  • Changed personal roboports so they won't send construction robots if you're driving in a vehicle that they can't keep up with or if in a train in automatic mode.

So that you don't come to a stop, have the bots fly off, and then depart, leaving the bots behind.

This is very disappointing! This was a critical part of our wall repair strategy. Please, devs, consider reintroducing this *feature*, and if it's a concern that bots are flying off for some people (bad planning?) then perhaps there could be a check box or something, like the "no logistics while moving" checkbox.

Isn't there a wait condition for idle robots; I thought it was for this very use case.

Perhaps we need 'construction robots idle'?
