New Mod Announcment: Freeze Bots
Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2025 3:34 pm
New mod announcement!
One persistant QOL irritation for me has been construction robots getting all up in my business while I'm working with blueprints. There is a disable construction robots mod that works based on specific roboports, but I wanted something simpler and disabling many ports caused power demand spikes.
Hence Freeze Bots. It just slows all bots to near zero while enabled. I would have liked to limit it to only construction robots but due to the way speeds are calculated that didn't seem immediately possible and as this is intended only for short stretches I thought it a reasonable compromise.
Details here, and feedback welcome:
