Issues and Solutions
This page is for issues I've confirmed and their potential solutions.
Issue 1:
Issue: My bots aren't doing a particular work type.

Causes:
-You've added or removed a mod that adds worktypes or splits worktypes that may or may not be compatible.
-Your mod load order has changed since the last time you opened your save.
-The bots job isn't in its allowed area.
-This mod updated.

Solutions:
-Existing bots in a save can lose their worktypes for a variety of reasons. If your bots definitely should have them, this can usually be solved by replacing them. Do so by deactivating your bots and using the developer menu to destroy and replace them. This can be done so by using the destroy or damage options, then "Spawn thing -> search bot -> click AiRobot_RechargeStation_*botname*Bot (minified) -> click on map to spawn thing."
-If the a mod changes worktypes, doesn't have a patch to support it, and doesn't have a compatibility sub mod, consider removing the mod.
-If the job location isn't within its allowed area, consider extending that areas range or changing the bots allowed area.
Issue 2:
Issue: My mod settings aren't changing bot or bot station stats but they should be.

Causes:
-You have the Rocketman mod.
-You have another performance enhancement mod with caching.

Solutions:
-Rocketman caching can cause settings changes to not apply. Simply changing your mod load order usually resets the cache. Allowing you to change your bot settings.
Issue 3:
Issue: My Construction bot isn't building roofs

Causes:
-Unknown, but confirmed to apply to 1.3 and up. Sometimes this just sporadically happens.

Solutions:
-None known at this time.
Issue 4:
Issue: Products my Crafting Bots are producing are finishing but disappearing.

Causes:
-You are in version B18/0.18 and your Crafting bot is making something that produces art. Such as guns, furniture, and sculptures.

Solutions:
-For the B18 version, robots do not have a name. Therefore they destroy any items they craft that generate art on them. To prevent crafting bots from destroying items that generate art, subscribe to Artful Robots.
Issue 5:
Issue: Some or all of my bots and stations are abnormally large or small.

Causes:
-Having a retexture sub mod that isn't updated.
-XML Extensions settings may be different from default values.
-Having an expansion sub mod with unexpected draw sizes.

Solutions:
-If it's a retexture sub mod issue and you have XML Extensions for additional mod settings, you can adjust the size of the bots and their stations to the correct size. This likely won't work with bots not supported by the mod.
-Try resetting the Bot Graphic section in XML Extensions to default values.
-Contacting the sub mod expansion author to resolve the sizing issue.
