[0.12.10]Construction Bot increase in Personal Roboport

Post by waduk »

When construction bot working from personal roboport, the network sent an additional robot to "replace" bot.
So the number Robot in inventory is always increasing.

On vanilla, no mod.

That is strange, are you sure you didn't mine the new robots?

Previously construction bot can be sent to the trash slot. Now it's being ignore by the mod.

Edit :
Instead of being sent to trash, the game detected as new quest to refill construction bot when they were out working.
Dunno is this a new vanilla bug or a bug from AutoTrash 0.0.4.
This seems like a bug/issue with vanilla. I just added 50 construction bots to my vanilla requests and stood close to a roboport and send them to work. The logistics bots came to refill the ones that where out working. Trashing works fine for me. Put Autotrash into pause, fill your inventory with bots, unpause and watch your trash slots get filled :D
Basically it boils down to this: When requesting construction bots via character logistic slots and you send your personal robots out to work you get refilled by logistic bots, causing you to end up with #requested bots + #bots that went working
Inventory before
Sending them out
Inventory after

I understand, but it is minor issue I believe, I'm not even sure if it should be considered a bug.

Well you are requesting bots in your inventory. So when they fly out your inventory doesnt have them in it anymore... make sense that the network thinks you need those new 50 bots.
