Hey, today I’m releasing a Discord bot that I’ve been working on as a personal project for a few months now. I never really expected it to grow to do as much as it does, but I hope that everyone can find it at least somewhat useful.
View Catsack’s website
So what does it do?
This bot aims to be a “Discord bot for everything Tower Unite”
The main feature of the bot is its ability to post (almost) instant updates relating to Tower Unite straight to a channel of your choosing.
At the time of writing this post, the bot supports the following update sources: (expand below for images)

- Development ‘Sneak Peaks’

These images/videos are taken straight from the forum thread.
- Forum Announcements

- Trello

That’s amazing! How can I use it?
I’m glad you’re interested! Follow the steps below to get setup.
To add the bot to your server, click here and follow the process to inviting the bot to your server.
Note: the bot needs those permissions to function correctly, avoid removing them unless you’re seriously concerned about giving the bot that many permissions.
Once the bot is in your server, create a channel that you’d like the updates to be posted in.
Note: This is not neccessary, but it’s advised to have a separate channel to avoid having the bot’s messages lost in other people talking.
Then finally, enter the following command: cs!createwebhook
And… that’s it! You’re done. From now on, updates will be posted to this channel.
Want further customisation? Run the cs!updates
command to manage what type of updates will be sent to your channel.
Extra features
Through Catsack’s website, you can currently view global chat messages without being in-game. I plan on expanding the website’s functionality in the near future with various things that might be useful (at least, until we get the official Tower Unite website update that will probably rival everything I plan on adding…)
The bot has the ability to search through all items in Tower Unite. By running the command as shown below, you can receive information on every single item in the game through our own database.
In addition to this, you can also list off all milestone items for every activity using the command shown below.
There’s a few other commands available, but the post would be too long if I discussed them all here. Run the cs!help
command for a list of commands, and cs!help (command)
for help relating to a specific command.
Thank you.
I plan on continuing to work on this personal project of mine, I want to create something that can be useful and I’m always willing to take suggestions/feedback from others. I really want to provide further functionality and I’m always looking for ideas. If you do try this bot in your own server, let me know what you think.
Thanks.
