Out of range personal construction bots are still assigned jobs

[hecktarzuli]

I had an issue yesterday where I was running around in my car, bumping into things etc.. and one of my personal construction bots got out and fixed it, but I drove away too soon before it could dock.

Then, much further away as I was trying to create a bunch of train tracks, 1 track tile would magically be skipped each time I pasted my track copy. Turns out, the lil' robot 10 miles away was still getting assigned construction jobs!

1) good - don't assign construction jobs to personal bots that are in low power mode
2) best - don't assign construction jobs to personal bots that are > X tiles away from you

Yeah I certainly wouldn't want it to attempt to calculate the time a robot to has to come back.. I think both of my ideas are much better IMHO.

I think I'll move this to Ideas & Suggestions, viewtopic.php?f=6&t=114025
