Hello,

I keep running into the annoyance of accidentally picking up logistics robots when I don't mean to while making adjustments to my factory. This happens quite a lot in more cluttered parts and it would be nice to have a simple toggle on/off in one of my menus so that while right clicking to pick up machines, I don't accidentally grab a few logistics bots.

Farther more, in cluttered places it becomes a little difficult to see past the swarm. So, maybe some sort of transparency slider to bring down the bots opacity? Obviously making them invisible would become confusing, but down to ~20 or 30% opacity would make building in high traffic areas a breeze!

Anyone else ever felt like this would help? I'd like to hear from other's about this. Couldn't find any other similar topics, but I can't say I know how to navigate the forum very well, first time poster.

Thanks.

+1 it is rather annoying picking up bots while mining other items.

Me too. This would be my biggest annoyance right now. I would love to fix this without modding.

+1 Dangit, yes.


No matter what I do... and how often I clean out my inventory... the next time I open it up I again have some logistic/construction bots inside.

Not a fix but may help with the annoyance of seeing Logistic Bots in your inventory at least until there is a fix - when able: add Logistic Bot to your Trash and set to 0. They should be taken away if any appear in your inventory.
