Suspend Bot - Suggestion for bot command

My suggestion for a new bot command is a sleep/suspend mode that should act almost like "ran out of power" and to allow a wake command from another bot (similar to a recharge).

For example lets say there is a bot that is tasked to make shovels, but I don't want infinite shovels ... so it should make one and then "suspend". Then there is a bot tasked to dig holes > until hands empty... then wake up a suspended bot. Now the suspended bot will wake and make a new shovel. The digger bot can take the shovel and carry on digging.

Hope you like the idea, looking forward to this games progress :)

This would be a great idea i could have a bot that needs a tool signal another bot to make a tool and give that to the requesting bot

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes we're planning on doing exactly that sort of thing: having a new scripting button that allows you to add a condition like you've described. Not sure when that will happen but it will be soon.
