It's also pretty common to not use Water Extractors, since Vaporators don't require the attention of drones and just require the odd couple of metal to keep operating, it's often just not really worthwhile exploiting Very Low or Low Quality water deposits because of the drone time they take up and their habit of not working if the Drones go stupid or have better things to do. With appropriate placement of Commanders you shouldn't have issues with drones hauling waste rock excessive distances. I tend to buy at least a couple of RC Commanders even for a poor sponsor, then my third Drone Controller would probably be a Drone Hub for its larger radius. Generally skilled players go with RC Commanders in the early game because they don't use electronics maintenance and you can relocate them to accelerate construction of domes and stuff, you can also park them in dust radius of extractors and send them out into the world to do tasks like landscape a ramp or rescue a damaged Explorer. This gives filmmakers an opportunity to capture videos for a longer duration. It has a helicopter design and the fact that it has longer endurance in flight, makes it ideal for the outdoors. However they won't work outside of the radius of their drone controller, like if you have a single drop hub, and on either sides of the drone hub's radius are extractors, you can have drones doing the waste rock haul of shame across the entire radius to bring waste rock to a pile on the other side, they're not always going to do it but sometimes they are because they prefer to complete waste rock mini-piles over starting a new one.īut if you manipulate radiuses so that far apart extractors aren't sharing a controller then it's completely not a problem because drones have no access to waste rock piles they shouldn't go to. In case you are looking to save on cash as well as energy, then you can purchase the single rotor drone at your nearest drone store UK. Drones are pretty stupid when it comes to shuttling waste rock across the base to a far away pile of waste rock.
