No matter what random seed or map seed I try I can only get the robots' speeds to be 0 or 216. Mostly 0. Only other mods are space age, quality, and elevated rails. I'm checking the robot speed with the Factoriopedia. Also tried with a simple fast start mod and when 0 the bot comes out and just sits there without moving.

Robot speed should be fixerd in the next update.
Thanks you for reporting

It looks like development on this was never completed? Sad :(

I tried for a while trying different random seeds just trying to get one with both bot types to be 216, since at least then they would be usable. Couldn't find one.

I "fixed" this by installing an additional mod pack:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/lokisbotsfork
This doesn't truly fix anything, but what it does do is uses 6 tiers of each bot instead of just 1. 3 of the tiers come at the same time or earlier as the standard bots. This gives 6 random rolls instead, and so I was able to find random seeds that would have workable bots at enough tiers to be usable even though ~2/3rds would be rolled as 0 kph speed.

I'm currently play testing an update. I think an update may come in 2-3 weeks
