Robo-Dog

The Robo-Dog is the first friendly NPC in Zompiercer, added in the 10.0 update, and a potential companion for players to use in their adventures.

Location
Robo-Dog can found in the Dead City, inside the storage room of the Warehouse along with an Engineering Bench. In order to permanently add it to the train, players must pick it up with their free hands (similar to picking up a metal barrel), carry it onto the train, and place it down. Because Robo-Dog cannot get on and off the train by itself, players will have to pick it up and carry it anytime they want to use it.

Functions
As of the 10.0 update, Robo-Dog has limited functions as it is a newly added work in progress. Its functions can be accessed by placing the cursor over it and pressing E to open its menu.

Commands
Robo-Dog can activated or deactivated, and can be commanded to follow the player or wait in place. Future plans include the addition of commands to attack enemies and/or retreat in case of damage.

Upgrades
Robo-Dog can be upgrade with cloth or leather storage bags, allowing it to carry large amounts of items. Future plans include the addition of weapon turrets to allow it to attack enemies.
