Mod for early logistics bots?

[computerking9979]

Are there any mods that give logistic bots early in the game?

Construction ones i know of. Not sure on logistics but used to be one that made early bots. they were weak or time limited or some thing.. i forget how balanced. Try mod portal.

Transport Drones

used to give you little gas-powered trucks that would ferry goods around on asphalt roads.

That was a fair, somewhat early way of logistics while still having some drawbacks. Also made for an interesting consideration in map construction.

Not sure if someone is updating it for 2.0. Or making a fork. Would love to see it be even more simulationist. Maybe with lanes, bigger vehicles and loading/unloading times. So you would have to fit width of roads to usage and have to work around traffic jams.

Never saw that one but now im very interested. The idea of roads and bots... makes it feel more alive i would think. Heck id set some up just to make factory look like a city.. oh now thinking about "houses...

Logistics drones, I don't recall any. Logistics depends very much on the logistic network and storage, which is not early game.

Construction drones a few versions but I am waiting and hoping that someone will update the cubic land based drones originally by Klonan. The flying drones all seem a bit overpowered and cheaty, but I am having to use them for the moment.

Search the mod portal.

Ya, I searched the mod portal before coming here but didn't see anything that fir what I was looking for.

On the Mod Portal, make sure you set it to only show version 2.0. By default it still shows 1.1. There are many mods already updated. Use the words 'early start' in the search.
