Hi,

I have recently set up my first logistics network and have a major problem. Some of my logistics robots are getting "stuck" in their work schedule. They Hover around the Roboport, some with, some without items and do nothing even when there is more work to be done. Also there are empty storage chests nearby. The only way to reset them is to pick them up and put them back in the Roboport.

I don't know if this is a bug or if I am just doing something wrong.

Hmm... Well usually when they do that, it means they are waiting to charge at the roboport. But in your screenshot, it doesn't look like there are any bots currently charging, so I don't think they are waiting for power... O.o Hopefully someone else has some insights.

It does look like they're waiting to recharge, maybe it's because there are so many there that they're waiting a long time and ran out of power. When they're out of power they move very slowly, so it takes them longer to get from the waiting spot to the roboport to recharge.

When roboports are extremely busy like that, you can put many roboports close to eachother so the logistic bots will have more choice of where to recharge.

I recommend also the robocharge mod. https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =14&t=3798

Off topic: For my uses I fiddled the energy usage a bit lower (1/4), so it is in my eyes really fair.

I added 2 more Roboports and now the issue is fixed. Thank you guys.
