Sometimes, when I'm building with construction robots, I'll want to just grab a stack or so from my main base to take to an outpost or something. But the problem is, the robots spread out a lot, and if you have a lot of Roboports, finding enough can be a pain.
I usually don't want to just build another stack, since I usually have enough already.
Is there a way to call the robots in a network to one place?
Is this planned?

Deconstruct a full chest. If you time it right, you can cancel deconstruction before they take anything.HPWebcamAble wrote:Is there a way to call the robots in a network to one place?

I've never tried this but I assume that it will call enough robots to empty the chest.DaveMcW wrote: Deconstruct a full chest. If you time it right, you can cancel deconstruction before they take anything.
Good idea
But in the future, perhaps a button should be added in the Roboport to call a number of robots to that Roboport

Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.
