How it works
The developer describes changed delivery and off-screen operation in patch 1.0.4. Confirm your game version before following an older guide.

What the robot data describes
The analyzed J.O.O.N.A.S. robot prefab has a 60 kg onboard-capacity field and a 5.6 m cleaning-width field. The corresponding structure definition lists a $20,000 base price. Those fields are useful for comparisons, but no runtime cleaning or delivery rate has been measured.
Do not add the robot’s capacity to the catcher as though they were one container. The developer’s 1.0.4 announcement describes a 100 kg catcher; the relation between that patch and our local build commit has not been independently confirmed.
Check current behavior before using old advice
In the developer’s 1.0.4 notes, J.O.O.N.A.S. keeps cleaning without nearby players and launches capsules toward the nearest catcher without returning to a dock. Earlier player reports may describe behavior from before that change.
When it appears stuck, observe one complete cycle: current activity, bin indication, capsule launch, catcher state and the receiver’s downstream path. Document the version and save context; those checks do not establish a universal fix.
If it isn’t working
- Observe the unit and its catcher separately, then check the receiver output for congestion.
- Do not assume an older off-screen bug is still present after the patch.
Frequently asked questions
Does J.O.O.N.A.S. have to return to a dock?
The developer reported changing that behavior in patch 1.0.4. Check your version and current in-game behavior.
What does J.O.O.N.A.S. cost?
The analyzed building definition contains a $20,000 base price. Confirm the build-menu price in your version.
How much dust can J.O.O.N.A.S. hold?
The analyzed robot prefab has a 60 kg onboard-capacity field. It is separate from the catcher capacity described in the developer’s patch notes.
Base price, ports and numeric specifications are from static game files for build f87fd7e5. Performance and actual placement have not been verified in-game. Game updates can change these values. Read the methodology. For the dated behavior changes, see the developer’s 1.0.4 notes.
