Automated blueprint laying for auto base expansion

Post by McC1oud »

I'm sure this question has been asked many times before but I wasn't exactly sure how to word it. Been searching for a bit but can't find a straight answer.

I've gotten most of the games subsystems under my belt and am beginning to sort out the circuit network. I want to create a small design which has bots lay a blueprint and build it automatically.

Can I automate the blueprint placing progress(In the vanilla game)?

Bot places blue print > Bot completes blue print which contains a roboport > repeat

In vanilla, no. Blueprints can only be designated by the player, and bots will only place entities where players have indicated for them to be built.

The lack of this functionality in vanilla is what inspired the Recursive Blueprints mod, however.
