Construction robot/infobox

Construction robots are autonomous floating devices capable of repairing or building the player's structures. They run on electricity from Roboports.

Mechanics

Construction robots accomplish various tasks, including:

Construction robots are priority targets of Enemies, meaning Biters/spitters will engage them even if there are Pollution-producing buildings around. 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.

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

Achievements
