I notice that if you accidentally manually mine one of the bots from this mod, you get a vanilla bot instead of the modded bots. Can that be changed so you get the modded bots back? I live in fear of accidentally effectively deleting the best bots I own when I'm picking up things by hand.

Also every time you die, you respawn with a new set of modded starter armor and modded bots.

I used Chat GPT to solve the issue with mining bots.

Just swap this line

minable = { mining_time = 0.1, result = "construction-robot" }

with

custom_robot.minable = { mining_time = 0.1, result = "jareds-robots" }

Works like a charm.
