construction robots doing nothing

Post by MicFac »

I made my robots build some solar arrays and later I noticed some construction robots flying at a roboport doing nothing, not even charging. Also, the solar arrays had already finished and there was nothing else for the robots to do. I looked at the statistics and it said that 1231 of 2002 construction robots were available. I have no idea why this could be happening. If you need any more information, feel free to ask.

That is usually what happens when bots dont have storage chest to put stuff in, but you said they were building. Hmm...
