TL;DR

Add various types of power source for roboports, not only electricity (or void).

What ?

I wanted to make a mod with several tiers of roboports at different levels of technology: solid fuel (burner) roboport, heat roboport, liquid fuel roboport, etc.
However, when prototyping and loading the game, I got an error message “only electricity and void can be a source of energy for roboports”.
Please add the ability to assign other energy sources to roboports.

Why ?

Expanding technological capabilities and having more fun with different styles of play
