Active indication of personal roboport use

Post by herkalurk »

I always seem to loose track of my personal construction bots when I"m going from site to site in my train. I'd like some sort of indicator when a construction bot from the personal roboports are out of your inventory and doing something. Similar to the indicator of how many combat bots are currently active. If I knew that a construction bot had left to repair something I could stop my train and wait for them to come back. Instead they ususally end up being destroyed as they fly over some biters on the way back to me.

Indicator when logistics bots are flying to a player would also be helpful. I always have problem to determine if I can already leave my base, after I ordered some items.
I am a translator. And what did you do for Factorio?
Check out my mod "Realistic Ores" and my other mods!

At least with that they will realize you're out of range and store the items while returning to normal duty. If a construction bot from your armor is stranded it flies on emergency power for minutes trying to get back to you. I've probably lost a few hundred because I didn't know they had left and they hit biters on the way back.
