Drones are an amazing automation tool in The Planet Crafter when you unlock the Drone Station. I personally find them super satisfying to get functioning. But they have a few quirks and nuances that if you understand will allow you to better leverage them, especially as you start really scaling up the size of your outfit.
Most notably when you have a ton of extractors you may find resources piled up in them even though your demand containers aren't full. I'll explain how to deal with this.

A very helpful video. I like the logic of how you are setting things up.

Clean and straightforward. Thanks a lot💐

How to do it effectively: Autocraft drones, setup delivery to the drone station. So drones can deliver drones as demand increases. And of course, make a bunch of drone stations, 1:50 drones or so.

@@sigCrafts does it matter what i set my drills too? or only my lockers

@dabeamer42 Месяц назад

Very helpful. I kinda thought the food and algae worked that way (i.e. drones will pull from them even if they're not specifically set as supply), but I couldn't find anything to verify that. I just set up some farms and algae extractors, and suddenly I had big lockers full of them.

@sigCrafts Месяц назад

yea Im glad they did it that way since you can't otherwise set anything for them.

@bixbysnyder-00 Месяц назад

You have the option to 'supply or demand' on farms, but not for algae. Algae is automatically brought to a demand source. Regardless of distance to an autocrafter, just would need a demand chest for algae nearby. Farms and food growers do have a supply and demand option so I use those just to be safe.

@O_Obsidious Месяц назад

love this system so much its so satisfying figuring everything out and realizing that you can compress most materials into rods using autocrafters and become rich like a goat lol

yea it's been so cool playing with this, it scratches the productiony/logistics itch but without being too mathy

@Tokka-_-0 Месяц назад

what is that box icom with 3 arrows below the supply icon in storage containers, what does it do?

@sigCrafts Месяц назад

it's basically a 'supply all' option adding every item as a supply so you don't have to click each one. useful for generic drop boxes. but over-using seems to cause hitching if you use it as a shortcut for hundreds of supply containers. found that out the hard way :D

@brilliantlysplendid 16 дней назад

Well I guess it’s no wonder my materials were moving so slowly. I had the priority set up backwards lol

@sigCrafts 15 дней назад

oops! lol

@theiran Месяц назад

So, if I build an auto crafter in a lake and surround it with algae generators, I can have it constantly produce bacteria, which the drones could take to storage and rockets to be sold?

@sigCrafts Месяц назад

yes! in fact that's a great way to start with token farming and one of the first things I did as well. Plop an auto crafter in the lake surrounded by water collectors & algae generators. Eventually you can start pulling in sulfur & eggplant to get fertilizer, and so on so forth...

@stevenschlatter7497 Месяц назад

how do you deconstruct Tier 1 drones? I only want Tier 2 drones, thanks for the video, very helpful. I am really enjoying the game

@Acez_420 Месяц назад

U have to grab them out of the station as they come in (it may take a while) but you can then put them through a recycler

@sigCrafts Месяц назад

seems my reply got auto-modded by youtube a few times and Im not sure why :/ set a container to demand t1 drones and they'll get dropped off eventually. then put them into a recycler for their parts

@deplya8537 7 дней назад

so i set my lockers to priority, not my drills, ok?

@DayhawkSilverstar 21 день назад

I get about 10 or 12 drones then some just start sitting at the drone base even though there are things waiting to be moved around. Anyone else have that happen?

@holidayinn4293 20 дней назад

You don't have enough docking stations to support your drones or you're using the stations to store junk which also makes it where drones can't dock and reset their tasks.

@sigCrafts 17 дней назад

check for storage constraints. remember that drones aren't predictive so they won't know something is about to be consumed from a container with an autocrafter. if youre auto crafting you'll want at least lockers if not t2 lockers being used to make sure there's enough space to allocate more drones.

@DayhawkSilverstar 14 дней назад

@@sigCrafts Thanks! I looked back at it all again and now its working.

@wavetrex 14 дней назад

Wait, autocrafters picking up algae by themselves ?? They don't seem to do that for me. What gives? Are you using a mod ?

@sigCrafts 14 дней назад

no mods. as long as theyre within range of the auto crafter (20 meters) they should just grab them up, same with plants in growers/farms. Drones should also grab them as well without setting them as a supply
