Better Robot A.I.

Post by MysticalBacon »

Hello there,

I don't really like how Construction Robots work.
They take one item out of your inventory or a chest and place it where it needs to be.
This may not seem like a problem, but when you want to build many entities at once (im looking at you floor tiles) this can take awhile.
They should utilize the Robot stack bonus and take as many entites as they are allowed to and place them accordingly.

What do you think of that?

I hope you aren't trying to build something big with only a single construction robot. :-)

Does the logistic bonus even apply to construction robots?

I've found my construction items go much faster with at least 1,000 construction robots. Even then, I often have to babysit them to insure they don't get confused and leave something out.

Nope, thats why I am suggesting exactly that :D

Sure, you can craft more and more construction robots, but you will often have a problem when they all want to charge at the same time.
With my suggestion this problem may still occur, but not on such a big scale.

I made a new thread in Frequently Suggested: viewtopic.php?f=80&t=26422 Construction bots use the Stack Size Bonus
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

It does if they are deconstructing a chest.
