[0.14.14]Personal roboport robots abandoning job after load

[xinpig]

Not a whole lot of info I can provide, other than I had robots placing items down in my personal roboport area (was not inside my main base's logistics network). Decided to save/reload, and my 60 personal robots flew off back to the rest of my base and never came back. It did happen while loading my save into multiplayer.

Checked, happens during single player as well.

When disconnecting in multiplayer that's expected. the game disconnects your player first then saves and unloads the game resulting in the robots loosing the connection to your player.

If you load the game in multiplayer and save it, that save is forever going to be marked as multiplayer and so you get the same behavior in single player.

if you never load a save in multiplayer that disconnect sequence doesn't happen and the robots stay linked with your player.

How is that not a bug?

Is there any way to get a map back to being single player so that it stops happening?

Why not move this to "won't fix" instead of "not a bug"? Or are you saying that it's the intended behaviour of the game to make playing with friends a serious decision that must not be taken lightly?

You are exaggerating, it is not a bug because the robots were never designed to keep their jobs in this way, therefore there is nothing going wrong.

If you want to suggest new functionality, there is the ideas and suggestions forum

I actually (while working on an unrelated feature) "fixed" this for 0.15.
