I don't see why not.

If this happens, I think the current turrets should stay and be renamed to plasma weapons (or something) since they're cool.

Or how about research to increase the laser "bullet" speed?

I would like to disagree, choosing which input is what seems more logical. Having the chemical plant accept anything anywhere is like a gas station not caring whether their gasoline storage gets resupplied with diesel or gasoline (the engine that gets diesel instead of gasoline will care ;)) If we ...

It doesn't make a ton of sense to move mining drills around like that. Shouldn't they be stuck in the ground?

Yes, just load it in the new version...

I would say that any liquid should be accepted into any input. You shouldn't need to pre-define which inputs take which liquids - it's defined by which liquids you actually pipe in.

I heard that oil barrels were a temporary solution until they add tanker wagons. So maybe oil barrels will be removed...

Logistics/construction "patrol points" could be as simple as setting sliders in a roboport for how many robots to keep in that roboport.

We can. These robots are called dishwashers.

No, that is just how you prefer to play.

And this is just how you prefer to play.

when I'm modding things, I tend to need to increase stack sizes of buildings. This is because of 2 points: 1. Automation means inserters want to have at least twice as many items in a factory than is needed to run the production once. 2. Inserter stack size bonuses will mean an inserter tries to ca...

I think Advanced Electronics should probably require plastics. since this science is also required for modules, as well as the circuit being required to make everything in your list (Either directly, or via modules) then this should solve the problem. Modules does require advanced electronics, righ...

I would prefer to increase the coverage of a substation. Currently it's 14x14 - how about 20x20 or even 30x30? And increase medium electric poles to 9x9 or 11x11 - otherwise we have "small", "still small" and "huge" sized electric poles. Right now there's not much reaso...

Other than avoiding putting wires on belts? ... which is not a reason. Other than being easily adaptable to fully logistic control and supply?

This thread is not about personal roboports.

Heres what I do in my rso worlds. At every mining outpost, I make a station titled #PT station name 1. Use hashtag so its at the top of the list. Then make a locomotive only train, and tell it to go to your new player train station. I know what you mean by going far distances, but teleporting to me...

I was thinking maybe you could use something like a blueprint to designate a zone for them to guard. EDIT: For clarification, like a zone of interest and you'd say "have 20 robots keep an eye on this" and it's a boxed area. Maybe a tower or outpost or miniroboport that the military robots...
