[Request] Smarter construction bots when in a vehicle

Post by MiniHerc »

Would this be possible:
When the player is in a vehicle and has 1+ personal roboports with construction bots in inventory: If vehicle health < 90% AND vehicle speed < 50% of max bot speed, OR vehicle speed = 0, THEN attempt repair, ELSE do nothing?

I've never done factorio modding before, but I'm interested in a mod like this and would be willing to figure it out myself but I don't know how to begin or if it's possible. It seems fairly simple, but ...

Something like this would be very useful. I always have to remind myself to take my robots and put them in the car before driving otherwise I have to stop and wait for a robot after every second tree trunk colission. This gets frustrating after a while.

I vote for a simple on/off botton for roboports next power armour icon in the bottom right of the screen. This will also fix the problem with personal robots annoyingly starting to construct things when inside a logistics network/area with blueprint.
