How on earth do you use the drone? You have to pick it up and right click it to turn it on, but you can throw it while you're holding it or drop it in any other way.
Honestly I love this game, but the inventory and object manipulation systems are really janky and annoying. Are there plans to change it so that you can equip items from your hand, and you don't have to put them in your inventory?
EDIT: NVM figured it out, i'm dumb
