Your request to Denki looks like you are seeing bots' energy running out and you are having the Farmer-Player wind those bots "all day long".  Since the developers have been working for almost a year now on creating the next version of Autonauts, there won't be any more updates from them to the current version.

Hopefully by now you have built some bots that can wind other bots.  You might have then found that the bot-winding-bot also has its energy running out and so it also needs another bot to wind it.

Some people like to build Steam Bots and give them the task of winding the Basic Bots because the Steam Bots don't need to be wound and can instead put logs into their own inventories to keep their energy from running out all by themselves.

gmrose9 Thank you for this reply but, it is not about winding the bots it is about the metal not coming out most of the time, so I am wondering if they can make metal more common.

Since Denki recently reported that they have found a publisher for the new version of Autonauts, there certainly won't be any more updates to the old version of Autonauts.  I presume that your statement "it is about the metal not coming out most of the time" refers to how when a bot uses a pickaxe on the grey areas called "metal deposits" sometimes stones are harvested and other times metal ores are harvested.  You would like the frequencies of those harvests to be 75% metal ore and 25% to be stone.

Since it has been several months since your first posting on this topic, I imagine that you have already created several bots that store the stones and the metal ores into storage bins and have created other bots that use those stones and metal ores.  Once the stones and ores are being stored and used, it no longer should matter how frequently they are harvested.  Since the winding of the bots is also not an issue, perhaps you might find helpful an example of how one bot has been trained to only use the Pickaxe on the Metal Deposits when needed and to get a new Pickaxe when its hands are not full because the last Pickaxe broke, as shown below.
