Description:

Compatible with Picards update (Space Race, Green Planet and Below&Beyond DLC’s)

Large Drone Station (a remote usage Drone Hub), 3 Hex Building
Slightly smaller than a Drone Hub but larger than a Recharge Station

Costs;

• 6 Concrete
• 9 Metals
• 4 Polymers
• 2 Electronics

Maintenance;
1 Electronics, but deteriorates slowly
The ‘Autonomous Hubs’ breakthrough will eliminate maintenance, like any standard Drone Hub

Provides;
10 power when open/on
Drone Command Range within 12 hexes
Initial Drones on build (see below)

Includes 6 different coloured variations and it should respect Colony Colour Schemes

Can be turned on/off individually or en masse

It has been designed for use at small remote outposts/situations (like the countless amount of Seed Spreaders you might want) or for smaller controlled drone work like shuffling waste rock around, or as an extra task manager in a small radius so you can use it to satisfy local demands with its drones whilst your major hubs organise shuffling resources across your Universal Depots..or to bridge that small gap/oversight in your drone network, instead of building another power guzzling, electric material munching drone hub… the bonus here is that it also that in provides 10 power for whatever remote thing it may be near (like a concrete extractor, concrete depot, waste rock pile setup in the far corners of the map)

Initially comes with 3 drones and can command up to 6
IF your sponsor is ‘SpaceY’ you will get an additional bonus drone (4 on build)
IF you have researched ‘Drone Swarm’ you will get an additonal bonus drone (4 on build) and max command is increased to 30 (same ratio as for standard Drone Hubs 20>100, or x5)
IF your sponsor is ‘SpaceY’ AND you have ‘Drone Swarm’ researched you will get 3 bonus drones (6 on build) as well as the max command increased to 30

Mod contains a fix for Drone Interactions with Drone Hubs and the attached Recharge Stations;
Drones will now use the other stations at the hub if it is available to charge, or queue at the nearest station of the hub selected

Mod contains a custom infopanel designed for the Large Drone Station which includes a version of SkiRich’s Toggle Work Zone, idea copied with permission
