Bots
Bots, previously called Golems, are mechanized 
beavers that perform most duties that normal beavers do. There are also duties that only bots can perform. Bots are not affected by working hours or well-being; they have a Condition instead.
Factions
Bots from each faction have an unique look and their mechanism differ a little.
Timberbots
The bots for 
Folktails are called 
Timberbots.
They need to be refilled with 
Biofuel to work and can be boosted by 
Catalysts.
Ironbots
The bots for 
Iron Teeth are called 
Ironbots.
They need to recharge Energy in 
Charging Stations to work and can be boosted by the radius of a 
Control Tower.
Workplaces
Bots are not affected by working hours. This means that they perform their duties 24/7.
At first only a select workplaces are available for bots. The rest needs to be unlocked with 
Science Points.

Bots cannot work at 
Power Wheel, 
Inventor and 
Observatory. All other duties that normal beavers can do are also available for bots. Before Update 5, only bots could work at a 
Terraforming Station and 
Dirt Excavator.
Condition
Bots are not affected by regular well-being needs.
Instead, they have their own set of needs called Condition.
Lifespan
Bots have a fixed lifespan of 70 days. This is indicated for each bot by their durability. Once the durability reaches 0, the bot will break down.
Given that bots require 36 hours of assembly at a Bot Assembler and assuming that they are running full time (staffed by bots), each assembler will maintain a consistent bot population of 46.67. Thus, an ideal ratio might be 3 assemblers maintaining a population of 140 bots.
History
- Bots were introduced in Update 2.
- Before Update 3, Bots were called Golems and had a different model.
