Dedicated logistic routes with drones between chests and independent logistic networks with drones (mail drones)
Posted: Mon Aug 05, 2019 9:15 pm
The idea is to add a logistic line between the request chests and the active provider chests and passive provider chests - everything can be implemented by analogy with the addition of routes for trains
Trains are biulk and requires much space
Drones can take items from any provider chests and put it any request or storage chest if their robort connected in aggregate logistic network - here's big problem - i can't split logistic newtorks if their logistic areas touches with ech other - I know that the game has labels indicating what roboports and another logistic objects have network numbers but it doesn't make sense if there's no way to separate them from each other if the network is still merged into 1 network, if not try to carry the roboports as far as possible and to prevent their contact
I know that drons could eat many energy but sometimes i want to have independent logistic lines which will be quickly serviced and the logistic network will not be excess or lack of items - i can realize it with conveyor belts but I can be limited in the place of laying the conveyor belt and the conveyor line will often be slower than a drone which can develop a higher speed and its route will be shorter than the conveyor belt because most drones stray fly in a straight line
The implementation of this logistical idea should be at the latest stage of the game and require utility science packs and/or space science packs
The more I play the game and try to plan logistics chains for highly specialized routes, the more I come to the conclusion that drones with dedicated logistics routes will be an excellent solution to this logistic problem
Just like mail delivery by mail drone
Too many words but i hope I hope I was able to convey the meaning of my idea
