robocharger's Introduction

Robocharger

A mod for Factorio

The Robocharger is a 2x2 entity that offers a charging post for robots. Using a Roboport, Iron, Copper, and a couple Big electric poles, we're able to fashion a tesla coil on top of one of the poles.

The Robocharger connects to other roboports if it is within their logistics area. It does not have a logistics area or construction area itself and can not hold robots or repair packs. However, it offers 10 charge ports for robots to use in passing.

robocharger's Issues

Construction Bot Attrition

Construction Bots collide with each other and explode when a certain saturation level is reached.
issue was found under the following conditions
-mostly vanilla server
-only other mods added were, far-reach, fill4me, even distribution, squeak through
-over 251 bots on a network of 4 roboports were active
-after each construction an amount of bots equal to the total - 251 were destroyed bringing the total back down to 251
this was replicated a total of 4 times.

-after mod was removed this issue was not replicated

Update to version 0.16

Thank you for your awesome work, do you think that you can update it to version 0.16?

Needs to be a researched technology

Will have a prerequisite of roboport's research.

Robot recharge rate vs max consumption

So I've noticed my robochargers running out of juice during big construction projects, so I had a look at the stats. The charger can consume at most 10x1.5 (15MW) but can only charge it's internal buffer from the electric network at 10MW. I understand this was an intentional decision, but I would love to have a tab under mod settings to change these parameters :).
