Bots Bots Bots! FORKED - Factorio Mods

Bots Bots Bots! FORKED deprecated

by Upsidedowneye

Forked to rebalance the mod as a whole for space age, higher tier bots are now required on higher tier planets (also this removes vanilla bots so this is technically an overhaul now). Logistic robots are available from the start (without requester chests). Adds a new tier of steam-powered robots for the early game, and several new tiers for later.

Whats the best way to recall all the old bots for upgrading? I have quite a few, tried making a chest full of goodies for deconstruct but the bots have a habbit of not going to the nearest port and instead heading off across my base to go whereever they want.
I think that's whats happening, entirely plausable I just have a bad setup.

I set the number of the old bots I want at a specific roboport, then a filter inserter to pull out only the old bots. Eventually they all get pulled and upgraded.

this is the intended solution, alternatively you can pick up every single roboport 1 by 1 and get every robot out of the network that way which is what you had to do in 1.1

one good way that I noticed they added is you can request bots internally in a roboport now so you can request a bunch, theyll fly there then you can grab them out, as you grab em more will come
