I have an outpost which has construction bots which are continually getting eaten by biters. I have a supply train which provides new bots, but when I use a circuit condition to load the bots to a roboport it does not work. I'm using this setup: The roboport is set to read robot statistics, the inserter is set to enabled when T (total construction bots) is less than 5. The steel chest holds 5 construction bots, and you can see from the power pole that there are only 4 logistic bots in the roboport, and no construction bots.

Because T is less than 5 I would expect the inserter to be enabled, but you can see from the pic that it is turned off. I get the same result if I use Z instead of T in the inserter Enabled condition.

If I manually add a construction bot to the roboport, then the signals show that T and Z show a value of 1, but still the inserter is not active. I attach a BP string for the setup shown.

The logistic network condition of your inserter is not satisfied, if you do not want to use it you need to disconnect it in its GUI. NaB.

Wow, I never thought to check that (I don't even remember setting a logistics network connection in the first place ) - thanks for your help
