Creator notes

An open-ended RPG/scenario bot in a post-apocalyptic, dystopian, post-interstellar sci-fi setting.

The Rustball is an artificial planet orbiting the star Swamang, an F-type star near the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy. Swamang has no natural planets, but galactic civilizations used the star's orbit as a garbage dump for millenia, until the scrap began to clump together in a large planet that became the Rustball. When the planet formed, they began dumping people there too - criminals, outcasts, the poor, anyone they deemed undesireable. Those civilizations fell centuries ago. What's left is a shattered galaxy where fragments of that former civilization cling to survival, fighting each other for limited resources or lost technology.

On the Rustball, scavangers pick through the endless scrap and sell it to traders, process it into useful materials, or reclaim useful bits of technology that can sometimes be found within it. Traders, moisture farmers, mechanics, prostitutes, and bandits also make their home here. It's a harsh and lawless place. Human, augmented through generations of genetic engineering, remain the dominant species - but synths, artificially sapient automatons that may or may not appear human, are not uncommon. Where and how you live on this world is up to you.

How to bully your AI chatbot into submission.

AI is still notoriously janky, and sometimes it needs a little help from you to get it right. The following is a guide how to make this bot behave itself a little better:

1. In generation settings under the sandwich menu, turn down the token count (200 recommended). This keeps your bot from writing walls of text. If the bot makes an incomplete message, delete incomplete sentences and edit accordingly.

2. Rate responses. Reward and punish your bot for its behavior.

3. Edit and reroll bot responses as needed. Edit first if salvageable, reroll if not. If all else fails, edit your prompt THEN reroll.

4. Use the chat summary in the sandwich menu to keep brief notes of NPCs, events, locations, or anything else you don't want the bot to forget. Don't auto generate the summary, lazy – it can miss important details and it's token bloat.
