logistic robots disappear!

[Nikroma1]

Hey everyone,
I reconstruct my massic base from the normal style to a full automated logistic robot version. Every single transport was organised by the logistic network. But after sometime my robots disappear! It start by around 6000 robots in the hangars and now are there only 512. I don't know when it stops but have someone an idea, why that happens?

Short version - they probably die while trying to find a place to recharge. This will probably be improved in later versions. In the meanwhile - add more roboports and plan on losing a few every once in a while...

The robots will 'crash' (with no animation or debris unfortunately, so 'vanish') if they run out of power, make sure that you have enough roboports that ALL of your bots can charge.
IF you like mods Robocharge exists, but I haven't used it so not sure about the balance of it.

ah, sillyfly you saved me some time having to look up the other posts (not that it would have been difficult to find the proper search term, but a little time)

Thank you very much. Next time I will try to find a post with the answer.
