That happens to my construction or logistics bots when I give them a massive one-time task in an area with minimal roboport connectivity. But in this case it isn't quite getting to the point of a dense ring, it is more like a moderately increased level of density beyond what is usual, but falling short of discernable rings.bobucles wrote:If bots are lining up in rings around your roboports
These additional rows can be inserted at the stations, or are you suggesting that I must literally have a row of roboports between every two consecutive rows of beaconed assemblers? in the latter case that will increase energy requirements because there would be more rows of beacons which only cover one row of assemblers.PacifyerGrey wrote:Normally you will need one row of roboports per two rows of beaconized production for bots to catch up.

My current base has an iron unloading station in between every 4 to 5 rows of assemblers, with each station having 1 row of roboports on either side (2 rows total). The set of asssembler rows not adjancent to a station also has a single "end-cap" row of roboports. So there are a total of 7 rows of roboports for 14 assembler rows. I think this meets your ratio of 1 roboport row for every 2 assembler rows (smelters are the same as assemblers for the purpose of this discussion)? Or do I also need extra rows for the station?
