That's a really neat setup. Might be interesting to make a blueprint book for this to advance faster in new worlds. Might be useful in my automatic self building factory.
But then you also need the logistics bots. And those require more resources to build and you might already have a big conbot swarm because those are useful in lower tech. I agree that in many cases it is simpler to just set up the minimum required slow factory for a few yellow drinks. But it could still be useful, and even more important, an interesting puzzle for more advanced builders that want to do it because it is a bit silly
It's not really my design, but based on one by KatherineOfSky. She started with the belt and inserter section I think and then people on one of her servers just added more and stuff after that. Then she adjusted it over time to her tastes. So did I. By and large it's still the same, but beyond the start I basically redid the entire thing with the same ideas in mind. Sometimes I wanted things in different places. Sometimes recipes changed or new ones were added. I made the power poles OCD friendly
I meant the system of doing logistics with conbots. The mall thing is neat too, but somewhat standardized and not as quirky as using conbots for logistics with by using the circuit system. I realize now that the part that I find neat isn't actually in the game though without mods. You can't automate sending away items by deconstruction of storage chests without recursive blueprints. So it doesn't do all what I thought it did first time I read it. But I am using recursive blueprints in my self building factory, so I can automate destroying/rebuilding chests and completely replace logbots.
