I've always been an avid belt user, mainly because I’ve had an intuitive sense that belts are more UPS-efficient than having a swarm of bots flying around the map. Plus, with my PC being on the weaker side, I’ve leaned heavily towards belts, with about 90% of my base relying on them. Recently, ...

... as they are produced, and only untag it once it is upgraded to the highest quality you have unlocked. This ends up being a bit more work for the bots, but removes some annoying grind work from the player.

... uncommon AM, apply the planner to your base, and when you produce that uncommon AM and put it into a Storage/Passive provider chest , construction bots will take it and do the upgrade. 0eNqlkGFuwjAMhe/i360EhaI10k4yocpQDyLFTkhcBKp69zmbxgX45/ee/Vn2AnO6ZJxoTAFFKINboJCql0upNWNKlK38WuA7R66ePhOBAxL1+oQGBLlqLIX4FGyyZTxfvVC7s/Q2Y6h9DiRmxmDWOXLCjBptHXzC2oDGd8CzGJGjmMlxmgONwbNXcJuXUULUesXRlnmZ6GHh+iuUuCL+3tD+v6GBu53tjen6Qzfsh6Hvd93249Ct6w/ZpWjQ

... and it’s necessary to have everything properly cached. In the end, though, I didn’t use trains for further distribution. Instead, I upgraded my bots to level 14, which cost me about 512k research packs. Now the bots handle the distribution from that point onward. Since we're discussing train ...

Did you even open and build the BP? It is very basic and very simple. Yes the train proceeds in a circle. I manually build the wall with bots and inventory. The train then supplies everything needed to repair/rebuild the wall as it is damaged. First wagon has all the supplies and spots saved. ...

... my items; (Including 50ish roboports and all my basic resources and uncliffers) are nowhere to be found, do any of you have any idea of where the bots could have taken them? cuz I wasnt paying attention during the process 01-08-2025, 18-03-41.png 01-08-2025, 18-04-06.png

... or want? Probably never, but those situations can occur naturally: For example a construction bot hovering at it's destination, waiting for other bots to clear an obstruction or to place landfill, or any bot tasked to store an item, but without storage space to do so. It feels to me like the Factorio ...

if you automate quality machines in the early game, you don't have much of that quality machine. so I propose that when a quality machine is made bots will automatically be sent to upgrade a lower Quilty machine.

... objects -- or possibly *add* a connection. An alternative would be to have the network enabled by default on these surfaces, but unable to have bots used, therefore allowing the wireless read of items, without the belt-less transportation of them.

... at the maximum distance. Am I misunderstanding? As far as factorio is concerned, "operational time" is the time it takes to drain the bots battery ("energy capacity"). If the bot is doing something energy intensive, i.e. moving, that time will be short: minimum operational ...

... included the current.log file From what I could gleam after a glance at the file, it may be heat buffer related, as I was in the process of having bots build my nuclear reactor (through it was far from running yet). The game just crashed completely, with only an option to open the current.log file. ...

... too close (so they just smash them without taking damage) with gun turrets, missiles, and sparse tesla's on my regular run... non-stop alerts and bots rebuilding stuff. I think I will always save Gleba for last just so it's less time having to worry about defending a second planet. I would be ...

Thanks for the report. I don't believe we will be changing this. You simply have to do it manually in this case.

Here I have 50 green belts requests at a time for bots, until 800 belts, and start requesting again at < 100 belts. And 4K tungsten plate starting at 0 until 4K, with cleanup requestor.

But yes, very annoying. I like to keep my trees!

Good point. Obvious, yet I never thought of it

How could you live without a book of deconstruction & upgrade planners?
