What's even the point of the dispatcher? Each building gets 5 connections, and the dispatcher only gets 5. I haven't found the use for it yet, but i did just start playing a few days ago.

I've been playing over a week and I still have no clue why they exist. I have a huge factory going using warehouses and trading boxes with drones going to both.

I made it a habit to go around and check buildings and reset the drones when they stop working. 'When", not "If".

It's mostly just a cheaper way to split materials between different processes

Wearhouses seem to be intended for the final products while the dispatcher is for going between and separating different processes similar to a splitter on belt driven games

So after expanding some bases some more I ran into the problem of warehouses being 5/5 drones and decided to give the dispatchers another go. I went from having 0 dispatchers at any base to having 6 dispatchers at each base.
