Drone Hub

Drone Hub is a Infrastructure building in Surviving Mars.

Description
Controls Drones and allocates them to different tasks.

Strategy
The Inventor commander profile provides the autonomous hubs bonus tech. Drone hubs with this bonus tech no longer require power or maintenance to operate.

Drone Actions
The Drone Hub will direct the Drones under its control to move resources around between storage locations, construction sites and will pick up resources that are just lying on the ground.


 * The drones seem prioritise getting materials to construction sites.
 * Drones will deliver resources in a balanced manner to construction sites. If you want a single construction to be prioritized, then wait until it is finished before building the next.
 * For any single resource the Hub will try to balance the number of resources across the storage locations based on the minimum requested setting, once this setting has been reached however, no further balancing is carried out.
 * If Drone Hubs are set up in a chain with storage locations at the overlap of the hubs, and all the minimum requested setting values set to the same value, then the first storage location will get to the minimum and the next will get to the minimum -1 and then next minimum -3, etc.
 * If a Drone has been told to pick a resource, then it is already marked as removed and other drones may try to replace it if it drops below the minimum requested setting.
 * Emptying Rockets for expeditions seems to have the lowest priority.
