This happens sometimes. I have no steps to reproduce yet.

1. Pave some space
2. "Draw" on top of that paving with another tile

Expected:

• Bots pick up old tiles

Actual:

• Sometimes, old tiles are dropped on the ground
• Also noticed similar behaviour with upgrading inserters, but haven't caught that on recording yet

Thanks for the report. This is working as intended. The robot brings X new tiles to build and as a result of building them it gets multiple old tile types back. It can only hold one type so the others get left on the ground and marked for deconstruction.

And what's about the inserters being dropped? IIRC, robots can only carry a single entity-like item per trip.
