Bots with Shovevole pathing sanity check?

[Tigin]

Id love for an in game, late game mechanic to adjust tightly compact builds without tearing everything apart. One idea i had was to have bots (rovers, biobots) with the same pathing and hitbox as shove voles. Can I get a reality check on if this is feasible? The lack of Frankenstein mods in general makes me suspect something like this is hard to do.

I made something like this for a mod, basically a shove vole with the AI of a robot who can do chores.
doable, yes. but the performance impact may be problematic. basically imagine dupes in jetpacks, but worse. 1-2 would be fine probably, but not more.
