Is there a way to get robots out of logistic storage and into a roboport

[Yupa]

So, situation is I will travel to a planet and have all my construction robots in personal roboport. When I go to leave the planet I'll just throw everything in storage forgetting to place my my bots into roboports and instead they just end up in logistic storage.

I'm losing my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mind that I can't figure out if theres a way to just get my logistic robots that are members of the logistic network and not stored in the network to grab robots that are stored in logistic storage and move them into a roboport so they can become members of the network.

I thought the obvious solution was to just have a roboport request for bots, but that only requests from other roboports, not from logistic storage.

In the general case, use a requester chest placed by the roboport to 'collect' the bots and an inserter to move them into the roboport. In your specific case, on each planet have a pair of storage chests with filters set to con bots in one and logi bots in the other, and they'll get what you dump and add them to the roboport with inserters.
A third option is to not do that. When you return you're gonna need them back in your personal roboport anyway. Still use the storage chests with filters to collect them, but keep those by the landing pad. You can still dump them from anywhere in the same network and they'll be moved to those chests by the system. Next time you land they'll be right there and nearly instantly be inserted into your personal inventory if you have a logistics request for them.

damn, I was just kinda hoping there was a way to do it remotely that I was missing. I had something I needed to fix on Fulgora, but didn't have any available construction robots for the aforementioned reason, so I'm basically stuck in the situation of needing construction bots to build the things I need to get the construction bots out of storage. Frustrating. I've done this to myself like 3 seperate times and each time I tell myself I'm going to make sure I put the bots back in the roboport... and then I don't...

If you have a tank with construction robots in it you can use the tank remotely to build what you need. I had a similar situation to you. Why let the construction robots in my personal inventory sit idle when I left the planet? I drove the tank around to build and built with my personal robots. When I was ready to leave the planet I stored my personal robots in the tank's inventory so I could still build remotely and the bots were still outside the net work and i could grab them to use if I returned to Fulgora.

Open a roboport and set the bots you want to import to the network into the request list. Just make sure to disable it after or it will just keep automatically putting any new bots of that type directly into the network if they are stored while it is enabled.

That's not working like you think it does...

Probably not but I can't read or write anyway.
