This mod is for people who love fighting biters with drones, but hate having to manually throw their capsules.
This mod will automatically deploy the right amount capsules based on how many enemies are in visibility range.
Now you can completely focus on the battle!

For a quick overview you can watch the following mod highlight video on YouTube by JD-Plays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhDUvHGGd08

This mod will activate when

• You have the "[Destroyer/Defender/Distractor] Launcher" equipment in your power armor
• You have enough capsules in your inventory (20+)
• There are biters within visibility range (30 tiles)
• Your current follower count is running below the target

Features include

• New technology & power armor equipment
• Automatic and instantaneous deployment of destroyer, defender or distractor drones
• Target amount of drones based on simple biter weight function
• Will keep your follower count at the desired target, with minimal wastage of capsules
• Will consume capsules from the following inventories: vehicle trunk and main inventory (in that order, if available)
• Will warn you if it used your last capsules (up to a lower limit). This gives you time to retreat and restock.
• Custom deploy patterns, just for fun.

In-game settings include

• Aggression factor: determines how many drones are deployed depending on the enemies around the player
• Minimum amount of capsules remaining: when should auto deploy stop (defaults to 20 capsules)
• Maximum accepted "wastage" of capsules: if the mod should wait until you need 5 more drones (1 capsule) to deploy that capsule (or if 4, 3 etc. is also acceptable). Configured as a whole number, that defaults to 1; meaning a capsule will be deployed when 4 more drones are needed. Default totals per capsule are 5 for Destroyers, 3 for Distractors and 1 for Defenders.
• Strict Launcher: if a Destroyer launcher should only launch destroyers, or also previous bot types. Same for Defender and Distractor. Priority for 'previous' is Destroyer -> Defender -> Distractor.
• ... see the in-game "mod settings" menu for more!
