Playing angel+bob mods and at the crawler bot stage. I find that I spend a lot of time waiting for construction bots to charge at a few roboboxes or charging points. They seem to gang up on a select few and there will be many dozens waiting to charge. How best to avoid this? Will simply placing more charging pads around help, or will they still try to mob charge?

I have found that putting three charging pads in a cluster doesn't help, the bots always pick the same one.
This discussion viewtopic.php?f=6&t=92409&hilit=chargin ... r&start=20 suggests that bots *should* disperse amongst the available charge pads but I don't observe that to be true. Perhaps charge pads do not get the same treatment as roboports?
