Glitch or bad order?

I am setting up wood farming and i have my digger and cutter doing their jobs and automatically grabbing new tools no problem. My collectors are the problem. I have two for getting logs and two for grabbing seeds. One log grabber will follow directions and fill hands properly but the other will only grab one log at a time. Same directions mind you. My seed grabbers will only grab one seed at a time. My planter is working just fine as well. Seed grabber code is as follows:

Repeat: till hands are full

-find nearest seed

-move to seed

-pick up seed

Repeat: till hands are empty

-move to seedling tray

-add to seedling tray

-end

I have tried the second repeat being within and out of the first repeat cycle. Within will get me one seed at a time and out will fill hands but ignore second repeat function.

Thoughts?

I was running into the same problem. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

This will be fixed in version 4 out on Monday. Thanks

Awesome! Thanks for the update and im excited to see where this game goes!

Quick patch, thank you.

Try reciclyng the robot and create a new one. That happend to me a few times when i teach a new thing to a robot

I've run into this issue as well, until the update comes out the work around I've found to work is to perfom all the actions needed and take out the extra movements. I.E. you have a bot picking up tree seeds and you want them to fill their hand before they deposit the seeds, you click pick up seed untill you have issued the command enough to fill the hand, usually it's 6, then you go and deposit. Usually you have to go back and forth for this, reorder and delete where necessary, until you get the bot to have all the commands necessary to go out and get a full load then deposit the load entirely. It's tedious, yes, but it works until the bug is fixed.

I was playing around with this as well and its works. I was just hoping for an easier solution. Thanks for the reply!

Sure thing, one thing to note though is some items do work with the repeat until full loop, just keep in mind to test before you start using it everywhere. Though it is known that next update will fix this issue

one time appened to me too, just save and load and you fix it. 

Ive found that if you go to the teach menu and simply hit go it will reset the job que and they will go for a while before needing to reset again. This works well with my tool users. They will often get stuck when they need to grab a new tool and clicking go will reset them and get things rolling again.
