I am having problems with my robots. They are very bad and refuse to do any work.

I have marked an area to remove trees and rocks and no robot leaves me to go and do the work. A few seconds earlier I tried to use them to place a power pole and they refused.

I have 2 robot ports in my armor (only mk1 due to current science)
I have 40 construction and 25 logistic bots in my inventory.
My armor is fully powered and so are the roboports inside.
I am outside the zone/range of any base roboport so it can't be waiting for a bot from the base to do the request.
I tried removing the roboports inside the armor and replacing them in an attempt to reset everything and it did not have any effect.
Oddly, I tried to remove my armor but it told me that I did not have enough inventory to hold everything. I tried this to see if t would reset everything. (Initially I thought it meant that I did not have enough space to remove everything inside the armor... but them realized it meant that I did not have enough inventory space if I lost the bonus slots from the armor.)

I would be happy to provide a save file from the current time if you tell me the save location (linux/steam install)
I am not using any mods other than base mods provided with space age.
I do not know if it matters but I have been to and returned from Vulcanus. (I had removed my armor/bots before leaving and again before returning from that planet.)

If anyone has an idea,I would appreciate it.

Thank You

Edit: Interestingly, I had a tank nearby with a roboport. I got into the tank and its roboport did work.
I left the tank while its robots continued to remove trees and my robot/roboport continued to do nothing.

Is this shortcut button pressed to enable your personal roboport?

Thank you,

That button was it. I did not remember it was there and of course didn't realize it was off until you mentioned it.

Thank you, It looks the error was PBTKAC (person between the Keyboard and chair)
