What I also noticed is that the game crashes when you remove a lot of things that have long underground belts or items in the loader, then they are not removed and the drones stand around.
I found out it's that mod. Walls Block Spitters. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/walls-block-spitters
When I turn it off the drones run normally I turn it on I have to get inside the object to build them.
I hope there's something you can do.
