Erm... correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that (stock) Scanners Lvl III and Robotoid Factories both have 30% bonus? So a system scanner + planet scanner is equal to a system robotoid + planet robotoid for minerals? With the difference that the robotoid also improves org/rad collection ofcourse and only takes up one facility slot... (two if it's the planet with the system factory, as it will probably have a planet version as well, unless it's a worthless moon)

Mineral Scanners/System Mineral Scanners (and their equivalents) give +15/+30/+45 bonuses since 1.91; before this patch, they gave +10/+20/+30, like Robotoid Factories, and were thus useless. Now, they can actually be helpful, if you have several million research points to sink into getting Mineral extraction to the highest levels.

I recall there was a stack issue or something with one or both of the Robotoid Factories when stacked with either the system Mineral Scanners or other. I don't recall specifically which was which but I do recall it was an issue at some point.

It might have been a bug many years ago... however, a planetary Mineral Scanner is meant to stack with a System Robotoid Factory, or a System Mineral Scanner with a planetary Robotoid Factory. But not planetary Mineral Scanner with planetary Robotoid. You get the best of all of the planet-affecting abilities on the planet and the best of all system-affecting abilities in the system for each resource. Robotoids and Mineral Scanners use the exact same abilities (at least, as far as mineral enhancements go).
