[0.17.14] bots endlessly circling between roboport and empty space

[meganothing]

Here is an example of bots trying to cross some space without roboport, then shortly before they have no energy, turn around and go back to the roboport. They reload their batteries, then try to do the same route again and turn around again. Ad infinitum.

Surprisingly I could not find a bug report about this. Maybe already known or declared as feature?

To see it yourself: Go to roboport "Ali Sajid Imami" (located between train stations Ratzfaz and DasSaffe in the east of the map directly before the wall with turrets), looking on the map is enough. Watch as a group of 5 or 6 bots fly on a north-east route from that roboport up and back again.

Maybe. I did test my save game with 0.17.16 where the bug allegedly was fixed and they still do the loop.

I assume the bug fix only prevents new bots from going into this loop and doesn't stop already looping bots from looping? Because if not, then at least this bug here isn't fixed yet
