This has come up before but I would like to suggest a simple cleaning robot like a roomba. In other words a small slow robot which would randomly drive around and clean floors.

I suggest that it would have the following limits:

Would require a smooth surface to move. No going outside or going through items on floor. No going over boulders. Would need floor or smooth rock to travel.

Slow compared to colonists.

Can only go through auto doors.

Expensive to buy/difficult to make. Same tech requirement as automated turrets.

Would require power. Would have little solar panel on back and would stop running in dark area. If accidentally ran into area with no light, would require rescuing.

Thanks I might try. I think it is something which could be added to the main game though.

A cleaner and hauler robot would be awesome! :D

The light requirement would brake it, though... better let it have a regular loading station to which it must occasionally return.
