Hi, and thanks for any modder that spend time not to program his own mod but to help people.
I was trying to make a new type of robots that can mine ores in the logistic network, but I don't know what type of entity I can use and how do I make the robots act. I already have an idea of what to do to find the ores, but I didn't find any AI not based on the bitter AI.
Is there a tutorial, a mod that have a similar entity or anything that can help me?
A fourth type of robots
Re: A fourth type of robots
The best way is to create a hidden mining drill that outputs to a hidden passive provider chest near every roboport. Logistic robots will then empty the chest.
Robot AI is not moddable, and writing your own AI will be very slow.

Re: A fourth type of robots
In this case, logistic robots will move the ores, and if there is a great distance between the base and the mining stations, the robots will try to move, will not be available for the important things and will waste 1 or 2 GW in recharge.
And as I have à lot of free time, I'm not afraid of something long. (And I have a second project, after this)

Works as far as i remember by having the "mining" robots on a seperate force so they don't interact with your normal roboports.

Thanks, I didn't think it was possible with constructions robots, I looked at this mod, there is everything I need to do my second project(I will not continue the mining robots as there is already a mod to do that).eradicator wrote:https://mods.factorio.com/mod/robotMiningSite
