Cannot get Mining Robots in midair #7

I tried getting the miner robots while they're flying but "cannot mine enemy structures" showed up :)

Hi, Yes this is correct. Currently mining robots are just construction robots which belong to a different faction than the player. Therefore the player can't mine them. Since factorio doesn't support to execute custom commands for robots there is however no way to fix this currently. For factorio 0.13 I will reconsider this and try to improve it if possible. For the moment please use the circuit condition to stop the mining site and pick up the robots in the robot chest.

Can you also make the miner robots less prioritized over the builder robots? They're talking their jobs and thus draining my electricity reserves
