The personal roboport allows the player to act as a mobile roboport when this item is placed in their equipped armor or the spidertron. It can be toggled on or off via a button in the shortcut bar or with ALT + F. The roboport's internal energy buffer must be 20% full to allow construction robots to deploy. They are also used to create the upgraded version of itself, the personal roboport MK2, which provide a higher robot limit.

If the personal roboport is disabled via the shortcut bar while any of the player's robots already out of the inventory and performing a task, they will continue to finish their tasks before returning to the player.

Notes

• Personal roboports handle construction robots only, not logistic robots. If a blueprint is used, construction robots will construct only what can be built using supplies that the player has on hand.
• Just like other robots, if a personal robot runs out of energy it will reduce its speed but continue its attempt to catch up with the player.
• Equipping more than one personal roboport allows more personal construction robots to operate at once, operate further from the player, and more robots can be recharged at a time.
• Each personal roboport allows an additional 10 active robots, additional range, and 2 charging ports.
• The internal energy buffer of the roboport has a capacity of 35 MJ, or almost as much as two personal batteries.
• The total range of N personal roboports can be calculated with the following equation, which is then rounded to the nearest integer: sqrt(N × 30 × 30)
