I think the drone HUD could be a lot better than it is now. Instead of having to individually ordering all of your drones, I think you should be able to make them all aggressive, all passive, all move to one spot, all attack one target, etc etc. Having to individually tell all of your drones to attack something you want to kill gets annoying.

Though, of course, I still think you should be able to single out a drone if you want to. Maybe add a way to "highlight" several drones at once by clicking and dragging, like you can with desktop icons or files on a computer. That way, you can still single out a drone by just clicking on them, but you'll also be able to command a lot of your drones at once.

Adding on to the highlighting drones idea, perhaps make the "auto, attack, and stay" buttons go above the slugcats head rather than under the drones, which would the HUD easier to read, and paired with the highlighting mechanic, make it much easier to command all of your drones at once.

i feel the difficulty for the drone master should be like what hunter has, with red lizards or king vultures, also not sure if this is a issue but im noticing a lack of scavengers

That... is probably an issue. There's a ton of scavs for me, and king vultures and red lizards. Your spawns might be broken. I think to fix that you need to restart the run

I play this guy with my friends a lot and i when i get killed next to him i explode, he and i find this annoying so it'd be fun to add in the remix menu something like, "Explode on death on/off" and choose how many lives he has between 0 (normal slug cat) and 3 (normal amount for dronemaster

I would wish there was a way to be able to turn off the drones killing certain creatures like scavs and such because i keep trying to negotiate with them but my drones keep on slaughterin them

This character is the most fun I have had in a while although I do wish I could make my drones just stop attacking so I can befriend scavs and tame lizards.

it would be a cool thing to retract all your drones back with some keybind in like what you see when youre going through a gate or entering a shelter

I'd like if the drones would be called off at scavenger tolls unless you deliberately press attack.

even though i'd much rather be friends with the scavengers than fight them, it seems like the idea here was that you'd more or less be "forced" to fight them (without spoiling too much); if this is the intention, though, scavengers should probably use more or less the same "system" as artificer for reputation - with it being permanently locked at -100 or so.

i say this because before i realised you weren't MEANT to befriend them, i made an active effort to do so (even taking out my own drones preemptively sometimes so they wouldn't kill on sight) and raised my rep with them to 100 (checked with dev tools). though they still waved me through when i paid tolls, they also still attempted to kill me whenever they saw me, which is a bit dissonant.

the big issue, though - and granted this is also largely because of a different mod i have - is that i have a mod that disables friendly fire, so. they could never actually hit me, and vice versa..... though my drones COULD and DID still kill them :'D

As simple as it is : An option to make drones passive towards chosen creature types, like Scavs, Lizards, or anyone else
And, uh, also - maybe drones could be able to resque grabbed friendlies with a quickly charged shock blast? Like, a zap which stuns a creature for a couple seconds

I'm loving this little guy, but I also really would like a setting to make the drones ignore scavs if you really want, if just outside of his campaign even. Since I do get why it is there in his campaign now.

p.s. Bless you for them in anti-gravity. 10/10 feature.

While I love the DroneMaster, the drones can be quite annoying. I feel like they need to maybe put a green lizard's length (vertical or horizontal) between them and the player when idling or outside combat. Why that? The amount of times I've grabbed the drones and not the object I'm after is the reason. Of course sometimes when throwing spears I hit the dang drones since they opted to be next to my face. Maybe an option that spears or projectiles thrown from the player pass by the drones.
Another suggestion is a remix setting toggle that disables slugpups from grabbing the drones.

I was thinking that this guy looks a lil to much like rivulet so I was thinking, maybe instead of having those metal things on the side of his head, maybe they could replace his ears instead.

In downpour, what if dronemaster could turn normal spears into charged electric spears? Similar to how arti does it.

Also get the drones to stop attacking tamed lizords
