Sometimes, when I'm building with construction robots, I'll want to just grab a stack or so from my main base to take to an outpost or something. But the problem is, the robots spread out a lot, and if you have a lot of Roboports, finding enough can be a pain.

I usually don't want to just build another stack, since I usually have enough already.

Is there a way to call the robots in a network to one place?
Is this planned?

Deconstruct a full chest. If you time it right, you can cancel deconstruction before they take anything.

Clever solution
Never think of it like that. Thank you.

I've never tried this but I assume that it will call enough robots to empty the chest.

Good idea

But in the future, perhaps a button should be added in the Roboport to call a number of robots to that Roboport
