Keep bots from taking shortest route

[el veejay]

Is there a way - be it config or mod - to keep bots from flying the shortest route between destinations, but rather follow the connection between roboports? If, for instance, you have a U-shaped base, and you have enemies inside the U, you'll keep losing bots as they fly over enemy camps.

Also, it would be nice if the "objects are being damanged/destroyed" alert could be configured to exclude bots, as they generate a lot of "false positives" so to speak.

Short anwer: No. And it will not come. The reasons are discussed in the latest threads linked from here:
viewtopic.php?f=80&t=18093 Roboport/Logistic Network/Robot enhancements
-> See below the big pics.

And again: This is not Q&A, it's suggestions.

That is also not likely to come, cause other players think this is an very important feature.
