Is there a reason the reconstructed drone has to remain floating on your targeting box?

[jlrmarin]

Does it also have to have a hitbox the size of a Sentinel Walker on top of that while you're looking through your analysis visor?

It's like, cool, here's this drone companion. Now you have to keep it turned off because 1) it flies in front of you while mining, 2) it blocks your ability to analyze things when it's constantly in front of you, 3) it absorbs shots for its sentinel enemies during firefights.

Why does HG never beta test anything? The drone is cute and it would be fun to keep it around all the time, but unfortunately it interferes with gameplay. Good thing I don't use a geology cannon/plasma launcher. That drone is not well thought out.

Find the drone's icon in your inventory and click it to put it away.

in this ss it is 4 on top to right.

So this thing appeared out of the blue and is buzzing and dronning, floating in front of my face most of the time. It's annoying, I don't want it. When I interact with it, it spews some gibberish. I can't seem to find a way to get rid of it. It's not in the quick menu and the Save Editor doesn't show I have a companion. According to the wiki this drone companion is acquired during a specific mission:

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/A_Trace_of_Metal

But I haven't done any such missions. I don't even have a settlement, I don't want to. Please tell me there is a way to get rid of this "gift".

You may have to do some of the mission to get it physicalized in your inventory. Then you can hit E on the icon for it and it'll be dismissed.

[Zak]

I've already checked, it's not in my inventory. Oh, that sucks, so I have to get a settlement to run this mission so just I can get rid of it? Maybe it's a sign that it's time to take a break from this game. Thank you!

[wkitty42]

turn Laylaps off the same way you turned him on by using the item in your inventory... then stash that item in your storage somewhere and leave it there... you may want/need it at some point in the future...


edit: oops... i didn't realize there were more pages to this topic...

if you don't have a settlement, the real question is how did you acquire Laylaps in the first place? did someone maybe give you the controller item in question? or maybe a save editor was used?

[Zak]

Yup, no settlement. But it's gone. I no longer see it. I quit and relaunched the game and I no longer see it.

No, I'm not aware of any conscious actions I've taken to acquire it. I dislike all sorts of companions in games. It just appeared today at some point after I teleported to a base. And now it disappeared. I thought perhaps it was a result of finishing the main story, but that was yesterday.

A bug? This game has many. Glad it's gone. Thanks!

[Keitaro Steevan]

the drone is really annoying especially when you wanna scan something.
i have the "icon" in my inventory, i've interact with it to "deactivate" but the damn drone still floating around in front of my face. it's frigging annoying. tried the quit & relaunch game method. no use.

[Galactic Starman]

Any companion can easily and simply be controlled by using companion commands bound to hot keys or controller buttons. They can be recalled or dismissed in a similar way.

Anything in the Quick Menu can be bound to keys using [Cntrl] and choosing a digit [0-9]
Indirectly the number keys can be bound to controller buttons.

Companions can be summoned or immediately dismissed with a click. They can be directed with a click. The Minotaur AI can be enabled or disabled with a click.

Alternatively, camera Views can be swapped with a click. The music player can be switched on or off with a click to hear the playlist of byte beat tracks. Multi-tools can be swapped. Creature bait can be thrown with a click. Squadrons can be dismissed or called. Emotes can be assigned. Photos can be snapped instantly with dramatic results. Want to capture that lightning strike or moment of disaster or awe with your controller? Assign Quick Menu hotkeys. : )

Perhaps you have the sentinel flare in your inventory, probably gifted to you unknowingly by a traveller while in the anomaly. Press 'e' to deactivate it.

[Mynx-In-Match]

As far as chasing your companions down, they are partly autonomous. They will say next to their name that they are "Scouting Ahead". Personally, I'd be happier having some options to adjust the companion roaming range myself.

maybe something detailed like in ark
