Drone Prioritisation

[Yandere]

Can someone explain how it works please? i have 200 T2 drones and i want to make their collection efficient.

Priority on storage etc goes from -1 to 5 where 5 is highest priority. Your drones will take from or fill boxes with higher priority and will only use the lower priority once the highest is full/empty.

You can place a shredder and give it a lower priority than all the other storage and it'll destroy any excess so miners etc don't fill up. Careful with this of course. Ideally you'd funnel the excess to some sort of production and send it off on a trade rocket.

I don't know if this is still true, but I read that drone tasks will not reset on new demand and supply. The drones will complete tasks before looking for new tasks.

I don't know if this is still the case. But you can still force a reset with a save and reload.
