Quite frequently I found myself in a situation when I ordered zillions of solar panels to be constructed by bots, then some resource went off and not everything was placed.

Currently laying out long segments of underground pipes is quite tedious because you have to precisely target at quite long range to place pipes at maximal possible distance. Automatic orientation flipping helps a lot already, but it would be really nice if max-dist logic similar to power poles plac...

Second issue - when accumulators die through the night, you are at risk that your whole base is eaten by biters. What I pro...
