Robot Recall Signals

It'd be nice if it were possible to set certain roboports to request some robots to come back to them if they're not busy

Having all your building robots defaulting to docking where they finished working rather than where they're most likely to be needed next would be nice
Having logistic robots distribute themselves among all their needed locations would be nice
But the big thing is with the new quality update, being able to recall lower quality robots and have them autoreplaced with higher quality robots would be amazing, with Bob's mods and others that add levels of robots this has been a problem too tracking down ever mk1 to upgrade them to mk2 and then again with mk3 and mk4 it'd be great to be able to automate this

Patch 2.0 will have something that does most of this. Roboports will be able to request robots. See the section "Roboport robot requests":
