Hello,
Is there a particular order that robots execute for blueprints? Is it from a specific cardinal? (north to south for example?) or blueprint order? (Top to bottom of the blueprint itself, regardless of orientation? I did try a few tests, but I can't quite figure that out..

thanks!

Edit: The above question is with assuming that there is plenty of construction robots, and plenty of material to complete the blueprint.

From what I understand they do it in some specific order BUT they may skip some if there's not enough robots. So you need as many construction robots as items being placed to see the actual order.

The game should iterate over and over the ghosts again in order they were placed. But the moment a new robot becomes available is random, so it gets the build the next ghost the game checks, which could be anywhere.

Thanks! I've edited the original post for clarification. So the question is the same, with the assumption that there is plenty of robots and plenty of material to complete the blueprint. Looking at the video you posted (thanks!!) it appears to be either north to south, or from the closest ghost to the farthest?
