[0.16.51] Mining construction robots resets their power

Post by BigTrains »

Not sure if this a bug, a cheat, or correct operation...

When building with a personal roboport whose batteries are out, the robots wait around the player until there's enough electricity to charge.

A cheat/bug to skip this delay is to simply mine the robot (right click with the mouse). This brings the robot back into inventory with a full battery, and it immediately gets back to work.

"Working as designed".
Has been there for ages. Use the search function. It's the only way to use roboports before portable fusion ;).
