Drones of War
Ever wish you could have some variety with your battle drones? Now you can!
Guardians DLC and SAD_CommonLib mod required!
This mod will allow you to deploy improved/varied types of battle drones to assist with your base’s automated defenses.
Note, however, that this comes at a cost. These require additional research with additional prerequisites, higher costs to build and repair, and also more power to run to keep them balanced.
Pulse cannon drones were deliberately left out as they’re already pretty OP in the game as is.
These new drones are available under a new sub-menu in Defense.
If you have any suggestions on how to resolve the items in the To Do list, or have feedback on bugs or balance, please post them in the comments!
