Fuel for drones

[Qwotix]

I finally built a nuclear power plant and now I plan to separate a small part of the fuel that went to fuel generators in order to supply it to drones due to the fact that I have more than 1500 computers on my base that are not needed and super computers are very much needed. Do you think it's okay to do this, or is it better to use trubo fuel? The distance from my base to the supercomputer factory is 3km. Of course, I understand that batteries are best, but is 3km too much For fuel?

It will work but fuel makes the drones a little slow and will be inefficient in terms of the amount of oil spent making the fuel though.
If you are flying computers or supercomputers you'll perhaps not need so many in terms of throughput so that the drone doesn't need to travel very often? In that case I'd say it doesn't matter too much but for a drone that goes back and forth all the time, using packaged fuel isn't the best option in terms of resource management.
Turbo fuel will be more efficient. Rocket fuel can feed an army of drones.
You can also feed the drones plutonium cells instead of sinking them (since you have nuclear) but you will spread radioactivity around in doing so.

Edit: I see I may have misunderstood the question (or maybe not) but my response should still be valid :)

Battieries arent best. in terms of speed: Plutonium Fuel rods are tied with Ionized Fuel, then Nuclear fuel rods, then Batteries tied with Rocket Fuel.

3km is fine with normal packaged fuel. just might need a stack or more per round trip.

No.

well, they are optimal, especially when you have just discovered nuclear power and you don't want to have radiation near the base. thank you!

I looked at the resources around my base a little bit and in my opinion it would even be better to make batteries, especially since one user replied that fuel would have to be stacked and I need to keep resources constantly and without long stops. About nuclear fuel, it's interesting))) I'll try to implement it in the future. thank you!(I'm sorry if something wasn't clear, I use a translator)

You can figure out how much fuel you need. hope into a creative world, and place a port where you'd want them. Load em up with packaged fuel and then see how much fuel it needs and how long a round trip is. then you can work out how many packaged fuel you need per minute to sustain it.

If a trip takes 5 minutes and use up 50 fuel, you need to make 10 packaged fuel/min to keep it fed, tho i would recommend overproducing and sink the overflow.

I just watched a comparison on youtube titled "Which Fuel Is BEST For DRONES In Satisfactory 1.0".

You can easily run a trip DOUBLE the length on the standard (yellow) fuel. Yes, it will use more, but for long trips you also have longer to produce new fuel.

Very roughly for you: 3 km = ~65 normal fuel, 25 turbo fuel, 7 rocket fuel, 9 batteries, and something like 0.07 uranium fuel rods for your trip. Again, roughly. The numbers really aren't that high.

In case you can miss them plutonium fuel rods are very effective.
This is a good way to find out fuel demand:
