Construction robots deconstructing trees

Post by Sir Nick »

Been deconstructing some stuff lately with a red blueprint and suddenly saw a deconstruction marker on a tree. Waited to see what would happen and saw a bot come and destroy the tree, taking wood to storage. Don't know if it is intended behaviour or bug, but if the latter, PLEASE let it be, it is so annoying to clear large patches of forest, even eith a combat shotgun. Plus, the wood doesn't get lost.

haha yeah forests no longer suck so hard with construction bots. Not only do they clear forests super fast, but you even get to use the harvested wood, unlike other methods where the trees are simply destroyed at the cost of valuable ammo.

Not only that, it had to be programmed to work in this case, as trees have no owner.

Another good use of the red (blue)print is reclining walls after attacking a nest.

I also done it where I added repair packs before taking on a nest, sadly, the bots do get hit... Why can they not just fly higher in the air :P

Walls?? no way, just go in with a few hundred turrets and wipe em out before they get close :D
