Have they indicated what the robots are going to be used for?
what the end game is?

You have to manufacture and sell the robots.
There is no end to this game....The game is endless and you can build....Build cities

I'm up to my eyeballs in robots, thanks.

I listened to two developers on a video about mining and when the topic of future plans came up they were very evasive.
I was wondering if anyone had heard anything about future plans.

I expect a DLC to be offed at a price that will take the game in a new direction:
Maybe...
1. use the robots to populate another planet
2. use the robots as an army to fight
3. robots build a new city

What ever they decide it will probably cost more money.

I do not believe they even know what is going to be added. They seem to be winging it , I mean I am pretty sure I read a dev state , "They like the idea of selling robots"......what are we 12? I am sorry , but that is not a good concept , its lazy and boring. I think that is one of the weakest points of this game , besides the copy/pasted features from Factorio.

They just need to push the modular building concept some more , even go back and redo some of the gameplay. I would love to see all the buildings you build/use be modular. Modular Smelters , Modular Assemblers , Modular Power and more importantly a Modular Research Building. Each getting upgrades as you research....that way they can move away from Factorio and its science pack approach to research and have their own cool identity.

But If I am being honest , I think they are just after trickle down sales from the more popular and well designed Factory games that exist already and hoping to entice people with familiarity then actual fresh new game play.

it's a little like everyone is selling a new Tesla.
To be clear i like the game.
I just hope they expand it beyond selling new and use cars

Well, I don't think this game will be a fighting game...that doesn't make any sense.

Do you want to know what the plans are? - It's best to ask the developers.

Everything else is and remains speculation.

As long as the whole thing doesn't end like "Techtonica" I don't really care...I haven't even finished the game...and that will take a while...because I'm still building...city by city. In "Techtonica" the players were completely ripped off with version 1.0 - I just hope that something like that doesn't happen here too.

I did a single play thru with Techtonica some time ago.
I have been waiting for 1.0
I may go back a see what they remains.
