What about just displacing the items using "droparound" similar to how chest-explosions work? That should be trivial to implement compared to multiple item types a robot might pick up when trying to revive a ghost. Or optionally, try to insert as many as can be inserted into what ever ghost was revived and then "droparound" the remaining items.kovarex wrote:Yes, I know about this, but as it was a minor corner case, I just didn't want to waste much time with that, so the items are just thrown away.
The construction robots might try to carry the items to the storage the same way as they carry away the contents of chests.
In that case, as you pointed out there might be problem with the inserters. Making the inserters to not put items in collision with ghosts-building might be good solution.
"Droparound" can pollute transport belts, in many cases it is better to lose the item.Rseding91 wrote:What about just displacing the items using "droparound" similar to how chest-explosions work?

Not really, an assembler is 3x3 which means it could replace 32 items(if my math is correct), which a single construction bot couldn't possibly carry.Turtle wrote:Wouldn't it make more sense for the item being placed to "switch" places with the item on the ground? Example: assembler is dropped and iron ore is picked up.
