Companion Drones - Luan Fork
Maintenance fork of Companion Drones Gadgetroch 3.2.0 for Factorio 2.1.
Version 3.2.1 fixes LuaItemPrototype doesn't contain key fuel_category when placing or refueling a drone. It uses the Factorio 2.1 fuel_categories list and preserves the existing best/worst fuel preference. The /companion command and upstream gameplay remain available.
Switching from another fork
Back up your save. While the previous fork is still enabled, mine your existing companion drones into your inventory. Disable that fork and enable this one together before loading the save; do not save in between with neither mod enabled. Place the drones again to register their owners with this fork. Item, entity, equipment, and setting names are preserved, but script storage belongs to each mod separately. Only one Companion Drones fork can be enabled at a time.
