Robot and Roboport Charging Rate Infinite Research

[Aaa9991]

Can someone make a mod that has a line of infinite research for the speed at which a robot is charged by a roboport and the speed at which roboports charge themselves? There is already mods for an infinite research for logistic robot carrying capacity and battery life, but there is no mod for the current version of the game that has infinite research for the speed at which robots are able to charge at the roboports.

There are mods for carry capacity and battery size because the game itself provides those as a type of modifier, so there's basically no effort to do those. Changing the charging speeds and power draw of roboports don't have a modifier for them, so you can't just add a tech with the modifier and be done, and prototypes can't be altered without reloading the game. The only way to do it would be to make a different roboport prototype for each level of the tech and then complicated scripting to swap out every roboport in the game with the new one when the research completes. It's not impossible, but it's several orders of magnitude more effort, and can't be infinite since you can't have infinite prototypes.

There are a few mods which add roboport tiers, Bob's and 5Dim's come to mind, which are much much easier to handle.
