I used an upgrade planner to replace efficiency modules 3 with speed modules 3 in an assembler, but cancelled the upgrade using control+Z while the bots were mid-flight (after collecting the speed modules, but before reaching the machine). The bots returned the speed modules to a storage chest ...

... science.


Sure, but especially if you've played the game before and have a lot of blueprints, just starting out with armor and construction bots can make things much faster than having to lay out everything by hand. Plus you won't have to chop trees, mine large rocks, etc.; just have the bots ...

... If you search the mod portal for "start" you can find a lot of mods that promise a faster start, often by providing you with armor, construction bots, etc. to get you going quickly. A few examples:

I guess this "not being able to upgrade" mechanic also makes it that you can't ghost (shift place) a higher quality nest over the existing ones.
This means that you can't replace existing nests with higher quality ones with bots if you have an upcycling loop for them.

... ve been obsessed with the idea of trigger technologies, and I've seen in mods such as Muluna, building a rocket silo requires building 100 logistic bots in order to unlock the technology.

I looked for this kind of mod already, and I don't have much mod experience besides the Fire Armor tutorial mod ...

... of via ground but there is a mod to address this.

but, just like anyone else who lays concrete everywhere, there is one major issue: the bots are not suited for this task. It's a massive job, it's so massive, that you spend few hours waiting.

The ideea of concrete to behave like space ...

... chests with reinforced conrete I wanted to relocate (around 90k),
so I placed 32 buffer chests, each requesting 4k.

I have around 3800 logistic bots in my network and after most of the material was moved, I noticed many
bots flying to chests that were already completely emptied, just to leave ...

... operations area though, or the mindset that you're using this for ore runs. A single 1-1-1 delivering parts to a planned base can be filled up by bots, sent 500 meters to unload into passive provider chests. And that cuts out 500 meters of latency in your first 20 hours of play. You'd have to have ...

... one tile higher then immediately undid it. After that the assembler had 4 module requests instead of 2. There are still 2 module slots, and the bots ignore the two extra module requests. After copypasting the bugged assembler, the new one also has 4 requests but the bots ignore all of them. Tried ...

... The ice, just process it into water. The rest: Obviously plates, coal and then legendary circuits and plastic. But plastic needs petroleum which lacks quality ...

As it is low volume: Maybe a sushi belt? I would like to avoid bots here as they could mess it up....

Any hints would be welcome :)

... where you can make it mark the replaced entity for deconstruction instead, then it could be manually destroyed without letting the user (or their bots) have a chance to actually mine it.

This would also be a possible fix for a bad bug I have in my mod that's much easier than stopping using fast ...

... the crashed ship: a pallet "building" that has the constituent items in it's inventory, and then they could be deconstructed the regular way with bots, or by hand.

These pallet "buildings" could be spawned item shower style whenever something happens that would have them appear outside their ...

... chest* because i want to store items for surface as priority. Chest on video disabled by circuit network as you can see on video.

What happened?
Bots take items from *Disabled* chest to send items into space.

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
I ...

It provides the count of "Repair Packs" stored in the Roboport. This allows Construction Bots to store them in a convenient location, instead of having to fly back/forth from a Storage Chest each time.

As the Tooltip says, "Robot requests" only affects Bots which are already Members of the Network; you need to use an Inserter to move them from the Chest (where they are "Items") into the Roboport. Good Luck!

... multiple items into a single one, and then load those onto the trains. These palletized items (pallets from now on) would not be transportable via bots or belts.

By manipulating how many items it takes to make each pallet, and the stack size of the pallets, the number of items a regular cargo wagon ...

Simple, minor bug.

Offshore pump looks like it requires solid ground under the output tile, but that's actually not required. Order bots to place landfill together with offshore pump, and if the bot carrying pump arrives first, it'll place the pump even if there's no landfill.

Attached video ...

... to go from shell loading station to bottom left of my new "orderly" solar field to remove nests with a bunch of ctrl+click in between
i also told bots to place 16 locomotives and like 10 artillery wagons at the shell loading station so i could get rid of a newly discovered nest at the top of the ...

... works.

After all, fish heals? yeah, ok? how many people use this effect? Not a lot? How many people wish to put the fish back in water because the bots picked it up as you cleared the land, and you don't want the fish to become spoilage? See what i mean. Neither are game breaking, neither are ...
