Robots on Strike? Why Your Factorio Bots Aren't Filling Chests (and How to Fix It!)

Frustrated that your adorable Factorio robots are buzzing around like confused bees instead of diligently filling your chests? You're not alone! It's a common issue, and often stems from a few simple causes.

First, **check the logistic network coverage.** Are your chests and the areas needing items within the green or orange zones? If not, the bots can't reach them. Use roboports strategically to expand coverage.

Second, **ensure the chest is requesting the items.** Passive provider chests are for storage *only*. Make sure you're using requestor chests and that they're configured to request the correct items and amounts.

Third, **logistics slots matter!** If a chest is full, or only has logistics slots dedicated to other items, the robots won't be able to put anything new in. Check the chest's configuration and available space.

Finally, **resource availability.** Do you actually *have* the items in your logistic network for the bots to deliver? A quick scan of your storage should reveal any shortages.

By troubleshooting these four key areas, you'll have your bots back to work in no time, ensuring your factory runs smoothly and efficiently. Happy automating!
