Allow specific robot tasks

Post by darkshadow1809 »

For example

Logistic robots, only able to pickup from storage-inventory and from inventory-storage / only keep busy with passive-active provider chests etc.
rather than having a priority system where one logistic robot does it all.

Might make cool mods come out of that decision where specific robots can do specific tasks, construction & logistics or maybe combat robotics as well.

For construction robots you could make the same argument saying, some robots will only do ghost construction, others will only repair etc. This will enable for more dynamic game play as well as maybe cheaper robotics?

Sorry but that'st not going to happen. It's unnecessary complexity and overhead that the game would have to deal with.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
