Update pls

Hello, unfortunately I won't be updating this to 2.0, at least not in the foreseeable future

It's sad, because I fell in love with this mod :(
Judging by the error, there is some kind of problem with the collision

data-final-fixes.lua:5: attempt to call field 'get_first_unused_layer' (a nil value)

Please update this wonderful mod. I play with just 10 of these little fellows. Never had any real issues. They sometimes get stuck, but that is my fault and my responsibility.

The alternative flying ones are no where near as cute, and feel like cheating.

Okey I might try an attempt to fix it, who knows maybe its an easy fix :) But it will probably take a while

@oReazy just to temper your expectations, we are looking at a week or two at least. I am primarily focusing of taking care of my one-year-old :)

Hello @Tubbles @oReazy
I have just created a PR which makes the mod work in 2.0
From my (limited) testing it did not crash yet.

Feel free to use this or disregard it entirely.

I just love these bots and i wanted them so badly!

Cheers
(P.s. @Tubbles, congraz on the child and if you want me to improve the PR or have any tips feel free to give them to me)

The author of this mod, take note, your mod makes a great contribution to the community. It is clear that it is not yours, but a modified one. However, I'm playing factor without him. In any case, we are waiting for an update in this branch

It gives an error for some reason:(

Loading sound "Updated_Construction_Drones/data/units/construction_drone/construction_drone_1.ogg" failed with error: Path Updated_Construction_Drones/data/units/construction_drone/construction_drone_1.ogg does not match any enabled mod.

because the files mentioned are there in the repo and i can not recreate this issue

Yes, the bug has been fixed. Let's test it

tryed to place a bot down, crashed server. it no work still..

@AlexPotato2 I am sorry to hear that, do you think you could open a new discussion thread here on the mod portal and try to describe what happened? Also make sure to include a list of mods currently active, and what the error message says, and if possible a save file

is it normal behavior for the bots to ignore obstacles? (buildings, walls, etc...) I don't remember that, but if intended, I'm all for it.

I'm getting a similar error to everyone else. I'm not going to post it yet, because I don't want to flood the forum.

Thanks for all your hard work

@Zaanzabar Thank you for not flooding, I am working hard to go through the bug report one by one, but it takes some time since I am unfamiliar with Lua programming and the factorio API. But eventually we'll get there :) Any changes in behavior is not intended, I am simply trying to port the mod now to 2.0 and Space Age, so behavior changes can be seen as bugs right now
