Hej,
Can you make some functionality that lets me use ONLY my own personal roboport and not that of my network? This will come in handy if I'm constructing something small or experimenting with an 8-belt balancer or something so the materials don't have to come from a mile away which takes ages. Or when I want to move something so I deconstruct it but then half the items get picked up by my network.

If you have all the materials in your inventory and you're not building more things than you have robots available then your own roboport takes priority. Besides that no, I don't have control over the base network. And... why post in two placed at once. That's just redundant.

It wasn't clear from the description if this is a feature request or already supported --
Is there is regular 'disable' option? Like, just turn roboports off, regardless of the surrounding coverage? My biggest problem is with suicidal construction bots, so being able to manually completely turn the system off would be very useful.

Currently not. I still haven't figured out the ruleset on how the manual toggle should or shouldn't interact with the automtic disabling.

Always-on / area-controlled / Always-off?
While I'm at it, how possible would it be to have an option for the player to inherit the "roboport-while-moving" property of the vehicle he is in?

That no longer makes it a simple toggle but multiple options you have to cycle through, and that means you have to cycle through options you don't want, but which nevertheless are active for long enough to launch robots and even if the roboports are immediately disabled they finish their task before returning.
Plus I don't want to add more options just because otherwise it just becomes a mess of hotkeys and the way they interact with each other is never going to be intuitive to everyone.

I've got this error upon loading my save:
/src/main.lua:79: Attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
And I've found the cause.
You are iterating through the deactivated networks in reversed order but you did not specify a step size in your for-loop of -1. I don't know if you forgot it or you assumed that it automatically uses -1 if the endindex is below the startindex but even if it does, it would still go wrong. If there are 0 deactivated networks than the startpoint would be 0 and the endpoint would be 1 and the stepsize would default to 1 again.
So you still need to specify it.
The same goes for the other loop (looping through deactivated_entity_networks) just a few lines down.
I made the change myself and it fixes the error.

Hey, have a bug report for you.
Factorio 0.14.9
personal-roboport-switch_0.1.3
boblibrary_0.14.2
The following error pops up:
Code: Select all
Error Util.cpp:57: Error in assignID, item with name 'personal-roboport-switch-disabled-vehicle-roboport' does not exist.

I doubt that is caused by boblibrary as it doesn't declare any items. Are you running any other mods?

Damn, your right, I had only Bob mods in there and when I removed boblibrary the error did not show up. It seems you need boblibrary and
bobvehicleequipment_0.14.0 (new mod) for the error to pop up. If you just have one of the them, the error does not show up.

Bobs vehicle equipment adds a new personal roboport for vehicles.

Right, I found out what the problem is here. Bob doesn't specify a "take_result" (which controls the inventory item created when you take the equipment out) so the game makes it the same as the equipment name. Because I have to clone existing roboports and change their properties in order for the mod to work, the disabled equipment also didn't have a "take_result" specified so the game was looking for an item with the name of the cloned roboport, which obviously doesn't exist. So now I make sure "take_result" is always present and set to the original equipment's name if not already specified.
This is now supported in 0.1.4.
Code: Select all
personal-roboport-switch 0.1.4
===============================================================================
FIXES
* Added support for mods which don't specify the "take_result" property on their equipment.

So just to clarify your bots only disable while your player character is standing inside the bounds of the target network. If you are standing even a tiny amount outside your roboports are active and they will perform task within the range of the other network if your areas overlap. There isn't really a way around this.

Ok, interesting. Is your mouse over any entity when pressing the button? If you have something selected with your mouse it tries to use that object as network wich only works with roboports and vehicles.

I'm also having issues. While within the area of a stationary roboport, I can press "O" and I will get a message saying that my PRs should de-activate but they still participate in both construction and deconstruction. I've tried toggling multiple times, and leaving and re-entering the range of the stationary roboport. Running 0.14.13

Same issue here. Is there a Github repository so we can help? Running 0.14.21.
