Description[ | ]
The Robotic Drone is an optional Robotic Assistant that with the appropriate Mods will provide health to your character when HP has lowered below a certain point. Other Mods allow Stamina Regeneration for your character, Lighting, Durability to protect your Drone from damage, and extra Storage. Robotic Drone has Tiers of Quality which depend on your ability to craft at high levels or can be bypassed by paying Traders for a high Quality Robotic Drone. The Robotic Drone was introduced in Alpha 20 Experimental.
To deploy the Robotic Drone: place it in your Toolbelt, then select it. Point your crosshair somewhere then Place. A placement silhouette for the drone will appear, red for invalid placement and green for valid placement. Place again to put it into the world.
