I've noticed a strange behavior on my Fulgora island where the total number of bots steadily decreases down to 0. The entire island is covered with lightning collectors, and there are 6 Roboports with enough energy to power all machines throughout the night.

I haven't found any information about flying robots being damaged by lightning strikes, but they also disappear during the day. Since they never fly out of the "protected" zone i assume this behaviour isn't intended.

Within the last hour i have produced > 300 logistic bots.

Yet when checking a roboport of the network there are only a few left.

As of writing this post there are only 2 bots left in the network. The "Kills" tab is empty btw.

Thanks for the report. Based on the description, I suspect your robots could migrate to other islands when the power is low. (118453)

Sorry, i forgot to add that i have only one island with roboports. I also did not have a poweroutage within the last hour.


EDIT: I found the issue. It was user error. I apparently had an inserter taking bots from a roboport and putting them into a normal chest that i didn't see. Awkward.
