The Drone is a miniature bot chassis which operates from Drone ports.
Drones fulfill orders within the Logistics Network, similar to other Bots. Their advantage is the ability to travel over obstructions such as terrain and buildings, enabling them to service tightly packed factories more effectively than ground Bots and wider areas than Portable Transporters. Their disadvantages are their limited carrying capacity per bot, requiring many drones to service high activity factories, and their limited operating range from their home port.
Players first acquire drones in packaged form, manufactured at a Robotics Assembler. The item must then be delivered to their home unit and placed within Drone Inventory slots (two on a Drone Port, six on a Drone Launcher), at which point they will unpack and begin service. A Drone can also be returned to a package by right-clicking its spot on the Drone Inventory and clicking "Repack Drone" or by dragging it into an inventory slot.
