i would much prefer the generators help modifications and bots and get charged the resources then not have the generator help.
Many of us spent long amounts of time moving around our rooms and upgrading our generators to use for just these things. To change it now after the fact without even asking how the players feel about really negatively effects the game. Why not make it a choice when you go to purchase bots or an upgrade have 2 buttons 1 button it cost resources and generators work the other button its free and generators deactivate. I for one have spent a bunch of time and resources and donuts pumping up generators for modifications and bots. So to change it now you need to refund the donuts that were spent building up the hideout.
