Construction bots are returned to different logistic network when roboports in current logistic network are out of energ

Post by ladavarga »

STR:
1. Happens mainly in Fulgora where they can be many logistic networks.
2. Have two unconnected logistic networks.
3. Add some task in logistic network A, eg. deconstruction.
4. Get not enough energy in Network A and enough energy in Network B

Actual: All robots are returned to the roboports, but to Network B and never return to NEtwork A, because there are not connected. Network A lost all of the robots as it was called by not connected roboports
Expected: I think it should behave same as with personal roboports, where they are flying in the place around and not recharging, same when robots are waiting for charging.

Is there any range when robots are returned to different network in case there is no energy in current network? I don't want to run again and again to get robots back. I understand, I need to fix current network:-)
