Drones and deconstruction.

[DrOnline]

I'm awful at this game, and there's so much I don't understand. For now, I need help understanding basic drones.

I've got a portable nuclear power plant and a personal drone port. I have 200 construction robots in my inventory. Mostly, when I use the red deconstruct drag marker tool, drones fly out, deconstruct everything, and fly back to me with the items. But sometimes, drones deconstruct the item, carry it on them, but then just hover there forever. So I realize I can open my inventory, and select the item they are carrying in my personal logistics as a requested item, and they will bring it to me.

But this requires me to constantly add items to that list. And I have to keep increasing the stack request too. How would you go about fixing this the best way? Btw I am at "spaghetti level" skill, not some kind of automation expert :D

Oh, and bonus question: I think there is an item recycler building in the game now, with space age - when do I get it? I've got so much juicy stuff I want to recycle :D I used to download a mod to do this.

Those bots that just hovers with items, are most likely from your bot network and not your personal bots. Them hovering means there are no room to dump those items. If you build a yellow box somewhere in your logistic area, they should start working again.

As for the recycler, you get it from fulgora

Thanks, buddy! Hey - so I build a "storage chest". It should start receiving items without any further actions? I have a ton of these robo ports within range of eachother, and that chest.

yes as long as they are withing the bots logistic area (the orange area).
