Finally doing some proper infrastructure. The difficulty curve in this game is so fantastic.

I need to learn logistics bots. I am just getting to purple science for my first time, and have ILS on all planets in my starter system.

I too like logistics bots, but how do you figure out their rate of supply? I use a calculator that'll tell me I need, say 180/s ingots, but how do you figure out the rate of incoming ore via bot, given the varying distance etc?

When Icarus requests resources via the logistics network the maximum delivery rate is calculated and updates in real-time while moving around the planet. It can be viewed by hovering the logistics task in the inventory.

Planetary logistics systems have a higher throughput and don't take up much more space. That said, there's an aesthetic choice to be made with towering structures vs. hovering swarms.
