Drones? :)

[tim.sa5]

When will there be drones to manage my farm automatic?
My farm is so big that i dont have that much time to feed my slimes and manage their Plorts.
Would be nice to get drones like in sr1. :)

If I had to guess, I would give it another year or so. But I wouldn't think too much about automation since slimes don't die and you need the plorts mainly for newbucks to get more areas for even more plorts - aesthetics aside.

I haven't tried it yet, but shouldn't you be able to automate food supply and plorts with accelerators and fans? I think I had read that somewhere. It's probably less ideal, but should do it's job, right?

the drones were really good I hope to see them again because the management of the ranch takes more than 2 hours to harvest all the plort and feed all the Slime it's much too long

i want the drones too i can't wait

[Caracho]

Yes, please

not this again. some variation of this topic always comes up after an update. drones will not be here until after/close to 1.0 and we aren't close to that yet so we have to keep waiting.

there still isn't really much reason to leave out major QOL improvements that were already created in the first game. it's been 2.5 years or so of EA already? it's pretty reasonable at this point to expect the same framework from the prior game at this point since it's not exactly a short amount of development time, as well as assuming they stored the codes, they are still using the same or similar engine I believe so most of it should be able to be repurposed, or at least used to speed up the coding of it.

that said, you are right, this discussion does keep happening, and that by itself should just prove how dumb it is to leave out an already existing QOL improvement. a lot of people who play and enjoy this like the casual experience and growing their farm, and can easily get turned off by the game when it takes most of their time just to manage their farm, which is why the drones even existed in the first place.

Aren't we close though? I was under impression that Labyrinth was the last world area.

Not being rude but what gave you that impression? I didn't see any mention that it was the last world area , only that its the biggest update to date. There are other areas that look like they are yet to be discovered as well.

I think it may be the last before 1.0, but not the actual last.
Because that is kind of where the story seems to be possibly going.

We're at the core and source of all the events sweeping the rainbow island. And mechanics-wise it feels like Glass desert did. End of the journey.

So its your opinion based off how the first game went , you may be right but this isn't the first game so you could also be wrong. Only time will tell. No offense at all but I hope you're wrong , I would love more big content updates before the game is done.

I mean, yeah, of course it's just my impression. Not like I have any insides from devs. SR1 also had quite solid post-launch content anyway - I just hope the drones arrive before that phase.

Drones will release in the "full release" (AKA 1.0) of the game which seems to be nearing, which also doesn't mean the game is over, just means the game is no longer in Early Access.

I'd guess mid to late 2026 based on previous updates and ranges.

[Noobshock]

we're getting drones in 2031.

We should be clear with our expectations bu down-voting a review on the game and n the review stating that it is unplayable due to lack of drones and our review will be updated when this changes.
