There is a bug, that construction bots with a deconstruction task sometimes dont deliver the deonstructed objects to a storage chest, instead they are idle. It dont help if next to the Bot is a Storage and a robot port. They still fly to a robot port to recharge. But they are still idle after doing this. I have to deconstruct the Construction Bot end rebuild it to get it working again.

Hello, thank you for the report, but it would be great to have save of this situation.

How can i abort deconstruction orders?

try requesting the held items yourself.

maybe you are right, but its still a bug if the bots are idle instead of working

Yes, it is a bug, the robot was (by mistake) ordered to repair something while it still had cargo to return.
Than the engine sent him to repair/return cargo every thick, in the end it did nothing.

I fixed it, that it shouldn't happen anymore, existing robots will stay stuck, I hope it is not a big problem.
