Been using this mod whit no issues for 2 30+ hours play troughs ill be getting your revisions to day. Thank your for all your work.

Hello!

Thanx for a great mod, but I were wondering ... isnt the idle power usabe a tad on the high side? It is the same as a standard roboport, with its doors, underground hangars, etc... 200kw for a "glorified telephonepole" is abit much ... or?

I do realize that it might be abit OP to lower it substantially, and avoiding abuse, but something in the area of 50kw or so?

Edit:

I did apply some math:
the 'orange' part of the roboport is:
50*50 tiles = 2500 tiles

the 'orange' part of the robotower is:
20*20 tiles = 400 tiles

2500 / 400 = 6.25

i.e. you need 6.25 robotower to cover the area of a roboport.

200kw / 6.25 = 32kw ...

Then if you 'round up' to 35kw for an Idle tower, then you get a similar powerusage while covering the same area

Otherwise, great mod! Makes it WAY easier to fill in small gaps in the robocoverage

thanks, definitely a necessary for robo-freaks like me

I have 2 Roboports in my "foundry", ~50 stations placed in strategic places and 800 robots. It's working perfectly.

this good mod dues not work in 0.10.8

Steps to get it working in 0.10.8:
1. Extract the zip into your mods folder
2. Rename the RoboCharge folder to Robo-Charge_0.3.0
3. Go into Robo-Charge_0.3.0/prototypes/entity/RoboCharge.lua and change all (4) instances of __RoboCharge__ to __Robo-Charge__
4. Go into Robo-Charge_0.3.0/prototypes/item/RoboCharge.lua and change all (1) instances of __RoboCharge__ to __Robo-Charge__
5. Load Factorio and rejoice that the game and mod loads.

Hello,

Look´s like there is a bug in Robocharge 0.3 with Factorio 0.11.1, if i try to run it, i get;

Error while loading entity prototype "Robot-Charge-Station" (roboport): No such node (width)

My guess is this is because of the change in 0.11:

Changed the frame_width/frame_height properties of animation to width/height so it is the same as in sprite.

The fix is in this post: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =70#p50064

Braddock has been offline since 31 august, so I guess he won't fix this very fast. Unless someone will be faster than me, I'll upload a fixed version as soon as I've updated to 0.11(which I'm doing now)

Edit: I've made a 0.11 compatible update. Braddock is in no way responsible for the support for this version, don't bother him with problems if you do encounter problems while using this version. Although I might help you if you encounter problems with this version, I give no guarantee. All credit still goes to the original author, I merely fixed a (very) minor issue.
TL;DR: USE AT OWN RISK.

Thank you Gammro,

i just updated to 11.3 and with your Version 3.1 i get now a different error message:

Error while loading entity prototype "Robot-Charge-Station"(roboport): No such node (base_patch)

I've updated this for 0.11.3. Added the roboport prototype changes and update the migration script

i am running 11.1 with 3.2 and 3.3 and i get the same error of

Update to 11.3.

My solution to the problem(in my mod) was to ADD the new sections, maintaining compatability with earlier 0.11 versions. It looks like the bugfix version here replaced the old sections with the new.

oh ok thanks

can i add your mod to a modpack?

Thank you this mod works great. Gave it a try tonight.

from the wiki:

does it work with MP/is updated to .11.22?

The 0.3.2 Version posted by JamesOFarrell @ Page 3 of this Thread -> https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =20#p52445 work´s with 11.22
Multiplayer ? Well i didnt play Multiplayer. So i cannot say.

But i doubt, there will be anymore update´s, since Braddock has been offline since 31.08.2014 .
I woudt suggest another mod ( Bob's Logistics mod ) that well, add´s a bit more than just charging Station´s.
But i cannot say if that work´s with MP.

Ps: As long as you didnt add Bob´s Ore and/or Bob´s Metals, Chemicals and Intermediates, the other mod´s from Bob run fine with just the vanilla resources.
(or ad them if you wish a more expanded experience with more ore´s etc. etc.)

I'd like to stick with minimum solution, so I prefer robocharge over bob's mods. I'll check if it works on MP. Still, thanks for the info.

Working version for 0.12.x
