Restircted zones for logistic robots

Post by KeyCollector »

I'd like to suggest a tool for marking chunks as restricted zones for logistic robots, preventing them from flying over dangerous areas. For example, in Fulgora, robots often take the shortest path across a U-shaped zone covered with lightning rods, only to get struck by lightning. Similarly, on Nauvis, they might fly over enemy nests and get attacked. I’ve added a screenshot of Fulgora to demonstrate this. With this tool, you could redirect the robots to safer paths, ensuring their protection.

What is your attrition rate? Is it significant for a base like that?

What do you mean with "attrition rate"?

How many bots are you losing per hour?

at 1000 logistic robots working, I lose 500 to 600 per hour. Assembler is crafting new bots until there are 1000 in the network.
