I’ll have to take a look at your mod and see if I can replicate it for the salvaged robots mod. IIRC the firefighter bots will actively seek out fires and put them out. I was trying to hack a few to have my own fire brigade.

The area surrounding my base is VERY flammable, and in the past…well lets just say mistakes were made.

Really? You don’t want to have your own robot army? Even if you don’t use them much, its good to have a nuclear option. For me, having a robot army is its own reward anyway.

I’m hoping that one day hacked robots can be given very simple commands, like to guard or patrol a predefined area. Or sent along with followers on missions as escorts. But [the thread](https://discourse.cataclysmdda.org/t/patrol-routes-guard-duty-for-hacked-robots/17702) where I suggested it doesn’t seem to have gotten much attention, so I don’t know if someone will take the idea and run with it.
