PLS Remove Health Packs

[TacticalBitz]

Either remove heath packs from caves. Or at least make it so drones with full health ignore them. At the moment all they do is waste drone fuel. Better drone controls in general would be nice. Stuff like tell them to return home and drop loot where we want them to.

No! Please don't.

That could be a welcome feature but it shouldn't be relied on to fix player's mistakes.

They don't waste fuel. Ya, you use fuel on the Health Pack BUT anytime you're on a Health Pack you get MORE fuel then you used while on it. You also get health (it is a health pack).

Better drone controls in general would be nice. Stuff like tell them to return home and drop loot where we want them to.

And there would go any challenge to clearing the rewards in a cave.

Will have to test the gain fuel from HPacks. Looked like it was draining (perhaps bug). Will test more next chance I get.

[TacticalBitz]

So tested it out. It does drain but you gain after it picks up. Sadly you only gain 2-3 fuel, but at least no lose. Would still like to see some sort of basic commands added for them. Would add some strategy to the caves. Instead of the current RNG based risk reward system it is atm.

I get 10. It must be level based in some way.

If you don't have a plan (strategy) on how, when & which drone to use and when to go to plan B, you deserve to get RNG based results.

1. I'll send an aerial drone (level 4) toward the right side far enough to "see" all the remaining chambers. I'll pick a cave branch to maximize this. 3 cave chambers are as far as it "sees". It also exposes rewards and hazards within it's range on other branches.

2. I'll send basic drones (level 4) to the end chamber on branches with 4 or more chambers that branch off from the path of the aerial drone. Starting with the rightmost* and working left.
*Time can also be a factor, so get the furthest rewards first.

3. If it won't draw a reward onto a hazard and there are enough rewards in it's path to be worthwhile, I'll send a magnetic drone (level 4) to the rightmost chamber that I can draw rewards to.

4. If there is a worthwhile path to deploy a mag drone on but a reward(s) will be drawn onto a hazard(s), send a basic drone to retrieve the reward and then send the mag drone (if it's still a worthwhile path).

5. Know how much fuel different type drones use to go from chamber to chamber. (If you know a drone carrying rewards will run out of fuel before it returns to base (RTB) you can plan on how much fuel you need to reserve for whatever drone(s) you'll need to recover them.

6. Know how much time your drones use to go from one chamber to the next. If your doing more than playing Mr. Mine, when you come back to the cave you'll know how far you can send a drone and still have time to recover it.

It's important to level up your drones.

The Healing drone can be useful but not often.

here is the code for it here is the code for it[cdn.discordapp.com](heal amount is equal too 10) what this amounts to is it adds 5 hp worth of healing when 10 nodes away from the start of the cave

HEALT PACK GIVE YOU SOME SMALL FUEL ! YOU NO SEE ??? ONLY LOST SOME TIME BUT FOR SMALL RECHARGE

[Lost Question]

here's a better idea health pack stop results also give a full fuel refill (or at least half refill)

Stop which results? It's not clear what you want to stop.

...also give a full fuel refill (or at least half refill)

Just no.
