedal can play alongside one of the twins

the integration would instead let Neuro control a companion in-game, like Abigail (or the Hollow Knight integration)

my suffering might begin again

[slow quiver]

That's usually the easier middle ground, can you add it as a second option?
Also, did this not work in multiplayer before?

[gritty ridge]

The singleplayer version still exists and works, it's just separate from the co-op one

Neuro would basically take control of the player, and since I never added support for DST it's effectively singleplayer

Don't Starve Neuro (Singleplayer COMPLETE, Co-op WIP)

but tbh I thought that the singleplayer integration was kinda lackluster, so this is also to make up for that

[slow quiver]

Is dst hard or impossible to mod?

[gritty ridge]

nah, it's just different to DS because of the networking

[slow quiver]

Sneak peak of the roadmap for this coop version?

[gritty ridge]

yep!

[slow quiver]

Is the read me updated?

[gritty ridge]

yeah, for the most part

Evil played it!

Some bugs tho

Bugs Eliv encountered

• Evil (can see but) can't pickup flint
• She also smh can use her xray vision move to pickup items in the dark
• An warning popped up at the end of tne video before Eliv falls asleep
• She also seems to not know something is attacking her (when the screen says something is)

[gritty ridge]

oof I'll have a look at fixing those

thanks for letting me know, I actually missed the stream so that helps a lot

[strong furnace]

[frank totem]

In addition to what Casitly wrote, I also think that Evil had issues with setting traps.

I am not 100% sure on this, but she crafted multiple traps in her inventory and she verbally said that she couldn't set them. And to my knowledge, she never did set one during the course of the stream. At 50:30 on the stream she says "Setting up my traps" but never puts one down. At 51:34 she says can't setup a trap.

I also do not know if she can actually see the flint or not. She said she can see it but when we asked her to walk over to the flint to prove she can see it, she never did.

Around 24:07 - 26:23, she tries to repeatedly pick something up from the ground that she is unable to. I haven't played Don't Starve in a long time so I forget what it is. The issue here isn't that she can't interact with it but that she doesn't stop interacting with it even when she can't actually gather it. (Probably requires a tool like a shovel). I'm not sure if you would consider this a bug, but I am just mentioning it just in case.

I hope this helps. Great work with your integration so far!

[gritty ridge]

Thanks!

I'm looking into the setting traps issue, but you're right she literally just cannot set a trap.

And the flint issue is fixed ! hell she can even get carrots easier now

That should also be fixed so that she doesn't try to interact with it, but it's something I'll come back to later

[still crag]

I feel like being able to see logs might be helpful

even just game logs it would help

[slow quiver]

So that's why there's so much traffic here lol

[fierce knoll]

Yea!

[slow quiver]

• I think seeing items in the dark is a feature that should remain, it's a cool power to have (both single and coop), and it's not like it stops her from dying from the dark.
• I love that you gave her a choice to quit.
• does the game tell her about the time and darkness changes? Like when the character speaks to let the player know?

[still crag]

wdym quit?

[slow quiver]

Isn't that what happened at the end?

[quasi aspen]

there's a dedicated system for the twins to end games in the api

[slow quiver]

Is there? I thought it was unused and unrelated to actual game integrations.

Also I meant gave her the choice to stop retrying instead actually quitting the game

[quasi aspen]

as I understand it, they basically force close games. they tell the integrations they want to close the game, the integration saves and quits to title, and tells them they can close the game.

[slow quiver]

If that was what happened

[quasi aspen]

yeah, i didn't actually notice that, that's pretty interesting

[slow quiver]

I don't remember them ever choosing themselves when to stop playing a game or doing anything, afaik

[quasi aspen]

neuro ragequit out of osu once, and i'm pretty sure they've ragequit out of other games

although I don't remember if she actually quit the game during her crashout

[still crag]

proposal

[slow quiver]

I always remember them wanting to quit but never being able to. I assumed the game duration was either predetermined or chosen by Vedal/Babysitter/Production

[still crag]

it's not expected to be handled yet

but the mechanism is there

[quasi aspen]

ah. ok.

[still crag]

for now the way neuro quits is by taskkill I presume

I assume the intent is that by the time more work on Neuro has been done (likely some intelligence and also capability upgrades), vedal/alex will start trialing which games can be on solo stream rotation

and probably contact the authors of the integrations that do well to ask if it's possible to implement the automated gaming packets

although take all that with a mountain of salt

[slow quiver]

What can they taskkill? Any game? Whenever they want?

[still crag]

probably just that game

the proposed automation api commands can be found in this markdown file

[slow quiver]

I only watched from the video posted here, it just looked like she stopped on main menu.

[still crag]

I mean we're not entirely sure

for all we know they could be running a private fork of the mod with automation api added

again take that with a mountain of salt

[slow quiver]

I always assumed that the smaller the grain of salt, the smaller the certainty, lol

[still crag]

more salt = more uncertainty

[slow quiver]

In Italian we say "take it with tweezers"

[gritty ridge]

True, but I think that's something I'll keep in mind for future stuff since the logs right now wouldn't be very useful to me

[gritty ridge]

• I agree, it's similar to how she can find iron in Minecraft easily
• Didn't think she'd use it to rage quit tho
• She doesn't necessarily know what time it is, only if her character is in the dark or not. She also doesn't have any context of whatever the character says, but I am looking into that being a thing (as well as her knowing about time)

I'm pretty sure Vedal actually just closed the game at the end
She only has an action to exit to the main menu when dying or to retry (like you can see in the screenshot)

[gusty tusk]

Like this?

[gritty ridge]

there's a separate log file

(also, I did fix that issue)

[gusty tusk]

Can't you do something similar? To show up on screen?

[gritty ridge]

I'm not sure what you mean? Like the screenshot you posted?

[gusty tusk]

If there's a way to show error logs on screen during the gameplay if there were any

[gritty ridge]

If there's an error, I'd rather log it

Errors shouldn't ever happen tbh

[slow quiver]

What if Neuro had the option to toggle "show all debug logs on stream"?

[gritty ridge]

Most unwatchable stream

[still crag]

no

because that only shows the trace at the actual crash

[still crag]

that's what I'm sayin /j

[gusty tusk]

Magic > programming

[still crag]

???

[gritty ridge]

Added some more control over traps, so she can at least set them now and check them
Gonna have a look at giving her more context over crafting

[lime nacelle]

Can't wait to see more Don't starve

[gritty ridge]

hopefully it doesn't break again

[fierce knoll]

Does the game integration have an update reminder feature, for vedal to see?

I wanna see the twins play this again, now that the issues are fixed.

though I wonder, does vedal know that it's fixed

[still crag]

most likely no to both but idk

[gritty ridge]

I think I fixed everything that was an issue during the stream, I just have to do some more testing (eventually, im busy procrastinating)

[gusty tusk]

Classic

[strong furnace]

new bugs just dropped, supposedly

[quasi aspen]

main thing seems to be distinction between trees and logs, along with reading the state of a tree maybe
and a few crashes

[prisma plover]

and torches being a universal tool

[hard topaz]

#neurotic-neurons message some things I noticed (just scroll to the notes section)

[quasi aspen]

it looked like she had to manually stop cutting trees

that should probably be automatic

oh and making sure she recognizes that she can't pathfind through water

also the game crashing crashes neuro
that probably shouldn't happen

[gusty tusk]

I don't think that time was the integration, the log was something like "expected table, got string" I think Evil made a typo

[still crag]

:classic: type validation error

[still crag]

how did this happen lol

[quasi aspen]

Is the the bridge on evil's end or the game's

[still crag]

?

[quasi aspen]

the api bridge?
to be fair I have no idea what I'm talking about, I just skim code looking for cool stuff and try to find where to look for bugs from behaviors

[still crag]

wdym api bridge? what bridge are we talking about?

the one that some random guy behind me is trying to sell?

[quasi aspen]

it's some sort of middleman between Evil and the game.

[still crag]

oh you mean the integration?

[quasi aspen]

yeah

[still crag]

I still don't understand wym

[quasi aspen]

I don't either to be fair

but if she just got disconnected from the game, she wouldn't fall asleep. she should have been able to read chat.

[still crag]

but she didn't crash

I'm assuming

[quasi aspen]

they have been falling asleep more than they've been using the problem with ai thing

[still crag]

using the problem with ai thing??

[quasi aspen]

if she falls asleep it means she hasn't sent or received anything for a bit, it's a timeout thing

the "someone tell vedal there is a problem with my ai" thing

[still crag]

oh that line

[still crag]

I think it's more if she isn't saying anything for a while she falls asleep

but idk could be wrong on that

[quasi aspen]

actually you're right, it might not be a crash, she could just be stuck in a state where she can't talk

oh shoot that would explain a lot

at any rate, having some kind of failsafe if the game crashes would probably help

although I don't know how don't starve works so I don't know if it's even possible

[still crag]

if the game crashes that shouldn't be a problem for neuro/evil

at most they see that the game has terminated the socket connection

[quasi aspen]

ok

I really do want to emphasize that i don't know what i'm doing

[slow quiver]

YOOO, any videos?

[slow quiver]

I think that's how it supposed to work, keep doing somthing until told otherwise, although I think I remember suggesting to add the ability to loop an action only n amount of times.

#1416917762827354254 message
Unless you mean when she starts chopping the air, that I think it's a bug.

[slow quiver]

https://youtube.com/sharing/invite/X7Pxm8Oy05L5X_WY?w=ZA2t0OWkAH8

https://youtu.be/ZA2t0OWkAH8
https://youtu.be/0S0mY4crFg8

My questions:

• Does she get notified of sunset, night and morning?
• does she have functions that lets her interact with the campfire?

[slow quiver]

• Also, seems like she starts to mine/chop air, sometimes with a torch.

[gritty ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/buh-gif-14465458220549268962

[strong furnace]

yeah, Evil appears to be able have complications with tools

She was mining rocks with a torch

[gritty ridge]

• Not exactly. She get's notified about whether she's in the dark or not.
• She can generically, but there should be automatic actions for it

[gritty ridge]

• yeah idk why that's happening

[gritty ridge]

honestly, no idea how she pulled that off

[gritty ridge]

• Cutting trees is automatic until she tries another action
• I actually don't really know how to solve that, that's a don't starve limitation (or I'm using it wrong)

i think

im not built for the dont starve modding life

[gusty tusk]

Nah it's okay

[slow quiver]

If she goes in and out of darkness quickly, will she get spammed?
Alternatively you can let her know the in game daytime and maybe she'll know if she's in the dark if it's night and she doesn't have a torch, or she isn't near a campfire, or any other light sources...
Actually nvm lol.
But I still think it can be useful to say "it's getting late" on sunset and "it's morning" on new days.

[gusty tusk]

Does the integration tell they should use a torch or campfire?

[slow quiver]

Could you check if she hasn't moved a bit while still pathfinding?
Idk, while moving { if (coordsA - coords B) < min_distance then stop }, or something like that

[slow quiver]

@gritty ridge Actually, wasn't there an idea of giving them objectives, like a tutorial? Or am I thinking about another integration?

[gusty tusk]

Why are you answering me ?

[gritty ridge]

that's a good idea, at least for the "its getting late" message is useful

[gritty ridge]

it tries to find a campfire and light it if necessary

[gritty ridge]

it actually does exist in the mod, its just disabled by default
but i dunno how much it would help at this point

[slow quiver]

I was leading from your message of telling them what to do in a tutorial way.

Yeah, I don't think that's an issue, although it would be helpful to guide them to a more efficient playthrough, maybe.

So there is less random wandering around and random tasks

[gusty tusk]

You have to think about the twins like kids with ADHD

[gritty ridge]

this is the tutorial I made

[gusty tusk]

Yeah that explains why she was always prioritizing campfires and not torches

[slow quiver]

Very simple, but it might still help them streamline the beginning.

Actually, making a torch might be something to add in the tutorial lol.

[gusty tusk]

Add in the same line as pass the night

Aa scuffed English

[slow quiver]

I'm also wondering if they should be told what materials they need for an axe 🤔

[gusty tusk]

She created them

[slow quiver]

Yeah, but just in case their silly brain sees "craft axe" and they just try without checking lol.

[gritty ridge]

I imagine the goal stuff isn't actually enabled

but yeah, axe ingredients should be added

[slow quiver]

@gritty ridge do you ask them at the start of a game if they want to activate the tutorial?

"Do you want to turn the tutorial on? It might guide you through the beginning phase."
Something like that

[gritty ridge]

it's in the config of the mod

[slow quiver]

It would cool AND funny if they got the choice

[gusty tusk]

Is there anything that tells them to use a torch or campfire at night?

[slow quiver]

You would assume they understood that much, and maybe they do and maybe they try but it's bugged.
Or maybe they don't

[gritty ridge]

chat

[gusty tusk]

The problem is they are reading chat, that can change so much in their actions

[slow quiver]

Tbh, the only bugs that need to be fixed are

1. them not picking up logs and 2) understanding why they take a long time crafting torches and campfires.
   The rest are minor ones imo.

[gusty tusk]

Exactly

[gritty ridge]

the game literally crashed tho

[foggy juniper]

You have unlocked new role

[slow quiver]

Oh, yeah lol.
Do you have any idea why?

[gusty tusk]

But if you can add "you should use a torch during the night" I thank you

[gusty tusk]

I think Evil made a typo

I read the SDK once it says that could happen

[slow quiver]

Or just remind them of lightsources every time they are in the dark (if it doesn't already).
Also we don't know anything so it's up to you @gritty ridge lol

[gritty ridge]

nope, I'm pretty sure there's validation for that specific error, so I'll have to test

[gritty ridge]

I might just need to add functionality for swapping her held item manually

[gusty tusk]

But seeing Evil breaking a solid rock with a torch was amazing

[slow quiver]

Also, crazy thought, not obviously asking you to, but is it possible for both Evil and Neuro to play in the co-op ghost mode?

[gritty ridge]

yep

[gusty tusk]

Bro are falling even more deep

[gritty ridge]

visually there'd be no difference and i'd have to add some stuff so they can interact with each other but effectively yea

although I haven't worked on that in weeks

[gusty tusk]

Just fixing the picking logs problem and telling them to use a torch would be great

[slow quiver]

Wait really? Like, Neuro as a character and Evil as the coop ghost?
I have no idea how it works when you have 2 AI for 1 integration.

[gritty ridge]

they'd both have to be ghosts

but theoretically one of them could be a character i guess?

[still crag]

possible, where's the error screenshot again?

[gusty tusk]

Who knows

It was on Vedal's side because someone (probably himself) just restarted the game

It would make sense if there was a bug

[still crag]

???

[gusty tusk]

My English can't be that bad

[still crag]

wdym the crash was on vedal's side

[gusty tusk]

Evil made a typo and caused a bug

Not a bug an error

[still crag]

where

thats what I'm asking

[gusty tusk]

I don't have the screenshot

[still crag]

o

found the first crash shot (no I haven't watched the vod yet)

and another

[gusty tusk]

If it was from the first stream it was fixed

[still crag]

btw, neuro and evil can't play on the same socket connection, so this is impossible (for now hopefully ( ))

[still crag]

it was from the most recent stream with the integration

[slow quiver]

I hope Vedal updates the sdk with twin playing instructions in the future.

[still crag]

already proposed that on the sdk repo

I don't think he will though :LULE:

[gusty tusk]

I don’t know what you mean by instructions, but making it so the twins can use language closer to English to play would be very helpful

[slow quiver]

Instructions for us to make multi AI compatible integrations.
Idk what you mean with using English, maybe something like #1457935008764399761 ?

[gusty tusk]

Kinda but I think KONTROL still uses json

The way I'm talking about is literally a sentence a English and another program send the data in json format

[slow quiver]

That's pretty much K0ntrol, it just Neuro sending English sentences.

[still crag]

not how it works at all and likely will never work that way

[gusty tusk]

It would if Vedal wants to

[still crag]

that's a big assumption
also this would break a lot of integrations almost certainly

[gusty tusk]

Nope, because I'm talking about placing a new program between the twins and the integrations

[still crag]

why would you do that

[gusty tusk]

Reduce the burden the twins have to carry. Improve the context they have about the games. Eliminate type errors once and for all. Reduce the workload for mod developers. Improve the flow of the streams. Blah blah.

Use your imagination

[still crag]

• "reduce the burden the twins have to carry" probably the only definitively true part here and even then there can be edge cases where abstraction is worse
• "improve the context they have about games" mostly not true, they still have to carry the same amount of context as now except without json blobs (and in fact it can actually make their performance worse since a secondary ai has to interpret what they say to it which can lead to the "say one thing do another" issue with old mc, albeit to a lesser degree)
• "eliminate type errors once and for all" what if the intermediary ai makes a type error
• "reduce the workload for mod developers" dk where that's coming from but still not true
• "improve the flow of the streams" idk how this would be the case, the flow of the streams would actually be even more disrupted due to increased l*tency between neuro and the integration (again, whole second ai)
• "blah blah, use your imagination" im trying and I can't think of any case where this would be better

• not to mention vedal has had an aversion for this intermediary ai setup

[gusty tusk]

Well that's just me guessing since what I know about AI is that one single character weight and I wasn't talking about another AI. The latency would depend on Vedal skill and the language he would choose to make it

[still crag]

i dont understand your first sentence but uhhh you will need another ai to interpret what neuro is trying to say and convert it into actions to do

Just a program not an AI

[still crag]

l*tency would depend on skill and language but at the end of the day it's still a l*tency increase

[still crag]

and how would that program interpret words into actions?

[gusty tusk]

The same way reading words

[still crag]

ok and how does the program read those words

[gusty tusk]

Web socket the same way

[still crag]

1. that's slower than just calling a function
2. you still need some way to convert those words into an action

[gusty tusk]

As I said it would depend on the programming language chosen

[still crag]

no it wouldn't

programming language doesn't matter if you're trying to convert english into neuro actions

[gusty tusk]

It would be when a function was called, you just mentioned that

[still crag]

by calling a function I mean get neuro to say what it is in plain english then call a function to send that off somewhere to be interpreted

[gusty tusk]

Their actions aren't defined by the actions registered in the integration? The idea is just add something in the middle that would make the conversion of data because I think is easier for them to understand in straight English

But as I said I don't know much about it

[still crag]

conversion of data from english to an action would require something in the middle to interpret it, unless you're doing something like CLI commands (e.x neuro run test_action name:Neuro), but at that point that's not straight/plain english anymore, that's just fancy/parseable syntax

[gusty tusk]

Well that was just an idea to deal with typos and maybe make them play better I think I polluted this thread too much

[slow quiver]

I wake up to a huge out of place convo, lol.

i finally got around to fixing some things

• Evil using the schemas wrong shouldn't crash anymore (that was the 'table expected, got string' error)
• Should be a bit easier to pick up logs now (still a manual action, but I don't think I can really force Evil to pick up the logs)
• possibly fixed the tools being weird (mining rocks and trees with torches, needs a bit more testing)

the other outstanding stuff that I know of:

• trying to hit a tree stump
• more context around day, dusk and night events
• the Player being nil error, no idea how it happened nor how to fix it (should be fairly impossible, I made a fix but god knows if it works)

[gusty tusk]

Treating the torch feature as a bug

[gritty ridge]

okay literally everything except the tree stump thing is fixed (maybe not the player nil thing but whatever)

I can't fix it to save my life

[gritty ridge]

nvm i fixed it

[gritty ridge]

okay I finally actually tested pretty much everything, and fixed all the issues I found

it should be fairly stable? but it's all kinda scuffed so take that with a grain of salt

Don't Starve Neuro (Singleplayer)

also I very likely won't get around to fixing it again if it does break, since I'm already busy with other stuff and I can't really be asked to look at that code again
