Bot Charging

Post by rickkelley »

--I have noticed that the bots as they are flying suddenly reduce their speed to a slow crawl. I have of course figured out that this is due to their battery being low, and they need to dock at one of the robo-ports to recharge.

However as I have been setting up my network whenever I notice this I try to add in another robo-port so as to make their journey as fast as possible. When I place a new one in their path, even if it is powered, they ignore it & go on to their original destination to charge. Of course any new ones that have not yet locked on to a charging location will stop.

I have seen them suddenly swerve off course to charge as they go on delivery route, so obviously they can change their destination, but why they don't see a new port to charge at once locked on is what I think is a minor bug.

It's not, they have a target and are not searching constantly if a new and closer one got created.
