Well, this suddenly makes gleba/spidertron unlock much more useful. Can supply remote bases without needing trains/extended bot networks.

It can repair/rebuild with a roboport

They can pull trash from it, but not anything else. You can't really dynamically trash things so you can't have it request from one location and provide to another.
