Select all Drones

[Djayc85]

Anyway of selecting all drone linked to a rocket, hub or rover to then reassign to another?

[Obiwan]

yes this desperately needs to happen.

individually clicking drones and assigning from ship to hub is tedious and I am pretty surprised this was never considered.

[Pinstar]

In addition, they need a "Select all idle drones" button if you want to skim some excessive drones off of one hub and toss them to another.

Well the other way to do it is make sure all the drones are off ship (ie not recharging) and launch it, left behind they'll auto reassign to the nearest hub.

[Recteur LP]

well just drop 70 drones in a rocket, and never find the shorcut/button to reassign drones + you are not able to make the camera follow a unit like in city skyline.

these are missing and NEEDED features :(

I hate to nitpick such a fun game but I'm also kind of shocked that in all of their playtesting they never considered it. Either that or they think that kind of chore adds something to the game...

look really gamebreaking for; me

It does become tedious to manually click each one and assign accordingly. I would like a "drone view" that shows me all the drones and what their status is. This way I can click/multi click each one and assign to another location, be it a hub or resource.

I think it's easy to disassemble the drones and build them together elsewhere ... That's the way I swap my drones from one Hub to an other.

[Djayc85]

I'm surprised it wasn't considered or maybe it was stripped out to port to the consoles

Either way it's a little shameful, once you have a sprawling colony with lots of drones it's long to click each one to reassign

Drone re-assignment is definitely badly in need of some QoL improvement. Even just being able to cluck on a drone controller (hub, rocket or rover) and select “un-assign all” or “assign all idle drones nearby”.

Hm, I don't get the point. What is the problem to disassemble for example 5 drones in Hub A and reassamble them in Hub B? That will move them from Hub A to Hub B without any time loss.

Time involved in dismantle and rebuild, still need to click each one and select dismantle.

Also is there any resource loss involved in dismantle?

Each Drone Hub has a Dismantle Drone button which immediately turns one of its assigned Drones into a Drone prefab. In the same or another Drone Hub you can use the Construct Drone button to immediately assemble a Drone from 1 Drone prefab.

Salvaging of individual Drones leads to resource loss, as you gain just 1 Metals and no Drone prefab.

Does that apply to rovers and rockets?

That's the main issue I'm facing reassignment from rover/rocket

That's helpful
