Drone Port Tiers
In 0.1 the Drone Port was a single entity allowing construction and logistics in its immediate area of operations (AO), and when connected to a wifi network also assisting other connected drone ports outside its AO over long distances. Early introduction of such a flexible entity quickly reduced the challenge of belts, tubes and vehicles.
In 0.2 the two Drone Port tiers split up that functionality:
- Drone Port has few drones, no network connection, operates only inside its AO, available early game.
. - Drone Port (Smart) has more drones, a network connection, operates both inside its AO and assists other ports connected to the same wifi channel, available mid game.
