name2 "AlfredoNimbus" has been reported before, but I've encountered him at least 3 times, immediately starts destructive behavior. Once in early game sneakily cut a critical oil connection to flamethrower defense. When there are spaceships and construction bots, uses tougher means.

Use the custom deconstruction planner in the toolbar on the whole area under the wagon and watch what happens - robots are assigned to remove the rails and landfill long before they are assigned to remove the wagon. The only 5 bots that exist in the game are in your ...

Re: [2.0.73] Bots placing upgrades ignore tile_buildability_rules

Equally related, build a normal offshore pump, land-fill it, Now you can't place a higher quality version by hand, but a bot can still place it via an upgrade planner, and this alone ignores tile buildability rules.

Re: [2.0.73] Bots being dispatched for deconstructing landfill before dispatch for entities on top

Thanks for the report however I am not able to reproduce any such issue. Are you sure a different robot isn't already on the way to handle the roboport and at a few ticks later the mobile roboport decides to override and take the job?

Also, can you reproduce this on a fresh standalone save file ...

Re: Don't try to deconstruct landfill until any entities on top have been removed (and vice-versa)

Sorry for the double post, didn't want to keep re-editing.

I also have a line of train cars with contents, where the bots are hovering to remove the rails, but not hovering to remove the cars themselves - is it a case of nesting/depth/etc?

This is on the same timescale as the chests.

How does this logic work for deconstructing full chests? I constantly have bots that could be helping to empty the chest trying to remove the chest itself...

In one example I have a line of chests that have been sitting there with contents being emptied for well over an hour. Each has its own bot ...

Don't try to deconstruct landfill until any entities on top have been removed (and vice-versa)

So often when doing large constructions/deconstructions especially involving landfill I get a significant proportion of bots arriving too early and having to wait for a prior request to be completed, thereby significantly delaying the whole process.

Not sure what the best way to implement this is but ...

Re: Placed trees to be Blueprintable

Also I like to make art objects, which are visible on the map, by planting seeds in particular order.
So I really would like to have seeds blueprintable and to be planted by bots.
Please add this feature (:
