[0.16.51] Bots take ammo out of weapon inventory

Post by titan34 »

What did you do?

I placed a blueprint with some turrets in it.

What happened?

Since I didn't have any ammunition in my main inventory, my construction bots took the ammunition from my personal weapons to fill the placed turrets, leaving my personal weapons empty.

What did you expect to happen instead?

I expected it to only fill the turrets with ammo from my main inventory, and leave the turrets empty if no ammo was found in the main inventory. I would actually be fine with the old behavior of not filling turrets at all, since I'm usually building the ammo delivery infrastructure next.

IIRC some mods to that and vanilla does not have such feature.

Steps to reproduce in vanilla:

1. Put firearm magazines in weapon inventory.
2. Place this blueprint:
3. Equip personal roboport and add construction robots and gun turrets to your inventory.

Result: Construction robots remove firearm magazines from your weapon inventory.

But am I right that you are not beable to produce this BP in vanilla without any tools or mods?

Thanks for the report however this is working as intended. Personal robots have access to the entirety of your inventory (minus the trash slots) for the purposes of building/delivering items.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
