Logistics Robots

Post by timefool »

I just got to logistics robots for the first time and am having trouble with them. I have about 20 of them in the roboport and I am trying to move items across my base. The problem is, only one robot goes to the requester chest at a time. My temporary workaround is to have multiple requester chests but that isn't much better.

How do you have multiple logistics robots drop off in one requester chest?

Do you have enough items in provider/storage chests?
Probably as soon as item is ready, single bot takes it and moves to requester?

I have 600 plastic bars in one provider chest and 150 batteries in another. Both are set to bring the contents to requester chests that are pretty much constantly empty.

How many items is the requester chest requesting? If it requests one of the item, then only one of the item will be brought at a time.

Thanks that fixed it! That slider could really use a label.

Yeah, they'll prolly add those things to tutorails and maybe tooltips. For now, it's alpha features =]
