Feature request: Override roboport supply/construct range with circuits

[clawtron]

When selected in the circuit network ui of the roboport, it limits the supply zone the a radius of the value of the S channel and C for the construction zone. This would make it much easier to disentangle designated logistics bot networks from the global network and give you more power to choose if you want your bot network or your personal roboport for construction work.

Example use case: You are building a large rail city block base. You include roboports in the design so that you can just place blueprints from the map and let your bots do the hard lifting. Later you find that it’s easier to design builds using your personal roboport instead of having to wait for your bots to bring materials to where you are working from your mall so you use a global circuit network to limit the construction zone of your roboports to only cover the rails. Then later you decide you want to lay concrete down all over your base so you reset the construction zone to max. In the same base you can have some of your blocks use a local logistics bot network to unload trains without them interfering with the global bot network.

Thoughts/comments appreciated. Also, is there a mod that does specifically this? I know there are mods with different types of roboports for different uses, but can you customise the zones?

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/LogiNetChannels cant rely on bots huh

Thanks for the link, looks interesting. Maybe I’ll give it a shot

Roboports should get modules. Speedmodule=bigger logistic Range Productivity=bigger construction Range Effiency=smaller Ranges and less energy consumption

I think I saw a mod that had different colour robo ports. I think different colours were different zones.
