📋 About This Mod
Utility mod to help replace/upgrade bots within a network. Bots in the replacer provider chest are released to the network when a bot of the same type, but different name is found in a roboport. The bots that do not match the provider are removed from the roboport and placed in the logistics storage network. Should work with all modded bots and roboports. Megabase warning: Chest is Calculation heavy when any items are in it. Only put bots in it and keep empty to idle efficiently.
Robot Replacer is a utility mod that automates bot upgrades by swapping old bots for new ones in your logistics network. It releases replacement bots from a provider chest and removes mismatched bots from roboports into storage. Ideal for players managing large bot fleets.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Saves tons of time when upgrading bot fleets—no more manual swapping.
- Simple concept that works exactly as described: provider chest + roboport = clean swap.
- Lightweight utility with a solid download count (34k+) for a niche tool.
⚠️ Cons
- Only works with bots of the same type but different names—limited to specific upgrade scenarios.
- No configuration options mentioned, so you're stuck with the default behavior.
- Compatibility with other bot-modifying mods is unverified—could conflict with overhaul mods.
This is for Factorio players who run large bot networks and frequently upgrade bot tiers. It's also handy for modpack players who swap bot types mid-game. If you're a casual builder, you probably won't need it.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the replacement bots in a provider chest and ensure the chest is within the logistics network.
- Make sure the new bots have a different name from the old ones, or the replacer won't trigger.
- Use a filtered inserter to load the provider chest only with the new bot type to avoid mix-ups.
