How robots work
| Rule | Fact |
|---|---|
| Work area | A robot vacuum cleans the world hexes round its dock: Robot vacuum Mk I 2 rings, 19 hexes; Robot vacuum Mk II 3 rings, 37 hexes. World hexes are the Moon's cleaning regions. |
| J.O.O.N.A.S. | Not tied to an area: it goes to the nearest hex that is still dusty and fires its dust in 20 kg capsules at the nearest capsule catcher. With no capsule catcher built it waits with a full bin. |
| Bin full | A robot vacuum heads home when its bin holds 98% of its capacity. |
| Dock | The dock packs the dust into capsules of up to 1 kg onto a belt. |
| Robot panel | Opens when you aim at a dock from up to 4 m away (J.O.O.N.A.S.: 12 m). |
| Placing | Robot docks and J.O.O.N.A.S. can be placed on ground that has not been cleaned. |
