Py Mini Construction Ports


Adds compact 2x2 copies of the Pyanodons Construction Zone Extenders (MK01-MK04). They upgrade in place into each other, have a small logistic radius, a large construction radius, and multiple fast charging slots so robots can recharge across a large base. Also includes 4 tiers of Drone recharging.

Beta. Small QoL addon for Pyanodons. Works in my base; feedback welcome.

Adds 2x2 versions of the Py Construction Zone Extenders (MK01–MK04), meant for
running a base-wide construction network through rail/power corridors while
keeping logistics local to each block.

  • 2x2 footprint, upgrade in place MK01 → MK04 (upgrade planner works)
  • Small logistics radius (default 7) and the same connection distance on every tier,
    so upgrading never creates new network links
  • Construction radius 60 / 100 / 150 / 300 (defaults)
  • 4 charging slots each, at Py's per-tier charging power
  • Green tint to tell them apart from the originals
  • Recipes and unlock techs mirror the Py originals (each tier uses the previous 2x2 tier)

Also adds Recharge Station MK02–MK04 as upgrades of Py's Recharge Station:

  • Same 3x3 footprint and tiny radii as Py's station (no logistics area, no robot slots),
    so you can add charging without growing the network; upgrade in place from Py's MK01
  • 8 charging slots at 1 / 1.57 / 2.2 MW (Py MK01: 6 × 0.5 MW), scaled like the py-roboport tiers
  • Colored red / blue / purple like the py-roboport tiers
  • MK02/MK03 recipes = py-roboport MK02/MK03 upgrade recipe, MK04 = ZE MK04 upgrade recipe,
    each starting from the previous station; same unlock techs

All 2x2 port radii, connection distance, charging slots and tint are startup settings.

Note: the original Py extenders have large connection distances (60–120), so placing
them near these will merge networks.
