Copying Data Between Bots

That's Crude Data Storage between me and my Bot, Pete. You can make that in the Worker Assembler with 1 Plank and 1 Metal Plate.

Developer

I take the Crude Data Storage and put it in Pete's inventory - a bit like putting a disk in his drive :)

Developer

Now Pete has Crude Data Storage inserted, when I look inside his brain I see two new options: Backup and Restore. I select Backup to save his script to the disk.

Developer

Hey, here's Mary. Let's give her the data we just copied from Pete...

Developer

We take the Crude Data Storage from Pete's inventory and put it in ours.

Developer

Then we give the disk with Pete's data on it to Mary...

Selecting Restore loads the data into Mary's brain; she now knows what Pete knows :)

Wow! That is SO cool!

That works for logistic/storage/fieldworker bots but not for bots that using machines/benches/furnaces, like this clay pot production setup.

You could add a ?-button to reselect the machine (and maybe the storage so the hole setup were easier to copy, because min. 4 setups like this are needed)

Developer

Ok I think what you want is to be able to use a script in different ways for tasks that are very similar but not identical. Is that right?

Kind of .. more: the same tasks/scripts on a diffrent location.

Would i copy this setup on the screenshot,to set it up further away (to prevent interfereing), the workers would move to the storages of the old setup.

Developer

Ok thanks. I'll add it to our suggestion list.
