| 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 ==
| |
| As of 0.8.5, robots with no energy are destroyed leaving nothing behind. Carried items are also destroyed.
