I'm trying to replace all the normal quality bots in my network (in this case, on Vulcanus) with legendary bots. I've already staged the legendary bots in a chest next to a roboport, but I wanted to pull the normal ones out first, from the same roboport. To do this, I've put an inserter next to roboport, and requested 500 of each (construction & logistic) bots to go to that roboport, with the thought that this would ultimately pull all of the normal quality bots out, as as soon as a bot lands, it should be pulled out of the roboport and into the chest, and thus the request will never be fully fulfilled, and all the normal quality bots will be pulled out of the network.
What happened?
I'm not entirely sure. All of the logistic bots appear to have been pulled out of the network, but many of the construction bots remain. There's a large group of them above the roboport, that, as best as I can tell, appear to be constantly entering it from the animation (though it's hard to tell with so many bots overlapping one another). However, these bots never actually enter the roboport, and thus, are never removed. The logistic request constantly shows a varying number of bots as "on the way", but they never get there.
What did you expect to happen instead?
The construction robots to enter the roboport.
Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
I haven't tested yet on other planets, but it still occurs on Vulcanus even after reloading my save. The bots are still in the air and the animation still shows them entering the roboport but never getting in.
