Construction robots are autonomous floating devices capable of repairing or building the player's structures. They are one of two type of floating robotic devices, the other being the logistic robots. They run on electricity from roboports, or a personal roboport.

Mechanics

Construction robots accomplish various tasks, including:

Construction robots have no means of defending themselves and do not run when they encounter enemies. Because they often operate at the "front", they are in high danger to be destroyed. Despite being a floating entity, ground units using melee are still capable of destroying them.

Researching more cargo or more speed for the logistic bots are also valid for the construction robots.
