personal construction robots lost or not working

[wheezil]

I've become rather used to my personal construction robots getting "lost" and running out of power. Until they return, I cannot do construction from my personal roboport. Eventually they come limping home, or I look around on radar and sweep them up.

However, now I have a game where they seem to have gone off to a permanent limbo. I've blanketed the map with radar and cannot find them. I've sat in one spot for 30 minutes waiting for them to come limping home, but they don't arrive. The land-based bots and roboports all work just fine. My power armor is has a personal roboport mk2, fusion, batteries, solar. It is topped up and nothing is wrong. My inventory showing 17 construction bots. How can I figure out what happened? Can I "reset" my personal roboport or abandon the lost bots so that new ones will function?

You could try to remove your armour for a bit, maybe it will do the same thing as removing the last roboport of a network and send them to the nearest roboport instead.

Usually you don't want to let them become "lost", when you are moving at high speed you can disable the personal roboport to ensure that they won't pickup a random job and such.

Right! The robots were not lost. There is an "enable personal roboport" button (ALT-R command), and I had turned it off.
