Guide

Operator Bot is a sales item assembled in 20 seconds. The recipe leans on circuit boards and their upstream parts, so a sales push shows up as an electronics shortage before it shows up as a missing assembler.

Players build them for contracts and station sales, not as a part that feeds another craft. Size the line to the quota instead of mirroring a Light Bot mall.

Stack size is 10. Keep finished bots off the assembler so a sales burst does not jam the output slot.

Tips

• Prepare for a significant strain on your circuit board and subcomponent lines, as Operator Bot production will quickly reveal any weaknesses in your upstream electronics supply.
• If your goal is limited to sales, consider producing Operator Bots at a smaller scale to avoid overcommitting resources that could be used elsewhere in your factory.
• If sales are the only sink, do not starve CPU or circuit lines that also feed Science Pack V and other bots.

FAQ

Why does Operator Bot production feel more expensive than other sales bots?

The assembler recipe wants circuit boards plus their subcomponents. A large Operator Bot quota will stall on electronics long before it stalls on the 20 second craft time.
