Trying to understand logistic network bots

Post by Phisidium »

Hi,

I'm currently building my first bot based base and I am having trouble with the logistic bots...
Below an overview of the base.

As you can see my green circuit production is in the middle, with the top requester chest row requesting 200 copper wire. To the right is the copper wire production - with all passive provider chests filled

What I am not understanding is why the requester chest are so empty? According to the requester chest it is requesting 200 wires, with 345k wires available in the logistic system and 4247 idle logistic bots. Shouldn't there be more bots flying to fill up the chest? At the moment only one bot is delivering an item at a time...

I believe bots are buggy in the current build. viewtopic.php?f=30&t=56135 . It should be fixed for 0.16.14. (Also you will save a lot of bots if you direct insert copper wire).

Thanks for letting me know. I'll wait till the update comes out then.

I may save a lot of bots if I insert them directly, but I wouldn't get the 540% speed bonus :D
