Delete Items from game

Post by Malryn »

I made a mistake and have around 20k Logistrics robots and 15k construction robots in 1 network and I wanted to lower their numbers due to game performance. Is there a way in command line to delete items from the game?

I am not sure if there is a console command to do that but a quick and efficient way to do it would be to fill some crates with them then get your shotgun out and use C to destroy it.(also how i get rid of piles of wood)

You can get rid of a couple thousand per crate.

Hope that helps.

you can extract out robots from roboports using inserters when the output chest fills shoot it and place a new one until the robo count is acceptable.

In future games maybe try this trashcan mod, I started using it in the latest game I started:

Nice. I did something where smart inserters will put my bots in passive storage chests that are then moved to a incinerator and/or a upgrade robot mod so my robots are super fast. Hopefully that will reduce the need for more bots moving about.
