Do logistic robots work on space platforms?

[GingerCyclops]

I cannot find this answer anywhere online, would like to know before I start shipped roboports and bots up into space. I got a couple cool ideas for sushi belt + logistic ships.

Nope.

Thanks for the quick reply, I wish they did work :/, but i understand the dev wanting us to experiment with sushi belts now that they're much easier

Yeah there's a few hard limits to what can't go up there. Logistics is the big one. But another you'll not want to be surprised by is you can't put containers up there either.

Trains also sadly. Why would you want trains in space? Well... I like trains. I'm guessing the devs couldn't figure out how to nerf train wagons, much like containers. It does make for interesting challenges though.

For future items look at the "Construction Surface Conditions" at the very bottom. Any restrictions will be listed there. If there is nothing listed, there is no restriction. So for robots we have:

Roboport: Pressure; Greater than or equal to 10 hPa. - Space doesn't have pressure.
Logistics Chest: Gravity: Greater than or eaqual to .1 m/s - Space doesn't have gravity.

As a reminder you can find out what each Planet/Area has by looking the Factoriopedia for that Planet/Area. Space platform has all the information for Space.

Building restrictions
Some buildings can not be built on space platforms:

-Chests can't be built in space. The main storage device is the platform hub.
-Robots and roboports don't function in space, and no railway items can be built.
-Burner devices can't be built in space. According to FFF-381, this is to add "a bit of realism as there's no atmosphere in space".
-Advanced buildings that require certain surface conditions can't be built on the platform, such as the biochamber and biolabs. This is the same as for any other surface.

Electric poles can be built, but the global electric network covering the entire platform powers all devices. As such, electric poles are only useful as a way to wire together distant entities.

Are you the one making those train comments in Dyson sphere?
