Returbot (Grabbers Edition)
This is a levelpack for Colobot: Gold Edition of 40+ levels that take place on alien planets from the original game story, to which they are very similar in spirit and structure, available in english and russian. This is version 1.0h, see changelog below.
Installation
Unpacking of the archive is not needed. Simply place it in "C:\Users\username\colobot\mods\" directory on Windows or in "/home/username/.local/share/colobot/mods/" directory on Linux.
Compatibility
This version is compatible with Colobot: Gold Edition 0.1.11, 0.1.11a and 0.1.12 (more precisely 0.1.12-4), but not any older. It may or may not be compatible with a future version of Colobot unless builder bots are introduced in it.
Issues
Colobot: Gold Edition itself is still in the state of active development, but this addon already heavily relies on features that are relatively new and may have unfixed bugs. Most of the time everything should be fine, until you save and load in some of levels. If you get "illegal object" error message right after loading a savegame then you should delete that savegame and either restart the level or try another savegame. Level 5-4 "Rescue op" is more likely to cause trouble than any other levels when it comes to savegames, so be warned.
Free levels
There are 8 free levels. With level controllers and some CBOT features I managed to implement dependence of researches and buildings maps on your progress in mission levels. The progress will advance for as long you beat each mission level sequentially, starting from the very first and without skipping any.
Important! Do not hit ESC button to skip animation too quickly when beginning or ending a level or level controller will never count your beating the level! Wait at least a couple of seconds.
To make free levels playable, you must at least launch level 1-1 "Movement" once.
If you don't want to begin some level from the start again because you already played it, you can load a savegame from that level and proceed from that place.

Credits
Big thanks to melex750, for creating userlevel helper, because this levelpack would never exist without it in the first place, and for fixing bugs in level controller of level 4-4 "Explosives".
