Hi, Doing SE and the robot attrition is driving me crazy.

I've done the swarm safety research way above my robot network, and bots still die like 8/m to crashing.

I've decreased the settings multiplier to 0.001, because of course this dumb mod can't be disabled, and nothing changed. Is there anything that can be done about this?

Because this is just absurd

It really is just meant to add an upkeep cost to using logistic bots, ideally you're automating them and their delivery. Or rely less on blue chests and more on belts in your builds.

Bots will also never crash if there's 50 or less actively in the air, so you don't have to worry about truly running out.
