Description
Your Distribution Complex describes the collection of structures on your 48 x 48 block Distribution Plot. Over the course of the Challenge, your team will construct Technology Level 1-8 warehouses, Utility Buildings and structure improvements (Wi-Fi hot-spots, signage etc.) to increase the Robot Population Capacity of your Complex and the Efficiency of your robots. As you construct additional Warehousing, more Polycraft World Delivery Bots you will able to accommodate, deliver essential goods to the population in need and retrieve raw materials. Autonomous Delivery Robots will available each Minecraft day at 10 AM based on the number of valid charging stations in your Distribution Complex. More advanced warehouses are able to hold more charging stations and be built with increasing numbers of stories to increase your robot population capacity.
To "merely" upgrade your Distribution Complex to Technology Level 4, (or 8 for the likely BEST Champion teams), you do not need to be concerned about your Robots' efficiency. However, this will have a big effect on your final score. As you engineer your distribution complex and unlock new Utility Buildings, you must be creative in your civil engineering to position structures for maximum utility to increase your utility score and bolster each Robot's efficiency (GLC). It is likely that winning teams will use advanced Power Tools to rapidly tear down and renovate structures as the teams progress through different Technology Level.
- Your Distribution Complex must be built on your Distribution Plot located on your team's unique Island Distribution Nexus.
- Your Distribution Complex will consist of Warehousing at different Technology Levels enabling increasing Robot Population Capacity per structure.
- As you increase the size of your Distribution Complex, delivery bots will be available and become industrious helpers.
- Your Distribution Complex should contain Central Receiving with at least one Supply Chest to reap the rewards of your hardworking Robots during their production phase.
- Your Distribution Complex should contain Utility Buildings that improve Utility Access of your Robots to keep them more efficient.
- Your Distribution Complex warehouses should be improved with certain items to also improve Robot Efficiency. The Wi-Fi hot-spots and signage will help the robots locate their current position, their assigned goods and path plan complex delivery routes.
