The grids of robo ports and substations don’t match up. I’m always overlapping one on the other at some point. I figure there are 3 options
-
don’t match grids, just maximize each grid separately and have defects here and there.
-
use the substations as the base grid and match ports to it.
-
use the ports as base grid and match substations to it.
I’m leaning towards #2.
Also worth thinking about, higher quality substations/ roboports. Changes the ranges, could make them line up better
I don’t think quality affects roboport range, just the robot charging stats.
Subatations range is affected. My bad on robos
Make a grid aligned blueprint and make it symmetrical. A extra power pole in the middle won’t kill anyone.
Higher quality substations have more range and could be more satisfying
You want to minimize robo ports as they have a constant power draw, power poles dont, so better to have extra power poles
Honestly, I do neither. I have tried all 3 ways and some builds do not work when you align them to an external grid.
