Why you can't access full bots?


Recommended Posts

You can't access them because they're full.

 

It's like trying to get sand from a bucket that is perfectly full without letting any sand go over the top of the fucket at all - the extra mass of the shovel will displace some, making it go over the 'full' limit.

 

Steam treats TF2 inventory the same way - if the total items in the trade are greater than the total space left in either players' backpacks, it doesn't allow the trade. as a result, even if you trade 2 weapons for 1 scrap to a 100%-full bot, despite the fact that after the trade there would be more space in the bot's backpack, it's treated like Schrodinger's Cat in that until the trade is completed both inventories are considered to have all 3 items in, putting it over the limit.

 

Thus, the only way to stop a bot being empty if it reaches that undesirable state is for it to give away some items, this is either manually done by Geel or Jesse, in which they take some items and do with them what they wish, or the bot trades some items to a storage bot automatically to free up space.
