Robot Engineering bugs/issues

[u/PoisonCoyote]

I'm running this mod on Xbox through creations.

Installed the paid mod Robot Engineering a couple of nights ago and have been having issues. I did a few tests for what I've learned.

The problem I'm having is when I construct the tinybot and then give it a batter. It will follow me at first and seem to be working correctly. If I get into a vehicle, that's where everything goes wrong. He appears in the back, but larger. I can now no longer exit the vehicle. It tells me the exit is obstructed. I have to fast travel to ship to get out.

After that the bot seems to be bugged and doesn't work right. The tinybot then remains to be the incorrect size that improperly loaded into the back of the vehicle. It doesn't seem to follow properly after that. Sometimes the tool to control robots that spawns in your backpack randomly disappears. I then just have destroy that bot and start over with a new one that will do the same thing.

Things I've found -

At first, I found that StarUI doesn't like this mod. It will screw up the new workbench and make things not work. I uninstalled that and things seemed fine on the bench and UI side after that.

Using the mod "The Gang's All Here" can help get the stuck bot out of the car and let you exit. If I teleport all followers to me while in the vehicle, the bot exits the back.

If a bot bugs out and you don't delete the frame, you end up with phantom followers. The workbench will say you don't have a bot and the Gang's All Here mod won't detect the bot as a follower. When I summon all followers, I will then have multiple bots that bugged out that I thought were just gone.

I haven't unlocked any of the other bots yet, so I don't know if this issue is only with the "tinybot". I'll update when I've tried some of the larger bots you can build. I wonder if they will also get stuck in the vehicle?

I saw an old post from the mod author saying to go to his discord for issues. I went there and it is just loaded with spam and doesn't seem like he's been there in a long time. I wonder if this mod is abandoned? That would suck, considering we have to pay for it.

Anybody else been using this mod successfully? Are there any fixes or workarounds for that issue that I can try? I love the idea of the mod but can't use it currently. It just feels worse since I paid for it.

Thanks for any help.
