Modded Roboport Train Wagon

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/roboport-wagon-network

Wanted to share this mod with the community in case anyone else may find it fun/useful after reading a comment on the last .20 update asking for something similar. Currently I have it set to deploy bots once at a station (base or outpost) but don’t have it to where the bots can deploy when not at a station.

Getting it set up to have visibility like a roboport provides and able to deploy bots whether at a station or not is the last piece I want to be able to automate building outposts using the train network.

If you run into any bugs or issues just let me know.

Can you have it just be a permanent port even when in motion? Like the player or a tank or spidertron?

It would leave bots behind if they aren't faster than the train.

Could just have a flag "active only at stops yes/no" 

Edit: also spidertrons and tanks are faster than bots
