Hi there! I love the little fellows. I've got a question though, they only work with the player, not e.g. when you put them in a Spidertron, right? Would it be possible to enable this? That might seem a bit odd since when you already have Spidertrons, why would you bother with the drones; but I'm on a modded planet now where the bots are highly inefficient because they drain power very fast, so the drones would be a solution (put them in a Spidertron and walk around constructing things). Or, for that matter, putting them into roboports. What do you think?
Thanks for reading!

The drones should still work while you're in a vehicle, including the spidertron
But a roboport isn't doable because of the amount of coding it would take to support that, if it's even possible.

It should be possible.. The mod originally had special roboports for them that worked just like vanilla roboports. You can even see it in the picture.. Im waiting for years now, that someone brings it back.. But no luck yet, sadly..

I just found the changelog post that removed this functionality: https://prnt.sc/ouYFZvrb47uS
its the oldest entry in the original mod. you can even download older versions than that to see how he did it.

Sorry. That's not something I'm interested in implementing.
If it existed and was removed, I'm sure there was a good reason for it.

alright, good to know. so ig i have to keep waiting for someone who makes a fork that adds those back in..
