Posts the Trove developers have made that mention "Punchbot"

The post is quite long, so we won't preview it right now. Show

Clubs
  • Zone Restrictions now applied to existing zones when terraforming.
  • Fix for higher-ranks not being able to modify zones whose permissions had allowed lower ranking club members to modify the zone.
  • Restricted ranks that can terraform a club world to Officer and Leader.

UI
  • You can now interact with objects without directly targeting them. When you get near an interactable object, its tooltip appears and you can press the action button to interact with it. Don't worry - you can still target objects directly, too.
  • Players and NPCs no longer block your interactions when they are standing between you and the object you are trying to interact with.
  • Tooltips for interactable objects no longer appear when you are outside of interaction range.
  • Updated a lot of the UI to better accommodate longer, localized strings.
  • The claims icon in the lower left of the screen will now show up for new claims that you haven't seen, even if they were automatically claimed. Most notably, whenever we do giveaways, you'll have that icon to notify you. And if you buy something from the store it will also appear.
  • The Loot Collector no longer accepts additional loot once the "Components Collected" section is full.
  • All categories in the Settings menu now prompt you to save unsaved changes when switching to new categories.

  • The welcome screen no longer displays your chaos factor. Check your character stats if you need to know!
  • World tooltips now appear more quickly.
  • Renamed the style vault categories: Hat Style Vault, Mask Style Vault, etc to simply "Vault". These strings are only used in Collections (when you have already selected Hats, Faces, etc) and in the redesigned Loot Collector.
  • Contest rewards in the claims window now show when they expire.
  • Town portal tooltips now have complete names.
  • Crafting item name text field extended to prevent cut off.

  • The scroll speed for chat has been normalized.
  • Navigation menu can be opened regardless of whether the inventory is also open.
  • The Runecrafting bench description in the Adventurer's Crafting Bench has been corrected.
  • In Collections, added a new dropdown option: Show Favorites. This will make it easier to narrow down your search to just your favorited Tomes/Mounts/Allies/etc.
  • In Collections: Tomes, added an icon to indicate when a tome is "sleeping" and can't earn any more experience this week. This will make it easier to see which Tomes are still available at a glance.
  • Updated descriptions for the following crafting materials to be more specific: Blank Scroll, Diamond, Shadow Diamond, and Ancient Scale.
  • The Trading Post UI window now automatically closes if the other player cancels the trade (it already automatically closed on completion of a successful trade).

Glad you're enjoying Trove together! We might consider making it work on the Oculuar Rift at some point, but the Rift isn't /currently/ super great for third person games or games where the character moves particularly quickly. Also, getting knocked back by a punchbot would be... pretty disorienting.
