add a way to configure drone tasks

92 votes

it would be nice to have a way to reserve some drones for only building, repairing or logistics, either with a configurator, or as an ui.
if there's an ui for the drones, it would also be nice to see what they are doing/what's in their queue.
Exactly what i was thinking about right now, however I got one thing to ad to the suggestion: I would love to have the option to priorities certain ares to clean up for the robots. As of now they clean the floor that is closest to their current location?, what i imagine is the ability to have a brush tool or something else to say: Could you please clean up the floor around the ore-deposit first. It would especially be very helpful if an ore-deposit is faar away and you have to dig up lots off stone untill you get there.

I think it would be more simple to just have drones actually do the job that they're suppose do to, but with priorities...

Basic Drone Priorities: 1) Repair, 2) Dismantle, 3) Build, 4) Haul
Hauling Drones: 1) Haul Materials, 2) Haul Raw Ores/Ice/Regolith/Slag (in that order)
Mining Drones 1) Mine 2) It would be handy if they hauled regolith if not tasked with mining -- but still give the warning icon to assign miners)
