Hey guys,

is it possible to prevent robots migrating from one logistic network to another?

I don't know exactly why this happens, but I think it's related to bots making a detour trying to recharge, or maybe after fulfilling a request they, for some reason, go to rest to a roboport in a different logistic network.
Or it might've happened that after fulfilling a request, the closest roboport in the original logistic network was completely drained of power and the next closest powered roboport was in a different logistic network, so that's why they migrated?

Does that make sense? Anyone else experienced such behavior?
AFAIC, bots should never migrate to a different logistic network.

Thanks

Yes, when roboports lose all power they are no longer part of a logistic network.
So when a robot fulfills its tasks, it no longer has home to go to and it goes to the nearest (other) network.

Also see Robots suddenly leave the main network.

OK, thank you, makes sense.
