This results in a maximum distance of 250 tiles for logistics robots and 257 tiles for construction robots without speed upgrades.įor infinite research levels, the bot speed can be calculated with these formulas:Ĭonstruction: speed = 3.6 × (3.4 + 0.65 × (Level-5)) The maximum travel distance can be calculated using the following formula: 1500 ÷ (3 ÷ speed + 5), speed in tiles/s. That means for 80% of their maximum distance they go straight towards the target, and the other 20% towards a roboport to charge. The robots go to recharge when they hit 20% of their energy capacity. With no research upgrades, the speed of logistic robots is 3 tiles/s and for construction robots 3.6 tiles/s. It must be noted that increasing robot speed does not increase range significantly, see worker robot speed (research). They use 3kW at all times while flying and use an additional 5kJ for every tile travelled. If the queue on that roboport is too long, they eventually choose another port.īots store 1.5MJ of power each. Normally a robot flies to the nearest roboport to recharge.
When the charging-queue for the bots gets too long, the bots (and their loads) will slow down. Generally, a roboport can charge between 50 and 70 bots per min, 4 at a time, but are not very efficient at charging large queues of bots and can quickly become overworked. Furthermore, a roboport also has a 100MJ internal battery allowing bots to keep working for a limited amount of time under low power. Roboports have 4 charging slots each, which charge each bot at 1MW, taking 1.5 seconds to charge 1 robot. This means that they may depart from the original route and even go into the opposite direction, depending on where the closest charging point is. Robots that run out of charge will fly to the closest recharge point instead of their original target. Robots may run out of charge on longer journeys which will reduce their flying speed to 20% of their normal speed. To prevent roboports from linking, the player needs to build them far enough away from each other so that the orange zones don't touch.īots do not fly/migrate from one network to another, unless their home network is destroyed in some way, for example when all roboports are removed or out of power. Visually this is represented by a dashed yellow line connecting them. Two roboports are in the same network only if they are connected, so if their logistic areas are touching. There can be many separate logistic networks. The green zone is the construction area.This is also the maximum distance for connecting two roboports.
The orange zone is the logistic network coverage.
The roboport shows the orange logistic coverage and the green construction coverage when held in the cursor or hovered after placing. The basic thing needed for item transportation is roboports. Supply area 50×50 tiles (orange) Construction area 110×110 tiles (green) After researching logistic robotics, they can configure an amount of items and logistic robots will start to move the specified items from the network to the character's inventory. The player character can also act as requester chest in the logistic network, allowing them to 'request' various items be kept at a set limit within their personal inventory. However, robots offer much higher mobility, since they can fly over obstacles in a beeline.
DRONE STATION BLUEPRINT FACTORIO SERIES
Click here for a larger image.Ī logistic network is a series of different logistics chests and logistic robots all covered by one or more connected roboports.ĭepending on the type and configuration of the chests and area of the logistic network the robots will transport items between these chests as a power-hungry alternative to moving items manually, or by belts or railway. Logistics robots are ideal in train stations, since very high item throughput on a short distance is needed. The train delivers items that are filled into active provider chests and then put into the requester chests to be loaded onto belts. This gif shows how robots can load or unload chests in a train station.
