When you use bots extensively, things start getting a bit hairy: I have found that it gets hard to see buildings and other things when bots become to dense and you also end up accidentally mining a bot every now and then.
My suggestion is to allow us toggle the visibility (and selectability) of bots. They don't become completely invisible, but more like a ghost.
This is actually what another game, Creeper World 3, allows for:

Off:

Re: Bot visibility toggle
The toggle is a good idea, it might be on the side in a small bar, where buttons for this, alternative info and maybe other things might be.
The truth is, that most of the time I don't want to select or mine the bots, so having them unselectable would be useful, but sometimes, mainly in the beginning it might be useful.

Has this been forgotten?
Gets really frustrating having many bots on screen.

I know what you mean. For me this is a sign, that I need to rebuild something, because it is inefficient.Gets really frustrating having many bots on screen.
