Question on "To Far From Drone Commander"

[MythN7]

If an object has this tag, but its not broken and is fully constructed and running, is there any need to make sure a command rover or drone box is near it?

For the obvious answer some would give, ya I know it wont be repaired unless it doesnt have this, but other than that, any reasons?

Depends - many buildings require drones to move resources to operate

Main reason I ask is for this.
When the rocket takes off the landing pad nearest, this scrubber is showing out of commander range.
so, as long as a rocket is parked here, its fine, but otherwise it has no commander.

Also, all the material depots that are randomly over the map I place so my auto transports dont have as far to dump things.

Will the flying drones be able to take those if there needed when that icon is on them?
As the transports seem to use them to drop off to when it says no commander.

i bet all those rusty windmills create quite the noise

nope, they are upgraded to poly, and my entire colony is fully blanket in scrubbers that each reach each other as you can see from that scrubbing overlay, also, have mds all over, lol.

I call this colony my autonomus mole hole

I like how i can just let it run while im watching a movie and come back to see a few billion dollars earned from rare exports.

hard to tell but i think i am playing the same map, or something similar. I just started playing this game a week ago (WHAT FUN!) and i finally unlocked the scrubbers. I didn't even know the windmill upgrades past the point of gears!

There are shuttles and there are rockets. Please do not use the terms interchangeably, it will confuse folks.

The rocket is also a drone commander so when its parked there the tribby wont complain.
If you dont move the tribby or put some commander near it, then it will eventually breakdown from lack of repairs.

sorry, edited post.

... so as long as the shuttle is parked here ...
No worries. Just wanted to make sure. I've heard people call them transports too.

That scrubber looks to be "serviced" by the range of the others nearby - I would launch the rocket and keep an eye on that maintenance bar. Bet it never moves.
