It doesn't work. The connection distance is still lower than logistics radius - the roboports are touching but not connecting.
What mods are you using? Are any other mods affecting your roboports?
The modding API doesn't allow the connection distance to be any shorter than the logistics radius; it will just give an error and stop you from even loading the game.
Also, the regular roboports don't have the logistics_connection_distance
variable assigned, which means they automatically calculate the distance to fit the logistics radius instead. So I need to know what exact type of roboports you're having the issue with, or if it's the regular ones, what mods you are using on them.
Are you sure you're multiplying connection distance by the same factor as logistics radius?
Yes, I'm using the exact same math. I even added a condition so that if logistics_connection_distance
is somehow still lower than the logistics radius, I just forcibly set it to the same value.
