Allows construction bots to work from your inventory. The personal roboport MK2 supports significantly more robots than the personal roboport (25, versus 10 for the Mk1), a larger construction area (40×40 rather than 30×30), and extra charging ports (4 instead of 2). Inserting multiple of either roboport into the player's modular armor increases the number of supported robots, size of construction area and number of charging ports on a linear scale.

Just like other robots, if a personal robot runs out of energy it will reduce its speed but continue its attempt to catch up with the player. Also like the previous personal roboport, it can be toggled on or off via a button in the shortcut bar. The roboport's internal energy buffer must be 20% full to allow construction robots to deploy.

Scaling Personal roboport MK2

Equipped Roboports	Available Robots	Construction Area	Charging Stations
1	25	40×40	4
2	50	57×57	8
3	75	69×69	12
4	100	80×80	16
5	125	89×89	20
6	150	98×98	24
7	175	106×106	28
8	200	113×113	32
9	225	120×120	36

The formula for calculating the construction area is 2*sqrt(sum(construction_radius^2)). For example, 2 Mk2 roboports: 2*sqrt(20*20 + 20*20) = 56.568542495, ie. 57x57.
