Tweak the speed and various power-related values of logistic and construction robots by global decimal multipliers.

What you can tweak:
- Energy capacity: Higher factor means robots can travel farther before needing to recharge, but take more time to recharge at roboports.
- Energy charging: Higher factor means robots recharge faster at roboports. Use this to compensate for larger energy capacities.
- Energy consumption: Lower factor makes robots consume less energy, making them able to fly farther before needing to recharge. (This almost serves the same purpose as the two options above combined, but with the difference that it will affect the total power consumption.)
- Speed: Higher factor means robots move faster, but will still consume the same amount of energy per meter, so it doesn't affect maximum travel distance.
- Approach distance: Lower factor makes robots wait closer to the roboport while queueing for recharge, leading to more time-efficient queueing and overall faster recharging.

All tweakable values are multiplicative. So, for example, a Speed factor of 2.0 will double the speed of all robots, while 0.5 will halve it.

All values default to 1.0 (no change). Tweak the values in the Startup tab in Settings > Mod Settings from the main menu.


As an example of settings, if you want the quality-of-life of having robots be able to fly farther before needing to recharge, without changing how much power they consume (perhaps combined with my other mod that increases the range of roboports), equally increase only Energy Capacity and Energy Charging.
