Fixed Robots not Assignable to Interior Commercial Plots

Unsure if it's intentional or not, but I'm unable to assign robots to commercial plots, claiming that "Robots cannot own homes." even though a commercial plot isn't residential.
 
Two things I can think of:

First, you may have the Commercial requirement set to its default: homes.

https://simsettlements.com/web/wiki/index.php?title=Options&redirect=no#Commercial_Requirement

Robots don't build or own homes. So if you've got an all robot settlement, or if you don't have enough regular settlers with houses in the mix, the commercial plot isn't assignable.

If so, you could change the Commercial Requirement in the city manager holotape to population or none and see if that changes things.

But, the second thing is I don't think robots get the vendor dialog option even you are able to assign them to a store.

I thought that there might've been a home requirement for commercial plots but I have any and all set to none. Additionally I have 24 beds set up in the settlement.
 
I'm also encountering a similar issue with assigning robots to the vanilla stores, they simply won't assign and if I can get them assigned, they deassign shortly afterwards. These are also Servitrons from the Servitron mod I'm trying to use, however they only modify body parts and assaultron stuff, not coding regards to plots or stores.
 
@Wake I just was finally able to test this. Commercial Requirement set to None. I have only (two) robots at Sunshine Tidings.

I have no problem assigning a robot to an exterior Commercial plot.

I, then, plopped down an interior commercial plot. Cannot assign the same robot to this plot. I get a notification that robots can't use beds or own homes and that children cannot be assigned to this type of plot.

I changed the plot type to Ag and was able to assign the robot. Once the robot was assigned and the grow room built, I changed the plot type back to commercial. The robot was automatically unassigned from the plot and I got the same notifications that robots don't use beds and children can't be assigned to this kind of plot.

I don't have the perks to build vanilla stands this play thru, so I couldn't test that bit. But the other seems to be a problem with SimSettlements, not the Servitron mod.

Thanks for going so in depth in trying to replicate the bug! Good to know it seems to be an explicit issue with Sim Settlements so hopefully they'll be able to fix that next patch. Was super concerned it was some rogue mod in my long modlist causing the issue.
 
Tested the new update and this bug still exists in the latest version.

Nicely scienced!
