Why can't bots plant trees?

[NineNine]

I'm playing Space Exploration + K2 right now, so I have greenhouses than can make wood and trees. The greenhouses can make 87 different types of trees, but unfortunately, bots cannot place them. Why not? I would absolutely love to design a factory with all sorts of different trees both for awesome looking designs, and to help eat pollution. As far as I know, it's the only thing that bots can't do.

I've used the Agricultural Roboport mod to handle vegetation planting duties.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not playing Space Age. I'm playing Space Exploration/K2, so this mod wouldn't work for me.

Why? SA and quality are marked not as required but as optional dependencies

From a technical point: because trees are force-less entities not owned by anyone or anything and the robot/ghost system only works with force-based entities (things owned by 1 and only 1 'team' in the game).

Oh, interesting. I figured there must have been a good reason for it, and that one makes sense (sort of). Thanks for the explanation!
