Magnetic Drone

I wondered if it would be possible for them to drag items on adjacents tiles but without restriction. Currecntly items can only be dragged closer to the entrance but supposing a tile is safe past the stuck loots, ordering a magnetic drone to drag to that specific tile should be possible.

If I understand you correctly, you want to be able to choose in which direction to pull the loot.

There's no need to pull the loot away from the entrance if tile closer to the entrance wasn't a hazard but if you had loot stuck on a hazard and the tile closer to the entrance is also a hazard this would be very helpful.

You might never have to use healing bot to keep a magnetic bot alive long enough to pull the loot off of one hazard and onto another.
And it would save a ton of fuel and the time needed to accumulate it.

Other than making caves easier than maybe they're supposed to be, it's a good idea.

Depending on how far away the loot is and if it's a lava hazard, use the copter bot. It can hover over the lava and not die. Not a viable solution for rad hazards.

I had the "nice" fortune of having 1x lava + 3x radiation in a row, very close to the cave-entrance..... yeah nope, not even gonna bother with that ♥♥♥♥ cave

Lava isn't an issue with aerial drones. But in rare occasions where you have like 4 rads following each other any stack of loot dropped there asusming it has 3+ is has good as gone. Thus the idea of using a safe branch to retrive items from such situations.

Anyways I just realized that a single drone speed relic is enough for me to clear any type of cave without runnig out of fuel on regular drones so I won't have this issue anymore.
