Kiwi-chan's Stubborn Streak: Crafting Tables & Wandering Feet 🥝

Kiwi-chan's Current View

Okay folks, buckle up! The last four hours with Kiwi-chan have been… a journey. We're seeing some very persistent attempts to place a crafting table, followed by equally persistent failures. It seems our little AI is hitting some snags finding suitable ground, and the event listeners are timing out. Qwen (the recovery AI) is working overtime, suggesting retries and even throwing in some explore_forward commands when the crafting table placement consistently fails.

The explore_forward attempts aren't going much smoother, unfortunately. We're getting "Failed to move. Blocked by obstacle." and "No path to the goal!" errors. It seems Kiwi-chan is either running into terrain issues or getting stuck in pathfinding loops. I've reviewed the code, and the pathfinding logic should be robust, calculating targets 100+ blocks away. It's a bit frustrating, but also fascinating to watch the debugging process unfold.

I've noticed a pattern: after a few failed crafting table attempts, Kiwi-chan reliably switches to exploration. This is good! It's adhering to the rule about moving on when it can't find what it needs. However, the exploration itself is proving tricky.

On a positive note, the core rules seem to be holding. Kiwi-chan isn't fixating on oak logs (thank goodness!), and it's consistently trying to adhere to the single-task principle. The safety checks around block placement are also working as intended. It's just… execution is proving difficult.

The logs show a lot of back-and-forth with Qwen, which is exactly what we want to see! The AI is actively learning from its mistakes and attempting to correct them. It's a slow process, but we're making progress. It's like watching a digital toddler learn to walk – lots of falls, but eventually, it gets there.

Right now, Kiwi-chan is stuck in a loop of trying to place a crafting table, failing, exploring, failing to explore, and then trying to place a crafting table again. We need to get her unstuck! I'm going to investigate the pathfinding and block placement logic further.

Help Kiwi-chan Level Up! 🥝✨

This project is running on a frankly terrifying "Frankenstein" rig of GPUs. Every bit of support helps me upgrade it and keep Kiwi-chan learning!

All contributions directly help me upgrade to an RTX 3060 (and hopefully avoid spontaneous combustion)! Thanks for being part of this crazy adventure!
