  • Repairing Damaged Structures<\/strong>: These robots also handle the repair of damaged buildings, ensuring the continuous operation of your factory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Deconstruction<\/strong>: Construction Robots can deconstruct structures and collect resources for recycling or repurposing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Step-by-Step Usage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Research the Technology<\/strong>: Ensure you have researched the necessary technology to unlock Construction Robots.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Craft the Robots<\/strong>: Using the appropriate resources, craft a number of Construction Robots.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Place Roboports<\/strong>: Install Roboports strategically around your factory to provide charging and task assignment for the robots.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Create Blueprints<\/strong>: Design and save blueprints for structures you want to automate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Deploy Robots<\/strong>: Place the robots in your inventory, and they will automatically start building or repairing as per the blueprints and task assignments.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Commands and Codes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Blueprint Command<\/strong>: B<\/code> (Opens the blueprint library)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Deconstruction Planner<\/strong>: SHIFT + D<\/code> (Activates the deconstruction planner)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Robot Count<\/strong>: To check the number of active Construction Robots, use the command ALT + R<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Logistic Robots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Logistic Robots are essential for automating the transport of items between chests and machinery within your factory. They are the levitating type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Key Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Item Transportation<\/strong>: Logistic Robots transport items between logistic chests, such as storage, provider, and requester chests.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Supply Management<\/strong>: These robots ensure that machines are consistently supplied with the necessary materials, improving production efficiency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Inventory Balancing<\/strong>: They help balance inventories by moving items where they are most needed, based on demand and supply settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Step-by-Step Usage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Research the Technology<\/strong>: Research the required technology to unlock Logistic Robots.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Craft the Robots<\/strong>: Craft Logistic Robots using the required resources.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Place Logistic Chests<\/strong>: Install various logistic chests (provider, requester, storage) to define the flow of materials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Configure Requests<\/strong>: Set up requester chests to specify which items and quantities are needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          5. Deploy Robots<\/strong>: Place the robots in your inventory, and they will begin transporting items according to the logistic network setup.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Commands and Codes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Logistic Network Overview<\/strong>: ALT + N<\/code> (Opens the logistic network overview)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Request Items<\/strong>: Right-click on a requester chest to set item requests.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Check Robot Status<\/strong>: Use the command ALT + L<\/code> to check the status of Logistic Robots in the network.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Integration Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Optimizing Roboport Placement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Ensure Roboports are placed to cover the entire factory area to minimize idle time and maximize efficiency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Use overlapping Roboport coverage to ensure that robots can always find a charging station.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Balancing Robot Usage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Maintain a balance between the number of Construction and Logistic Robots to avoid bottlenecks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Regularly check and adjust the logistic network settings to align with production demands.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
