Hi,

I have a personal roboport in my armor.
I have logistics robots in my inventory.
I have a passive provider chest with ammo.
I have requested ammo in my personal logistics inventory.

Should it be possible for the logistics robots to bring me the ammo?

They don't for some reason. Only if I make a non-personal roboport.

If not, do logistics robots not work with personal roboport? If yes, how can I do it?

Thanks!

Personal roboport only provides a construction area, not a logistics area. You can tell them apart by their colour: the construction area is greenish, the logistics area is orange.

That's dissapointing

Is this just because it's not implemented yet, or on purpose for gameplay reasons?

Searching the internet for personal roboports and logistics bots gives nothing.

The personal roboport is described as "acting like a real roboport", so it should support logistics bots too...

I think it's by design. The goal is to have the ability to place blueprints and automate building even when you're in the middle of nowhere.

This. Plus something else to note is that your personal robots don't interact with the main network at all. So if you tell them to build something, your personal bots will only use items from your inventory to build it, they won't grab anything from the normal network even if the materials are in a provider chest that's in range.

Yep because contruction areas don't link networks with each other, only logistic areas do that. But I think the "personal roboport fix" mod does that at least for the construction area?
