The blockhead will also eat and sleep when necessary, and place light sources when it is dark. | |||
One can limit the blockhead's options while wearing the tin foil hat by enclosing it in a room containing only it and the block or plant. This could potentially be used for making a farm automatic, and the like. | |||
==Notes== | |||
When playing with multiple blockheads in [[Single Player|single player]], it is not unusual for there to be more blockheads than the player can keep constantly occupied. The use of a tin foil hat makes a blockhead self-directed, thus it will [[Harvesting|harvest]] and [[Mining|mine]] without being instructed. The tin foil hat can be removed to more easily allow any [[item]]s it has collected to be transferred elsewhere. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
* In the world of [[The Blockheads]], the only "mind controller" is the player of the game. When the user gives a blockhead a task, the blockhead will mindlessly obey. With the introduction of the tin foil hat came the idea of 'free will' for blockheads, where their mind is not being controlled by a 'god', or 'The User of the Device', or 'Player', which is quite a charming and humorous perspective in the world of The Blockheads, where each blockhead is considered as a unique individual with free will who do not like us (players) controlling them. | |||
