Guide

Screen Bots are assembled sales items designed specifically for galactic trade or to fulfill sales objectives. Their production relies on several intermediate components, making them a later-stage product in most factory setups.

A key friction point in producing Screen Bots is the consistent supply of Glass, which often becomes the limiting factor in their assembly. If Glass production lags, overall Screen Bot output will quickly stall.

Another common challenge is managing surplus. When sales demand does not keep pace with production, Screen Bots can accumulate and clog storage or logistics lines, requiring ongoing attention to balance output and demand.

Tips

• Keep a close watch on your Glass production and logistics, as shortages here will directly bottleneck Screen Bot assembly lines.
• Scale up your sales pad infrastructure to ensure it can handle the throughput of Screen Bots, preventing backlogs at the point of sale.
• Prepare storage buffers or automated disposal solutions for excess Screen Bots in case your sales rate drops below production, avoiding line jams and wasted resources.

FAQ

Is there a way to automate or optimize the disposal of surplus Screen Bots?

Yes, you can automate surplus disposal by routing excess Screen Bots to a dedicated storage buffer or directly to a Resource Sink if available. Setting up smart logistics filters or overflow belts ensures production lines stay clear even when sales demand drops.

Why do Screen Bots require more sales pads than other bots?

Screen Bots often have a slower sales rate per pad compared to some other bot types, which means you may need to dedicate additional sales pads to keep up with production and avoid backlogs.

Are there upgrades or newer models that replace Screen Bots?

Later in progression, you may unlock advanced sales bots or higher-tier items that can take over the sales role of Screen Bots. Check your available research and sales objectives for potential replacements suited to your current stage.
