Yo.
So I was thinking you might want to consider adding a builder-machine - whatever is slotted into it it builds in front of it. Or maybe this could be an advanced robot, into which you could even load blueprints (one of the stretch-goals) and materials and it would go around building what has been set into it.

See, my goal is to make some Von Neumann goodness Not that I could myself, but someone surely would do it! Self-reproducing machines, isn't that a challenge? Think of what could be done with that + some basic logic operators...a bit like some of the incredible redstone machinery in minecraft, but better, because with the replication building part!

The possibility to make self replicating machines is something I wish as well, and sooner or later, it will be possible

Implemented in 0.9.0

Sir, yes sir !
Topic moved to implemented suggestions

Really? There's not much Von Neumann over the alpha 11 content...

I assumed Construction robots were the answer to that suggestion. If it's not the case, , devs an/or OP can tell me, and I'll put the topic back where it was.

I would let it here, cause the target is outdated/has changed a lot and there are several other suggestions, which are about self-replicating build.
