Service drones in inactive orbit after I built a coolant in the center of their triangular route. 


That's them circling. Haunting? All the drones energy-drained, too.
Up top is the new one I made, which is stationary because it's not servicing them, either. Only the other drones. By shape of corridor hope you can see what I mean by triangular routes.
p.s. I really love the zoom focus function with the pointer and the mouse wheel. I haven't tested it on other interfaces like trackpad but it was very pleasing and intuitive to me. Others may find it dizzying, it was kind of Iron Man on-focus control, simple and elegant.

p.p.s. Aw, spoke too soon. Multiple un-connected elevators turned all the drones into Blair Witch Project. Staring at wall, no power. Adding drones temporary fix...  and then zoom stopped working completely.

It is due to some of the game logic. The Service Drones are chasing each other trying to service each other, and the inactive drones do not try to service them because they see another drone is already trying to. Elevators also cause some issues, presumably because the logic only checks if an elevator is there and not whether it is going up or down. This happens more often when a drone is trying to get to a site one level up, but there is an elevator going down on the level below it -- the drone "thinks" it can use the elevator to go up to the site, but it does not.

Since Doooooom made the source available, I plan to see if I can "fix" it and submit a patch.
