Description
Drones in RC rover forgetting what they're doing
Drones being left behind by the rover

What is your game version?
227,923
228 722

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
*snip* tl;dr drones would stop what they were doing if the queue was too long, resolved now

new issue: when the rover is leaving, sometimes it'll leave behind drones, turning them orphaned an, I'm assuming, eventually destroying them if you don't un-orphan them. For example, my map has a high ground and a low ground, with the low ground shaped like "C" and the high ground like "-" inside the C. all of my drone hubs are at the C, I moved my rover to the far end of the - to gather surface metals, then recalled them back to base. the rover had 20 drones, but after recalling, it only had 16 drones, and 4 were left orphaned in the middle of nowhere. I eventually noticed and sent the rover back, but the drones seemed to have disappeared, and the rover still has 16. It's good to see the rover won't sit there forever if the drone don't respond, but now it seems it'll just leave them behind to die

Can you replicate the issue?
yes, simply fill an RC rover with drones (20 will practically guarantee it) and have the rover move a large distance with all drones outside or mine some metals.

yes, though it's much less frequent than the previous issue. simply fill an RC rover with 20 drones, and have them move around doing stuff. eventually the RC's drone count should drop

Seems to be fixed in the latest version. if it's still fine in a few days I'll change this to resolved resolved, but now there seems to be a new issue that's related

Came by to report this issue myself, it's very irritating, especially when you're running out of resources and drones keep dying left and right. In this state they stand there, don't move, won't respond to commands, can't be reassigned, recharged or picked up. The only thing they do is turn their lights on and off, and that's about it. I have several across the map unable to move.

Small edit: Win7 x64, version 228,722
