This mod is an attempt to make logistic robots more interesting and less of a magic omni-solution.

Roboports no longer project a massive logistic area, and instead must be connected to chests by strings of powered connectors. This doesn't change the bots' pathing at all, but the connectors create an extra constraint that hopefully makes bot/belt hybrid designs more interesting.

The reduction in logistic area unfortunately makes player logistic requests almost completely moot. There isn't really a way around this.

Currently only vanilla roboports and logistic bots are supported, and modded logistic chests that are larger than 1x1 won't be usable. If there is interest I'll look into supporting some popular mods.
