Logistics Network Robot Count

[LordAn77]

Hi all,

Dabbling with logistics, I'm trying to read the number of construction & logistics robots in a robo-port, and if that number is less than 150 respectively, enable inserters to insert new robots. The way I'm trying to do this is straightforward: connect the roboport to the inserters, and set "construction robots" "<" "100" for the enable flag on the inserter. (equiv. for logistics robots).

However, even though there are already more than 100 such robots in the port (by inspecting it, or mouse-over display for the logistics network information), the inserter is still enabled (see green lights in the screenshot), and merrily continues to insert.

If I set the the condition to "robots" ">" "100" (i.e., "greater than") it's disabled , but that seems incorrect to me.

Am I misunderstanding something, or is this a genuine bug?

You are reading logistic network contents not port content, click on the roboport and change the radio button, build your logic around the signals now shown in the roboport UI.

Ah, I completely missed that toggle, thanks a lot! ^_^;;
