Psychic Droner time Lasted: incorrect

[Aerrin Longheart]

A psychic droner landed on the world map, affecting females within a 10 square radius. My colony was, of course, within this radius.
I ignored the psychic droner for days. After about 5 days, a psychic droner crashed onto my colony map.
I then noticed the psychic droner was affecting males, and the time was still climbing.
I sent out a caravan to attack the psychic droner on the main map, and during the march there, the psychic droner effect increased, and my colonists in my colony started going on food binges, or shooting each other.
I destroyed the psychic droner on the map, and I noted it was still a low intensity.
When I look at the newly landed psychic droner at my colony, I can see it is the one with medium intensity, and has been operating for 7 days. I am certain it just landed though.

tl;dr The psychic droner copied or summed the Lasted time from the world map's psychic drone, and is operating much sooner than expected to destroy my colony.

Psychic Ships increase in intensity every 2.5 days, going from low, to medium, to high, to extreme. So beyond it telling you it's lasted longer, which might be intentional if it's tracking the duration of the effect and not the source, it didn't ramp up in strength any faster than normal. At day 5 of the effect the ship part crashed, at day 7.5 of of the effect it increased in strength to medium. Otherwise it would have been at high or extreme already, as they hit extreme 7.5 days after landing.

The psychic ship part event is bugged when you already have a droner on the map. When you have a female droner on the world map and get a ship part crash for males onto the local map, the females stop being affected and only the droner of your local map starts counting for the males, with the older tooltip being swapped over to the males (with the duration not reseted).

When you destroy the newly landed droner, it will still be your male being affected even though the quest from the one on the world map says females.

Good find!

Everything you said is correct except I destroyed the map droner first.
The map droner was surprisingly easy too. There was a proximity alarm covering half the building, but not one of the doors leading inside.
My team claimed the door, opened it, walked inside, and shot the defenseless droner until it died.
They then picked up the leftover scrap, and walked back out the door, and left the map. The mech cluster never work up, and that was that.

Yeah the mech clusters also only have 1 mech in it regardless of your wealth. The pirate variant scales and has easily 17+ pirates. That has been reported too.

I think when you destroy the map droner first you only have a buggy description it seems.
