Description

Configurable Pickup and Drop-off Points

Allow robot arm pickup and drop-off locations to be set by the player. Player could set robot arm for a short pickup, long drop-off, or drop-off 90° from pickup, etc. For example:

The short version of the robot arm wouldn't be necessary, instead the player would install the regular robot arm and configure short pickup and short drop-off.

Multiple Types for Smart Robot Arm

Allow the player to select more than one item type for a smart robot arm to move. For example, they could set an arm to move all ores, or set an arm to move both compost and seeds.

I second the multiple types for Smart Robot Arms, or failing that, a ‘not’ mode so you can ask them to move anything but a given item, most obviously Logistics Drones. I use SRAs to return drones to a track loop by the drone bays, and this is more convoluted than it needs to be if they could just remove the cargo and leave the drones on it.
