W.I.N.bot is an item/mob exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in the Skill Spotlight Updates. It can only be crafted by Winona with 8 Scrap, 4 Electrical Doodads, and 3 Doohickeys after unlocking the crafting recipe by scanning W.O.B.O.T. with a Calibrated Perceiver (requiring Founder's Keepers I skill).
== Usage ==
W.I.N.bot can be carried like an item in the inventory. Only Winona can deploy it on the ground to make it work. Other characters can only drop W.I.N.bot on the ground, leaving it inactive.
== Behavior ==
When deployed, W.I.N.bot will collect nearby items from the floor and put them in a Chest if any of these already contains one of the specific items. This also works for almost all other containers like Scaled Chests, Ice Boxes, Salt Boxes, Chester, and all kind of Backpacks. However, it cannot put items into the Magician's Chest, Shadow Chester, or any kind of portable inventory containers like the Tackle Box or Polar Bearger Bin. It can only collect one kind of item at once and only up to its stacksize limit, so reaching the limit will force it to store the stack before collecting the next stack or other items.
When W.I.N.bot is working, its charge will slowly decrease. A charge lasts for 8 minutes of work. When W.I.N.bot reaches 2% energy, it will return to its deploy point. If this is in the range of Winona's Generator or Winona's G.E.M.erator, it will recharge automatically, otherwise it have to be dropped there manually. When dropped in range, the bulb at the top of W.I.N.bot will light up and a cable becomes visible on its side leading into the ground. A full recharge takes 4 minutes (or 2 minutes after learning the Quick Charge skill). When fully charged, the light of W.I.N.bot will turn off. W.I.N.bot will not reactivate itself automatically until it has recharged at least 50% of its energy.
W.I.N.bot operates in a radius of 15m (3.75 tiles) from the point it was deployed. W.I.N.bot will switch to sleep mode if there is nothing to pick up to save energy, and reactivate itself when there is.
Unlike W.O.B.O.T., W.I.N.bot does not get affected by Rain or Wetness and can be also taken into Caves.
== Tips ==
* Other characters should be careful not to pick up a W.I.N.bot, as they cannot deploy it to make it work again. As long as it stays deployed in the range of a Generator or G.E.M.erator, W.I.N.bot can work and recharge itself without the help of a Winona.
** This can be very helpful when changing the character at the Portal Paraphernalia in a solo world or when there is no Winona on the server left.
* Using W.I.N.bots can be very useful for auto-collecting vegetables/fruits and Crop Seeds from hammered Giant Crops, Logs and Pine Cones from a wood farm, or Meat from a mob farm, before Pigs or Spiders can eat the meat.
== Trivia ==
* W.I.N.bot was added in the Skill Spotlight: Wurt & Winona update.
