Makes bots visible on the map / minimap the same way biters are visible So you can see what parts of your factory are busy!

This is a great mod. Could you change the bots' color do they stand out from the buildings?

Just figured out how to do it and added colors to individual bots in version 0.3.0. Logistic bots are now white and construction bots are yellow.

Thanks! Looks great! Unfortunately, I can't get it it to work in multiplayer. The joining computer gets a message that mod configuration doesn't match.

Hopefully same error.

Is it possible to add the bots from bobs mods and 5dim please?

Yeah all bots are now affected by this mod. Thought it was already so but i made a mistake. version 0.4.0 should fix it.

Thank you! It works.
Is there also a way to setup different colors for different robots?
Like In bobs mod there are up to mk4 robots.

It's definetly possible to do but this mod won't do it as it would require me to make special cases for those bots which is something i don't want to do.

I couldn't find a version of this mod which had been updated for Factorio versions >= 0.13, so I did it myself.

Sorry about that. I updated and uploaded it to the mod page https://mods.factorio.com/mods/keyboard ... sible_Bots

I cleaned the code a little, added link to forum topic in the info file, tweaked colours slightly, refactored code to make it a little clearer. Fixed folder vs. json version number mismatch. V0.4.2 attached.

Great. Thank you.

I got bored and updated this to 0.14, enjoy!
