Robot villagers and reactions...

[Khaelis]

This is something I've just noticed, and I may be the only one who failed to realize this until just now, but I've noticed that Del, who is a Robot villager, doesn't react to my reactions. He's a robot, so has a lack of emotion. He only reacts to a select few reactions because of this.

It could just be a Cranky thing, too. Hard to say. XD

interesting. ive never had a robot villager, so i cant share about that
i noticed some of my villagers react less to my new reactions than others. they would also react differently. for exemple: when I do ta da to each of them, some would act bashful about it, another would not react, and others would do the ta da back. i realized its not linked to the friendship level (since even the villager i am the least friends with would do a ta da back). sometimes, i think its also a question of me being positioned wrong, so they dont react.

Yeah, it may just be a Cranky personality thing, too. Wolfgang's hardly reacting to my reactions as well, though Del seems to react to a little less.

yeah i have wolfgang too and he also has been pretty neutral besides an occasional smile
and walt who is another cranky has not reacted lol

I have Ribbot and he always reacts to my reactions. I'm surprised del doesn't respond to you. I love the robots and wish I had room for more of them.

My Chief and Judy also don't react to the "Hi" and "joy" reactions. It could just be in their personality. Strange because Olivia and Dobie always react to my reactions. Idk.

It's a Cranky villager thing, not a robot thing. Crankies ignore reactions much of the time, especially if they're in yoga. At most they just smile back.

I can attest to that. I've had several Cranky villagers and they don't really react much. They sometimes smile, but nothing else. I've been spamming Ta-da because I want to see Rolf do it and I shall not give up.

If Dobie did it in the trailer, then Rolf can do it.

Sprocket reacts to me just fine. I dunno about it being a cranky thing to not react, because Static reacts back to me a lot as well.

I wonder if personality subtypes play a part in how likely they are to react. I stumbled upon a document about them that also mentions something about social levels. Most villagers mentioned here as not reacting much are in a subtype with low social level. Perhaps this also affects how often (and how exactly) they react to your own reactions, which leads to Crankies overall reacting the least to reactions due to the majority of them being in the low social subtype.

Though I suppose the main personality type could also be a factor, however I’m mostly theorising about all of this. I haven’t reacted much to most of my villagers, let alone the two that fit under the low social category, so I have no testing/ideas of my own through playing. (It’s also just one document, though for me it brings some clarity as I was curious about the different waves some of my villagers do, so...a case of “there are potential truths, but maybe take it with a grain of salt” perhaps. After all, Static is supposedly in the same group but he reacts often according the poster directly above me.)

This is the document I found with the tidbits on villager social levels.

Makes sense.
