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:

On:



Off:

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.

+1 for good idea, +5 for reference to another awesome game

Has this been forgotten?

Gets really frustrating having many bots on screen.

No, of course not.

I know what you mean. For me this is a sign, that I need to rebuild something, because it is inefficient.
