Why construction robotics and logistic robotics unlock the two things that are the same? (roboport and provider chest)

Maybe because roboport and provider chests require both techs to be unlocked ?

Nope, with the first tech (logistic robotics) they are unlocked, and since logistic robots need roboports, it wouldnt make much sense for them to be unlocked with the second tech.

Because you need both roboport and provider chest to use these techs. You can either use just construction robots (which is lower tech and doesn't require blue research packs) or you can just research logistics robots without the other one.

Ah sorry didnt notice that construnction robots didnt need logistic robots because I did the logistic robot research quite fast w/o looking research screen...
