[2.0.13] Bots won't place Quality Concrete

[docacola]

Admittedly it's a silly use case, but I had a bunch of Rare and Epic Concrete from Fulgora, so I decided to send it to Aquilo, however my robots won't place it on the ground, even if I change the quality on the dropdown in the inventory screen. I know defaulting the robots to use rare materials just to place on the ground is not ideal, but is there any way to make them actually place it if the quality is selected? Makes expanding Aquilo via the map view almost impossible.

Thanks for the report. Concrete does not have quality so quality concrete/stone bricks and so on are not usable. They exist only for use as ingredients in other recipes.

If that's the case, why can the engineer place quality stone bricks? I placed some Uncommon stone bricks, then when I picked them up, they were Normal stone bricks. This treatment seems inconsistent to me.

I think bots should be able to place quality tiles as the engineer can do currently. It's very inconvenient that you can have hundreds of thousands of concrete and you cannot do anything with it but delete. Or fly in there and place every tile manually.

I think it's much better to allow to use it even if it means downgrade in quality. This is still better than deleting the item in recycler or storing it in the chest for eternity.

This also applies to space platform foundations, I was on Fulgora with extra uncommon materials, and while you can queue the uncommon space platform foundations it just defaults to normal quality and ignores the uncommon space platform foundations, making higher quality space platforms virtually unusable as space platform starter kits are not affected by quality (neither are the space platforms foundations themselves but i would like to at least place them ).

Using a Quality Starter Pack will yield a Platform with a Quality Hub - which features an Inventory Slot bonus. The Hub cannot be upgraded once the Platform has been built (outside of Editor Mode).

So, not completely useless.
