I haven't really gone deep into the space platforms, so it's pure speculation. But I'm thinking that the asteroid spawns will be distributed to active chucks, which would explain why just making a really wide platform doesn't increase resource generation as you expand.
As for speed affecting spawns ...

my friend, this is implementing of pathfinding for robots! 8-)

because you're trying to give them a better path to their destination - one that gives them better access to charging. potato, potato.


That is not path finding... I am not concerned about the destination of the goods when ...

it might be interesting if there were a mod interface to enable some kind of smarter pathfinding algo for bots. modders could then add a "Smart Logistics Bot" that could be used for the more intensive parts.


I would prefer that, too. All we discuss here is super theoretical or discussion of ...

hm.... maybe if you have 20 stations and 19 trains its ok, but.. like in my situation (look at 1st pictire) if you have 3 stations and.. lets say 2 trains - if you put limit = 1 to every station nothing will change - those 2 trains will feed 2 nearest stations and far station 1 will starve :)

The numbers are more relevant than the picture anyway and I don't see why you can't discuss those without seeing a picture of some roboports.
Because it is a difference if I place 20 roboports per chunk or 0.5 roboports.


But it doesn't matter when the point is that 12 tiles away from a ...

It's a tab in the game properties (right click the game in your library).

I'm not sure I can really see the difference (granted I don't have any knowledge of anno, apart from what you just shared). What is the difference between having a science per minute parameter and a population count. One produces infinite research that increase mine production (or bot flying speed ...

I think this was the spot I took a reading on. The traffic does vary a bit depending on where it's taking the barrels from, so the numbers at this exact spot might not be the same as when I looked at them. The purpose was to show the numbers I was seeing at a specific time at a specific place to ...

5 | S| 18 | 23 | 24
5 | 14 | 23 | 28
0 | 13 | 24 | 32
0 | S| 18 | 28 | 27
Where the numbers are robots in queue and S is a substation.

Dunno, what you mean with this list of numbers. If that are roboports in some kind of “fixed grid” I would add SOME around those with the highest numbers ...

If barrels or barreled product ever build up anywhere you need extra barrels to keep the flow going. If this build up ever releases it will flood the system and if you don't have enough buffer to handle the overflow then it will jam.

I am not asking for anything to be added to the game, simply for some already existing values to be adjusted. If this is a misconception, please explain how in detail.

I guess it depends on what your baseline is. I would think that if there is no departure condition it would have no reason to depart.

In other words baseline is that a train has a schedule that orders it to do stuff. Once it has executed its order it will start executing the other. Unless you tell ...

If there's no wait condition it doesn't wait. If there's no departure condition it still departs.

If the general behaviour is similar to early versions on the game, then radius translates into increased weight, which then translates into longer queue before alternatives are picked. So in my understanding increasing weights would in practice be similar to dynamically reducing the queue limit ...

@Guenni7
It is possible that I'm just overestimating the congestion of my network or that it has something to do with many robots being assigned simultaneously causing fluctuations in the queues. It is admittedly a bit hard to spot what's actually going on in a cluster bots.
I'm not suggesting to ...

Never after it was possible to turn off the auto replace. Before that I occasionally did by mistake, usually when I was driving around in a spidertron. I often have the remote selected and select stuff from the quickbar directly after moving (I pretty much only use the hotkeys for the remote).

- we need to differ between logistic bots and construction bots, because this is also a question of balancing (logistic) bots vs. belts


I don't think that's necessary, the balancing should in my opinion be done through features you interact with as player (like number of charging stations per ...

There's a debug option that turns on the grid.

Edit: f4 -> show-tile-grid in case you haven't used debug options before.

Ghosts for things where you do not have the material still fills the construction queue and they will regularly be checked postponing other construction jobs, so that will likely cause delays when you place new blueprints.

If linking networks with chest/inserter connections is cumbersome I would do ...

While logistic networks do get more efficient when they cover smaller areas, it might not necessarily be the size alone causing issues.

When you say the robots take forever to build stuff, is that because they take long to react to ghosts being placed or simply because they move from far away.
