Bot does not know how to build , Ore-Ganizer mining drills.
Bot does not build modded buildings as i can see.
Maybe we can make a compatibility.

Where do we teach him how to recognise and build modded buildings ?

The drone builds modded buildings no problem, I've got like 150 mods on my install, so I'm not sure what the issue is with those drills. Does it just ignore the blueprint ghosts or what? It's building other stuff in the same area, and (just in case) you have the drills in your inventory right?

Nevermind, I see the problem. The drone is only building some things--vanilla too. Very weird.

it is not building my modded buildings aswell...
it does not build modded buildings at all .. i dont know why..
yes i got buildings in my inventory.

sometimes it builds inserters, sometimes does not want to.

One question:

What line must i modify to move that icon from there somewere else; for instance in the 1st slot or near the inventory equipment grid.

That icon cannot be moved. It's an inventory slot just like the rest, but specifically dedicated to carrying the drone's construction bots. Without that slot, it can't build anything, and there's no way to move an inventory slot to somewhere else. I mean I guess it could be in the first slot instead but then you'd have one empty slot sitting by itself down there which I think would look even weirder.

As for the not building bug, I'm working on it, but this is a weird one, I'm not sure what's causing it. If you notice more things that don't build, let me know, I might spot a pattern. And be specific please--which inserter is it not building, for example? Or is it only certain circumstances?

Actually I think I got it. Go ahead and update again and let me know if it's fixed. Buildings with any quality currently cannot be built, but everything else ought to work now. Got it, quality items work too now in version 36.

Maoman, i want to enlarge the drone inventory to 50, i do not mind if the 1st slot is taken and i only got 49 slots :D
or better yet the bots to be in the last slot :D

works now it builds my buildings and everything. the smoke is still as before way off :D

I'm sorry but this is not going to work how you want it to. You cannot use the companion as a portable chest. It automatically dumps its inventory into yours whenever it is not working. It may store things temporarily, but as soon as it "notices" the stuff in its inventory, it will push it back into yours.

The drone's own inventory is solely for the materials it needs to carry for construction jobs. Changing this function would break fundamental parts of the mod and would require a major rewrite.

drone increase inventory when it gets quality, i just made a new post; a legendary companion has 52 slots of inventory (51) because 1 is already taken.

Here

Copied from your other thread:
As the title say, i have 2 drones and i have builded a 3rd one uncommon quality, because i did not know i can hold only 2 drones i placed it down and the drone vanished in inventory leaving this message but it has Normal quality, i then tested again and same thing.

the 2 drones that i have can have any quality but the 3rd one if i place it down at any quality higher than normal it will revert to normal in inventory.

where is the other post with legendary quality ?

The Legendary Quality Companion Drone has 52 slots but slot 21 is taken by the construction bots.
Bigger inventory is good for drone because it can dismantle whole blueprints and not get stuck because inventory is full.

Hey Maoman,

I just downloaded the mod as i am tired of the early progression being so slow

so my problem - the drone won´t build anything, even though i have all items in my inventory
for example
i printed down my steam power blueprint and it wont build the engines, nor the boilers not even the electric poles...

Please help

so my problem - the drone won´t build anything, even though i have all items in my inventory

I've just released an update that should have fixed this--it wasn't constructing while the personal roboport was disabled, which obviously it can't be enabled at the start of the game.
It appears this bug is still lurking around somehow. I'll see what I can do.

Maoman would it be possible to switch the construction bots to be in slot 1 ? so that if i upgrade the drone they occupy the 1st slot of the inventory ...no matter how big the inventory is, now i am struggling to find a way to code the drone to have desired inventory based on quality levels, but i am not so good in coding and i gaved up... you on the other hand can do this :D

our companion drone when legendary quality has 15x7 equipment inventory grid

I haven't really messed with quality and the companion much yet, but it's on the todo list. I have a busy week ahead of me though so I don't know when I'll be able to get to it.

As for moving the construction bots, that's more complicated than it seems on the surface, because of the way they auto-refresh and refuse to let you grab them--it does some fancy stuff to accomplish that which isn't easily transferred to a different slot for some reason.

Begleitdrohne baut nichts, wenn ich Roboports mit Baurobotern im Baugebiet habe - und soweit ich abschätzen kann, bauen dann die Bauroboter des Spiels auch nichts mehr... verzwickt

Ich verwende Google Übersetzer ... Sind Sie sicher, dass Sie vollständig aktualisiert sind? Das sollte im letzten Update 3.1.1 behoben worden sein.
Egal, ich sehe, dass es mir auch passiert ist. Verdammt, ich dachte, ich hätte diesen Fehler behoben.

He's having the "drone won't construct" bug again. It happened to me as well, despite I thought I squashed that bug. So I'll take another stab at it.

I'm having trouble reproducing this bug consistently so if anybody notices it happening and can provide more info it may be very helpful.

my drone constructs all , maybe some kind of mod that he has and it does not have compatibility.
and above all i do not understand german.

lol I don't either I was using google translate.

how can we upgrade the base drone to legendary because upcrafting is impossible..
Legendary drone we can have only a new one. wich does not have speed 10 like the base one...
well i could create a recipe for it to upgrade it but it will become a new constructed drone it will not be the same ?
wich line has the recipe of the base drone the one we got for free at the start of the game ?
