Rusty’s Retirement – Official Twitch Integration Guide

Welcome to the Rusty’s Retirement Twitch integration guide. I’ll do my best to explain how this simple chat-based integration works and how you can get connected to your Twitch chat.

Important Info

First and foremost, this is a super simple chat-based integration with Twitch – which basically means that the game will read the chat and look out for any commands that are listed below. Currently, the integration can only be controlled through chat commands.

How to Connect

  1. First, navigate to the Settings panel and then click on TWITCH (on the right side).
  2. Enter your Username and Channel into the corresponding boxes.
  3. Generate and grab your OAuth key from this website: https://twitchapps.com/tmi
    • Important: Do not share your OAuth key with anyone.
  4. Click the CONNECT button.
  1. If successful, the message ‘(Connected)’ will appear. If unsuccessful, please double check your Username, Channel, and OAuth key.
  • When you finish your stream, it is recommended to click DISCONNECT. This will disconnect the game from the chat and automatically clear any chatter bots.

Settings

Available slots:

This gives you control over how many viewers spawn into the farm. There is a hidden cap of 300 robots but it is recommended to use somewhere in between 20 to 200. If the number is too big, there might not be enough tasks, and many robots will just sit around doing nothing.

Inactivity timer:

If a viewer has not not sent a message in chat within the time frame set here, they will be considered inactive, and their robot will automatically leave the farm freeing up space for others to join.

Any type of message (normal chatting or sending a command) will refresh the inactivity timer.

If you want to remove this option, I would recommend setting the inactivity timer to 999 minutes.

Show available slots:

Displays a little counter of how many slots have been taken vs. the maximum allowed to join.

Subscribers only:

Turn this option on if you only want subscribers to join your farm. Subscribers have an exclusive golden colored skin which sparkles and they can choose a different color by using the commands above.

Setting Up in OBS

The easiest option:

  1. Add a Window Capture to your scene in OBS
  2. Select Window: Rusty’s Retirement (application must be running)
  3. Choose Capture Method: Windows 10

Color key option:

  1. Change the background color of the game in Settings > Graphics > Green Screen
  1. Add a Window Capture to your scene in OBS
  2. Select Window: Rusty’s Retirement (application must be running)
  3. Now right-click on the Window Capture that you just added and select Filters
  4. Add a Color Key filter by clicking on the + sign in the bottom left corner
  5. Select the Key Color Type: Green
  • Play around with the settings and make sure that no grass is accidentally transparent.
    If you’re having difficulties, I recommend the settings above. Zoom in using “Ctrl +”.

Outro

I’ve added a hidden ‘Add Streamer Money’ feature which will allow you to get your farm up and running a bit faster in the beginning. When you first connect to your stream, you will be granted a few extra spare parts (coins).

Note: This only triggers once per farm!

Lastly, I would like to reiterate that this is meant to be a super simple chat-based integration which means the game can only be controlled through chat commands. Thank you for playing!
