Can Brave New Wonders Program Automatons Offline?
A player reports the plain-language generator fails offline; an offline roadmap is unconfirmed.
Quick Answer
A Steam player reports that plain-language automaton programming does not work while offline. The game also has a behaviour editor and preset library, but we have not found a developer statement confirming which of those tools work offline or promising a future offline generator. Treat an offline mode as unconfirmed.

What has been reported
The question came from a player who enjoyed the natural-language system but found that it stopped working without a network connection. That is a player report, not a published system requirement or an official diagnosis. If this is happening to you, distinguish failure to generate a new behaviour from failure to run an already assigned one.
What you can check
When connected, try a preset or open the behaviour graph to see how the selected automaton is configured. The developer documents both options. Do not assume that merely installing the game makes the text generator available offline; no official offline support claim was found in the sources checked for this page.
Roadmap status
We have not found a developer commitment or release date for offline natural-language generation. Check the game’s Steam announcements and the original discussion for a new reply before relying on a future change.
