Zedemix, after you buy blueprint for a tank - you able to craft tank parts at Crafting table (for that tank).
Drone uses from tablet in vehicle. Choose "drone" tab and set path. Single mouse click - make taget point for drone. Mouse click while holding "Shift" key - make chain of targets. Drone will detect metall objects in ground.
Zedemix Nov 20, 2022 @ 6:06pm 
What are the blueprints for, and how to use the drone?
