Robot companion

I thought about a modular robot consisting of geometric elements connected magneticallyIt would be a great companion on the player’s journeyIt would have the ability to change shapeIt would change into animals that it scanned on the journey with the playerBut for it to be able to change into larger animals such as marowbreeth the player would have to fabricate more elementsBut it would have limitsFor example I think that the maximum animals it can change intoWould have the size of an alpha marowbreeth and approximatelyWhen the player would want to change it into a smaller one e.g. from marowbreeth to smallerThe creature would dismantle unnecessary parts and the player would have to store them or abandon themIn the first state I propose the dryfredka from subnautica 1 everyone loves it and it would give them pleasure also cat and dog but these are only propositionsWhen it would be a dryfredka it could collect to a small built-in storage small resources near the playerAnd when a marowbreeth it could ward off aggressive creatures(which maybe would gently help with players who complain about that everything attacks them and they can’t kill it , I am for not killing creatures so this idea seems positive towards both sides because players would have a defender)The player could create upgrades for the robotFor example in the larger version the player could mount attachments for portable things such as crates or air generatorsWhen it would mimic a large creature such as marowbreeth the player could ride on it it would be faster than tatpool but it wouldn’t have lights and air depositors thereforePlayers would take air generators and portable work lights thanks to which these items would be used more and the robot wouldn’t have crush depthAnd in the case of pack animals like niblersThe robot could split into 3 parts creating 3 niblers but when it splits two normal niblers are created and one gently distinguishing itself nibler (Alpha)The robot’s system would be in the Alpha and the rest are actually its parts which it controls in the case when Alpha would be damagedThe rest would stop workingTo maintain balance individual elements could break and the player would have to replace them and the robot itself could get damaged if it was damagedI think that it is a good idea and quite balanced because the player would have a companion that would protect him and the robot itself cannot change into a leviathanSuch technology could be created from combining the technology of alterra architectsAnd the most important the player could have only one and the robot wouldn’t be able to kill creatures but only ward them off or wound them to discourage them from attack alterra would program it to assist pioneers and help and not to the degradation of faunaThank you for your attention
