Personal roboport not working

Post by Tiggy »

Hello! About twenty minutes after I got my personal roboport my personal construction drones stopped working. I've used them before, so was confused.

I have a fully functional robot logistics system in my base. I have a personal roboport. Full charge. Twenty construction bots. Plenty of repair packs. All the parts I need. And personal logistics is ON. I've restarted the game multiple times, and played for several hours. I've built two orbital bases since it went offline.

Any ideas why it has just suddenly stopped working?

You have your personal roboport disabled (see the little grey buttons at the bottom of the screen).

Then why is there a button on the bar AND one in the inventory? Both of which are separately toggleable?

"personal logistics" in the inventory controls whether the logistics robots in your base's roboport network will deliver items from the base to your inventory and take items from your inventory trash slots to base storage. This doesn't have anything to do with personal roboports in your armour or construction robots in your inventory at all.

The personal roboport toggle controls whether your personal roboports in your armour use the construction robots and items in your inventory to build stuff near the player.

These are two totally unrelated systems.
