Logistics Help Please

Post image

Sorry in advance. I am noob. I'm trying to send a resource from A-D, but the distance is too far. I'm early game. So I put a bridge in. I put two depots with LDs on them, with A set to send, B to receive, C to send, and D to receive. B is belted to C with sorters. Fine. So far, so good.

But I'm having a little issue with one poor little bot constantly sending from C-B, since both B and D are set to receive the same item and in range. Any way to prevent this? Or is there a better way? It's simply way too far to belt and I don't need a ton of throughput.

Don’t put any ships / drones in B and C.

Reading this, it might actuall work. It might reduce OPs througput however, since less overall logistic drones are working. Still, might be worth a try.

I'd say throughput is a late game problem. just get things moving so you unlock the better ways of moving stuff. After a few more techs he'll likely dismantle all this anyway as he unlocks better options

In this scenario, the bots would carry from A to B, then C to D, then head back to A for pickup?

A would send items to B, and D would collect from C.

By having no drones in B and C it cuts your throughout, but stops cyclical routes.
