[0.13.15] Personal roboport robots extremely slow
Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2016 12:09 am
Hi,
tl;dr - Robots from personal roboport getting extremely slow to find work. As in, I stand next to something that should be built, and I have the resources on me, but I have to wait 10-20 seconds until notice.
This is in multiplayer, but I don't think this matters. We have less than 1000 robots in our system, including all logistic networks in our map, and our personal roboports. This is in a situation where my personal roboport doesn't overlap with the normal logistic area, so there should be minimal interaction. Basically I'm building train tracks using blueprints, and when I place the blueprint, the robots immediately go out for "one round" of laying tracks, then come back, recharge, and go back into my inventory. Then I wait 10-20s without moving until they do the next round of deployment and this repeats. This gets clearly worse when there is a lot of work queued up, but this seems much worse than it should be. In this case here this was shortly after we ghost built a huge extension for the solar panel area, consisting of an additional 16 roboports or around 5000 things to be built (but as mentioned before, my latency that I complain about here is my personal roboport, and at a time when I had zero overlap with that huge area to be built up).
Is there any way this performance could be improved, waiting 10 seconds all the time is extremely painful ...
Thanks!
