Robot Replacer

by Peppe

Utility mod to help replace/upgrade bots within a network. Bots in the replacer provider chest are released to the network when a bot of the same type, but different name is found in a roboport. The bots that do not match the provider are removed from the roboport and placed in the logistics storage network. Should work with all modded bots and roboports. *** Megabase warning: Chest is Calculation heavy when any items are in it. Only put bots in it and keep empty to idle efficiently. ***

i It would be nice if it wasn't a passive provider of the robots in the chest

I was trying to make an automated upgrader for my outposts by feeding your robot replacer chest from a pair of requester chests, but the logitistic bots keep moving the robots out of your chest and back into the requester chests that are feeding it :( I tried placing it on the boundary of the logistic zone but the chest doesn't appear to work when outside the logistic range (but in the construction range).

Otherwise its a really neat mod and it made upgrading the bots in my main base really easy, thanks :)
