I attempted to update the info.json to work with 2.0, it gives errors about the quality system conflicting. Would love to have this mod back as it makes the early game way more fun.

Yes, I already upgraded one of my other mods, but this one got broken quite severely. I ran out of spare time to update it today, but I'll try to get it updated tomorrow :).

How did you solve the quality problem?

Just tested it out. Works great. Huge thank you!

Yes, your mod is working. There's just a passerby that we can't get started in any way. "Updated Construction Drones"

How did you solve the quality problem?

Factorio used to have shorthand for referencing an item and quantity, instead of doing "iron-plate", or { "iron-plate", 1 }, you must now do
{ type = "item", name = "iron-plate", amount = 1 }. The quality issue comes from the quality mod running before the engine verifies your prototype, and it just had some internal crash, because it assumed that you'd have the full syntax.

I have 30 bots in my equipment and I'm wearing the Early construction light armor. I stand close to blue ghost buildings but nothing happens. I built a new ghost after adding the mod and after equipping everything but still no luck. Am I missing something?

Ok, I was missing the "early construction equipment" in my backpack. Great mod!
