Template:Machinery The Roboport is the home for all Robots. It also spawns an area of 50x50 , in which the robots can fly.
- The orange square represents the reach of logistics network where logistics robots can move.
 - The green square represents the extent of construction network where construction robots can repair, construct or remove structures.
 
Roboports have also 4 chargers, which are used to recharge the flying bots.
Two or more roboports can build a Robotic network, if the borders of the covered areas connect.
Inbuild stacks
A Roboport contains 8 Storages/Stacks, reserved for Robots, and another 8 for Repair packs.
Power usage
The Roboport needs ~200 kW of energy when idle, but can use up to ~2 MW when charging bots.
Unuseable knowledge
You can insert robots and repair-packs into the port with an inserter, but since there is currently no control about the inserted number, this is unuseable knowledge.
