[2.0.42] Inefficient bot assignment when upgrading belts
Posted: Tue Mar 25, 2025 7:33 pm
What did you do?
1. I am upgrading many belts, as you do, with bots from my personal robo port (5 Level 1s) by using an upgrade planner from red to blue.
2. What happened?
Every time I upgrade more entities than I have available construction bots on my personal robot ports, fewer and fewer bots will be sent on trip 2, down to the end where a single bot is being sent to upgrade 4 or 5 things one at a time.
3. What did you expect to happen instead?
Contrast this with the same setup building a large grid of belts from scratch, with everything else being equal, it will send out 50, return 50, send out 50 again.
4. Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
Every time, but most noticeable with belts, as there are so, so many
Attached are two videos of it occurring and not occurring, and the save file!
