Portable Transporter

Portable Transporter
Enables automatic transfer of inventory directly between any adjacent Buildings or Units Lua ID c_portablecrane Size Internal Range 1 tiles

The Portable Transporter is an Internal-sized component. It allows units to automatically transfer items to and from adjacent inventories.

Portable Transporters have an area of effect of one space around the equipping unit. Other units within that space can have their Logistics Network orders fulfilled by the Transporter-equipped unit, provided both the provider and acceptor are within the Transporter's work area.

Placing a Portable Transporter on a building allows it to move items to and from adjacent buildings, units and empty spaces. Because larger buildings have larger perimeters, players can create compact, automated factories by surrounding a larger "hub" building with many smaller buildings.

Combined with use of behaviors and register links, the Portable Transporter can be one of the most influential technologies in a player's base.

Tips:

• Despite being "portable" this component doesn't have any real use on bots, given they can already move items around adjacent units.
