Big Logistic Robot


This new robot has the capacity of 4 logistic robots, 60% the speed, need 40% more charge time and has +50% damage resistance. Takes your items for longer without needing to charge.

i Add a downside to the big logistics robot

How it is now the big robot is vastly superior in every way' i would suggest to only make it only hold 4 times that of a regular bot and make it 60% the speed 40% more charge and 50% damage resistance' the reason being' how i think of it atleast is that the small bot should be used in transporting items between assembling machines across medium distances in swarms. The large bot should be used in transporting items between long distances' loading trains' high demand requester chests' and delivering supplies to the front line. I would also like a recipe overhaul because it's way too expensive for what it's worth' something like
4 logistic robots' 5 red circuits' 10 steel plates' 10 gears' and 1 stack filter inserter.

Hi Milkman, this seems more balanced! I make this changes and release now!! XD
See if its ok, or if i made some error... The configuration is a bit confusing... THANKS!!!

I made some tests and i think the stack size for the big logistics robot should be increased to 8x the capacity of the small logistics robot' because one swarm of small bots can deliver roughly 100 items per second' while a pack of big ones with the current settings can only deliver roughly 40 items per second' that's still allot but not comparable to the swarm of small ones.

I also want to emphasize use of the big bots charge by making a cheap range extender item that does not recharge bots' because the roboport doubles as a charging station and sets a square of influence for the bots to follow.

This range extender item would have the same sprite as the beacon and would be 5x5 it would have a logistics range of 80 and a construction range of 100.

Range extender recipe [1 Radar] [10 Steel plates] [10 iron gear wheels] And [5 electronic circuits]

I also think that the crafting time for the big robot should be increased from 0.5 - 12
