Bake construction bots into personal roboport's recipe

Post by Avezo »

Having to keep construction bots in your inventory while using them for personal roboport is annoying. You sometimes lose them, sometimes forget, sometimes you end up picking up straight bots from network etc.

Since single roboport can support max 10 bots anyway, why not just add them to personal's roboport recipe and pretend thre are always 10 inside of it without cluttering inventory?

How should destroyed bots been restocked?
Perhaps bots could become like ammo for personal roboports. They could be stored internally and restocked from inventory as required. (see personal gun turrets from Advanced_Personal_Defense mod)

We would pretend they weren't destroyed, just have some cooldown before they are usable again. How often personal bots get destroyed anyway? Other than turret creep, but devs don't like it anyway.

Equipment grid items having their own inventories would be awesome.

Having a dedicated roboport slots for personal robots in player inventory would be really nice. This may be through assigning slots to equipment grid or be just new slot types in inventory (like logistic slots) but I would appreciate it.

I agree. It would also make it easier to make burner generators, and ammo for turrets.
