[0.16.36] Bots don't auto-trash items if inventory full

Post by KScorp »

Reproduction steps:

1. Have a full inventory with no wood in it.
2. Have free trash slots.
3. Set auto-trash to trash all wood.
4. Deconstruct tree with personal robot.

Observed Result:
Robot returns with wood, "Inventory full" message pops up and bot begins following you around with the wood, unable to put it into a trash slot.

Expected Result:
Robot places wood into trash slot.

Why I think it's a bug:
If the player manually cuts down a tree in this situation, the wood will be placed into trash slots.

Oops... I think I tested chopping the tree down soon after the robot failed to deliver items, and I didn't see the wood on the ground. The lack of the "inventory full" message tricked me.

My mistake. Thanks for double checking.

[1.1.80] Auto-trash don't trash items if inventory full

Post by Brambor »

Version 1.1.80

I have a similar issue:

1. Have a full inventory with one stack of miners (50).
2. Have free trash slots.
3. Set auto-trash to trash more than 50 miners (and request 0).
4. Deconstruct a miner with a hand.
5. Observe: "No space in the inventory" msg and the miner item is dropped on the ground.

Expect on 5: Miner goes to thrash slot.

It is a nice QoL

Workaround: set trash to 49 instead of 50 - it's weird though.

That's all working correctly. Auto-trash only moves from the inventory to trash slots. It does not impact how items are able to fit into the inventory or where items go when trying to transfer into the inventory.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
