The Robotic Drone is a deployable item that serves as a helpful companion to the player. It can assist in combat, carry extra items, and even provide healing support. This versatile tool enhances the player's survivability and efficiency in the post-apocalyptic world.
Deployment
To deploy the Robotic Drone, place it in your Toolbelt, then use right-click to begin the placement process. A placement silhouette for the drone will appear: red for invalid placement and green for valid placement. Right-click again to place it into the world. The drone will follow you and provide support based on the installed mods.
Interacting
Facing a Robotic Drone will display "Press (E) to talk to Robotic Drone". Press E to access the Talk option. Press and hold E to access the drone's full radial menu options:
Talk - Using this option will bring up the drone dialog options:
- May I see your inventory?
- Stay Here. / Follow me.
- Nevermind.
Lock/Unlock - Sets/removes the locked status. An unlocked drone can be opened by any player. A locked drone can only be opened by players who have previously entered the current access code. If locked and no access code has been set, only its owner is able to access and unlock it.
Enter Code: Allows the owner of the Robotic Drone to set/change the access code.
Take - This option will place the Robotic Drone into your player Inventory.
Stay Here / Follow Me - This option will force the Robotic Drone to stay in place until it is told to follow your character once again.
Storage - This option will show the default storage which is limited to 16 slots but can be expanded with the Robotic Drone Cargo Mod.
Quiet Mode - This option will make the Robotic Drone silent (not speaking) giving the player some peace and quiet. The Robotic Drone will act as usual with assisting the player with aid but will not give any verbal warnings until it is turned on again.
Flashlight - This option only appears when the Robotic Headlamp Mod is installed. Using this option allows for extra lighting from the Drone.
