[0.18.22] Construction robots seem to be ignoring cargo capacity
Posted: Mon May 04, 2020 7:22 pm
Was playing on a modded save with RobotWorld-Continued (and others), came across this problem, but the mod author doesn't know how to fix it.
So, I decided to try things on a vanilla game, to avoid all the "it's this mod or this mod causing it". Started up a new game in freeplay, default mapgen settings, except turned off enemies.
I am attaching the log file and the savefile I used for this test, but here are the steps to reproduce:
Enable cheat mode with command.
Research all technologies with command.
Craft 100 transport belts.
Craft 5 logistic robots.
Craft 5 construction robots.
Craft 1 roboport, and 1 storage chest.
Craft enough items to get basic power going, and set it up.
Place roboport and put all bots inside, noticing that the tooltip says "1 + 3" for cargo capacity for both types of bots.
Create blueprint containing 20 transport belts.
Place storage chest and put all belts inside.
Create a logistic request for 20 transport belts, and notice that it takes all 5 logistic bots only 1 trip each to deliver.
Place blueprint, and notice that it takes all 5 construction bots 4 trips each to place the belts, indicating that they are only carrying 1 belt at a time.
Unless I'm missing something, it seems that the construction bots should be using the same cargo carrying capacity as the logistic bots. Yes? Thanks for your attention.
