When a blockhead begins to act based on a tin foil hat, blue/light blue particles will emit between the action and the blockhead and the acted upon block <!-- maybe creatures too? --> will have an image of the tin foil hat superimposed over it. The hat will only plan one action at a time and may abort player-specified actions. | When a blockhead begins to act based on a tin foil hat, blue/light blue particles will emit between the action and the blockhead and the acted upon block <!-- maybe creatures too? --> will have an image of the tin foil hat superimposed over it.

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 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. | 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 occupied.

==Trivia== | ===Trivia=== | ||
In the world of 'The Blockheads', the only "mind controller" is the user of the device. When the user gives a blockhead a task, the blockhead will mindlessly obey. With the introduction of the tinfoil hat came the introduction of a unique blockhead quality of 'free will' for the 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 (the user of the device) controlling them. | In the world of 'The Blockheads', the only "mind controller" is the user of the device.
