Nice mod but needs a bot control panel.
I know this has been mentioned in other discussions already, namely the "bot ideas" discussion but I feel as though I need to state what I would like from the control panel. Firstly I would like it if you could assign bots to control panels so that way you can have your miner, farm and defense bots each hooked into their own catigorized control panel and be able to recall any group of bot you want back to base from their specialized control panel. Secondly I would like it if you could use the control panel to tell the miner bots how you want them to mine so if you want a gaint cube cleared of both background blocks and actual solid blocks then you tell them to do so. On the topc of tell bot what to do I would like it if I could set a patrol route/routine for most bots in general so the arent wandering aimlessly and you can customize their patterns to fit you needs a bit better so they aint running everywhere when they cant fiind something to do. Ive had times where the miner bots and farm bots will run back and forth over and over agian because for some reason they cant figure out what they are supposed to be doing in that moment. There has been a few times that the miner bots will waste a good 2 minutes of their time while mining when they are going to unload stuff because rather then make a new chest on the floor they are at, they will jump back up like 10 floors or more to put their stuff in a chest. Im pretty sure they do it this way as to try to not put a chest oin every floor but even as it is right now most times when they finally do put down a chest they will put another chest right below or above it.

To summariy
1. Set controll panels so they controll different groups of bots and recall/shutdown seleted groups easily
2. Reprogrammable routines/patrol routes to fit the users needs more.
3. Remappable mine patterens for mining bots so you can specify what you need dug out including the background blocks.

If i could get something ike the TURTLEs from the computer craft minecraft mod i would love it beyond beflief because those things were great to play with and after a few hours of messing with it was great to mess with their code adn get them to do all kinds of constuction and mining and even combat

I am sorry if I made an impossible request or was too harsh with wording. I was tired at the time of making this and just intalled the mod and was playing around on a planet after setting some miner bots down. After about a half an hour of me doing my own thing on the same planets the bots were on I went back to check the bots and the bots barely had done much mining. At this point they had just gotten down to the part of teh planet where the background and sound changes to that of a cave and made only about 3 complete strips. I was a bit annoyed and so I took one of the bots and set it in a plot of land I had not touched and watched it as carefully as I could and then typed out the post above. my thoughts still stand and I still think the miner bots A.I. needs a bit of tweaking because I do often come back to find them just running in place or not moving at all only to watch then teleport back to the start of the mine when they were in a place they could have mined rather then teleport
