How to get your bots into CR if you're stuck on manual

Postby Glyph » Wed Jul 30, 2025 9:09 pm

Hi all - as we still have the issue with the manual CR button not showing up, I thought I'd share this workaround if you're stuck with damaged / stasis locked bots that you can't heal up. It's hacky, but should get you back in the fight!

You'll need to use the javascript console for this, but hopefully the following steps are clear even if you're not comfortable with the techie side.

  1. Go to the CR Chamber
  2. On that page, hit F12 to open the Developer tools
  3. Go to the Console tab (top left of the Developer window on Chrome / Firefox)
  4. Copy-paste the code below into the console where the flashing cursor is and hit Enter - the 'select all' button doesn't seem to work on the forum, but you can just drag-select it. It should all be on one line in the console.
    Code: Select all
    document.getElementsByName("cr_chamber")[0].insertAdjacentHTML("beforeend",'<button type="submit">Submit</button>')

If done correctly, this will add a temporary 'Submit' button to the CR form. Select your bots in need of recovery and click 'Submit' as normal. Your bots will enter CR and start the timer. (Tested on Chrome/Firefox, if you're using another browser the steps should be similar.)

At this point, I strongly suggest setting your CR options to default to Automatic on the Options page. Yeah, it costs more (unfortunately), but at least it means you don't have to do this every time.

Hope the steps above can help out anyone who's still stuck out of action! If you have any trouble with it, drop a reply here and I'll try to help.
