Buy your first bot
Once you have access, buy your first Collector Bot for $100 at Workbot Storage. After purchase, it starts looking for a bucket.
What does your Collector Bot need to work?
You need empty buckets available for your Collector Bot to work.
If your new bot is looking for a bucket, check that you have an empty one available. Buying the bot alone does not cover this requirement.

How do you upgrade your Collector Bot?
You use crystals on your Collector Bot to upgrade it, up to level 5.
Use a crystal on your bot
Apply a crystal to your Collector Bot to raise its level. Different crystals add different amounts:
| Crystal | Upgrade |
|---|---|
| Other crystals | Add two levels |
| Purple Chalazite | Adds three levels |
| Pink Chalazite | Upgrades the bot |
Upgrade until level 5
Level 5 is the maximum, so that is your upgrade target. A level 3 bot needs one more upgrade to reach level 5. The level 3 upgrade also gives the bot a small antenna.

You need a Wrench to repair your Collector Bot when it breaks down.
Bots break during operation, so you need to repair them periodically. Buy a Wrench and use it to repair the broken bot.
Keep both requirements in mind: empty buckets let your bot work, and a Wrench repairs it after a breakdown.
