Logistics robots not delivering

[scrungo beepis, lizard supreme]

I use logistics robots to deliver the materials to my low density structure assemblers via a requester chest. I have idle robots but they won't take the copper from the passive provider chest filled with copper to the requester chest by the rocket silo.

Increase the requester chest requested amount and more drones will get to work on it

Check the logistic network distance to the requester chest.

Another posibility is that they are waiting around at a roboport to get recharged (This happens when roboports have a ton of bots to recharge at once)

Ah, I just realized the provider chest is one tile outside of the logistics area. Thanks!

Since this is discussed here, I just wanna ask, what are the differences with all four of the chests? How to use them?

Storage, passive, requester and provider chest.

Storage, passive, requester and provider chest.

Storage only gets things the bots can't dispose of elsewhere, it's basically saying "Oh I'm the place to put stuff you can't put elsewhere but need to get rid of", drones holding items that get their jobs taken prematurely will drop off there, construction bots will drop off deconstructed items, and active provider chests will drop items there (iirc) as long as those items aren't being requested elsewhere

Passive is arguably what you want to supply your system, items only get taken out if there is a demand for them in the system (From player or requester chests)

Active provider will try to get rid of it's items, it has higher pickup priority that passive and will deposit into storage chests unlike passive

Requester chest are pretty straight forward, they just request stuff from the system
