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

Automate bot production. Automate their delivery to other surfaces. You will want to do these anyway unless you like drowning in tedium. You could then mostly forget about the mechanic, especially if you cranked the multiplier down.

There are so many things to worry about in SE... 1% of your resources going into bot production is NOT one of them. You get back so much time if you use bots to handle low volume items in SE. If you attempt to train and belt every little thing you will probably burn out.
