data storage revamp

when data storage was implemented was a huge change and improvement. Now that I have +200 bot it is starting to be difficult to keep track of all the disks, plus, all those disks lying around. Furthermore, If I want to save, change or restore a disk, I, sometime, have to walk a long distance.

I was thinking of a different way:

Use the bot assembler as a data storage. We would, still, have to use the disks (or maybe not) to save the data and then ¨upload¨ it into the assembler, then if we want to do something with that data, we just select a bot and (somehow, a scroll list, maybe) we can do it from there, from everywhere on the map.

maybe it is too much, I dont know, and ¨naming¨ would have to be implemented first, but I think it would be a nice improvement.

The Crude Data Storage is only the beginning :) You can always leave data storage with a Bot acting as a designated holder of data in its inventory (a Crude Bot is good for this because its inventory is largest). That way you can take advtange of the remote Trade option and just take the disks you need as you need them.

thats a great idea.

problem is, without renaming, after a few i´ll lost track...

worth trying any anyway, tks.
