When robots try to charge, but the port goes empty, they just leave thier network

I can't think of a single scenario, where this option is actually usefull.
The next random closest network is a complete different system.
You can loose every single bot from the Mainbase to a single roboport far outside...

to me it's just limiting the option of having multiple smaller networks by alot.

There is no network if the robotport does not have power, so the robots "left" their network the moment power ran out.

Did you just linked my own post....okay thanks ?

The qestion is, why the network turns off completly.

The game can't read your mind. It can't tell the difference between a network deliberately made to be isolated vs one that was cut off due to power outage, misplaced power pole, or biters conducting renovations.
