Multiple drone commands and auto resource allocation

[Ramses82]

Hi! I am enjoying the game a lot.
There are a couple of things mainly that I am not really happy, one in particular.

When starting to develop larger in the maps, using new drone hubs, drones will manage resources only within the hub area. so if for example a part of the map has been allocated to extract precious metals, drones will only use local deposits to stock it and won't transfer the goods to other parts where required.
You will find yourself spending most of the gaming time transporting metal, concrete and other resources manually from one part to the other to get it where required. Surely different drone hubs should communicate and share resources?

Also, I might be missing this bit, but is it possible to control multiple drones and ask them to perform all a task? I can't find that... so when scavaging metal on surface, I have to command every single drone to dig, and then they all move away and have to command again one by one.

There are other few things, but these 2 for now come to mind, the first being a real pain.

Let me know
Alex

Nothing?

This is related to another request I upvoted, but I'll do the same here. More tools to create routes and better distribute resources *automatically* would make the gameplay much more palatable.

As it is, I'm spending about 60-70% of my playing time shepherding haulers across the landscape. They fail to follow tunnels and are generally dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to spreading resources around intelligently. Shuttles transport, but I fail to see them respond to needs like repairs. They'll only shift resources around when you're building something. That's silly.

You can play with drone & tell them to do this & that...mission one by one... mission 1 go to hold this (work also outside the circle) ; mission 2, now hold it to the depot.. as for example... then we may ask to get the same tool for them as for transport vehicle... but drones have low battery overall and need their controller. I actually like how it is,

Mostly you have to well placed that controller if rover for example,
...or depot stuff near the drone network....
and play with that distance allowed for drones to work.
