[2.0.49 Mods] Robots with surface conditions ignore those conditions when placed into roboports

Post by Samario »

e.g. the Bots Bots Bots (and its many forks)' bots have lower-tier robots with surface conditions that forbid them from working on other planets, on paper

In practice, however, if you place those robots into a roboport, they can still leave the roboport and perform their usual tasks, even though by the surface conditions they shouldn't be able to do that
I'd expect them to just stay stuck in the roboport

Hmm, there’s a performance concern with checking this condition every time a robot is sent from a roboport. If we do make this work, it might just be preventing the robots from being put in the roboport to begin with.

Looking into this more: it would be simple to disable putting such robots into roboports but it quickly fails when it comes to mobile roboports. The character, cars/tanks/spider vehicles and so on would still have to do the surface checks *every* time a robot was sent out.

So, with that in mind - I'm going to put this into won't-fix.
