Hi,

I was looking at the different prototypes and their properties and stumbled over this:

{
  type = "logistic-robot",
  min_to_charge = 0.2,
  max_to_charge = 0.95,
  transfer_distance = 0.5,
  .......
}

I found this nice list of prototype-documentation, but the documentation for robots is not yet there:
https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?tit ... efinitions

Can anyone explain to me, what those properties mean exactly?

Thanks in advance.

I can't find anything about it, but maybe you can experiment with the values.
Maybe make 2 types, one with original settings and the other with changed settings.

My guess based on the naming would be min_to_charge the parts of the max energy when the robot pauses it's action and will try to charge at a roboport.
Max_to_charge might be about when the robot finishes an action and is still above this value it can immediately start another action. If there are no bots above max_to_charge a bot below this value will be choosen.
But that's all guesses, so experimenting will be necessary to confirm it.

Thanks, pieppiep.

Your explanation seems plausible

In all the mods, I've downloaded so far from the mod-portal, they never changed those 3 properties. So they either are good as they are or are unimportant

Ciao, Freaky
