The robotic network was introduced with v0.8.0, which also added the [[Repair pack]]s and [[Construction robot]]s.
#REDIRECT[[Logistic network]]
 
[[Roboport]]s are the base of the robotic network. They cover an area of 50x50 [[Tile|tiles]] and if placed near enough together, they are connected and build one big robotic network. [[Robots]] can fly inside this network to every point covered by the roboports. Roboports are expensive in both: the crafting and the need for power.

== [[Logistic network]] ==
 
The area covered by a robotic network is identical to a [[Logistic network]]. All [[Logistic network/Chests]] inside a robotic network are connected and build one [[Logistic network]]. Imagine the logistic chests send their containments to the roboports.
 
See [[Logistic network]].
 
== [[Repair]] ==
 
All broken entities will be repaired with [[Repair pack]]s by the [[Construction robot]]s. Destroyed entities will be replaced, if they are available in the same logistic network.
 
See [[Repair]].
 
== Number of bots in a robotic network ==
The amount of robots per network is limited:
* the roboports don't have unlimited space.
* flying robots need energy and the charging points are limited.
 
See also this [http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1773 discussion].
 
So the number of bots in a network depends on these factors:
* number of roboports
* the average distance between the roboports (density)
* the form of the robotic network/placement of the ports
* average distance the logistic bots fly between [[Logistic network/Chests]]
* how much damage the [[Construction robot]]s must repair
 
And in general:
* number of bots flying
* number of bots stored in roboports
 
As a rule of thumb between 50-100 bots per [[Roboport]] is possible.
 
== No energy left ==
Robots running out of energy don't move anymore (link to discussion in forum).
 
== See also ==
* [[Robots]]
* [[Transport]]
* [[Repair]]
