Project RimFactory - Drones

This is a addon for Project RimFactoy it expands upon drone system in prf - core.

This Drone mod have a different approach than other drone mods, because it adds drone stations with multiple drone that can do more task than just one each station.

Drone station will send out a set ammount of drones to do task when needed, and they will go back to drone station and get "destroyed" and respawn when needed again, this makes them take up less performance when not in use.

Each Drone station can be set pretty high in drone count but please consider that each drone take up same performance as 1 pawn so 100 drones WILL properly lag your game.
So set ammount low if you having any problems.

We will try optimize drones as much as we can, but again this is a battle with RW pathfinding logic so its limited how much we can improve.

im able to run 100 drones same time in a new colony without too noticeable lag, but they may vary later game er other pc setups.

This mods currently adds 3 original Dronestations from old mod.
- Wild plant collector (PlantCutting, Growing)
- Caretaker drone station (haul, basic, clean, firefight)
- Construction drone station (Construction, mining)

They have been resized to 2x2 from 3x3.
and only hold upto 20 from 50 drones.
These changes have been made to help Performance and base designing.
You can build more dronestaions if want 50 drones again, but may impact your performance with 50 PAWNS extra instead of 20, keep in mind each drone takes more or less same amount of performance as a vanilla pawn does...
So if your struggle with performance maybe lower your amount of drones from 300 to less ;-)
